This is seriously a quote, taken from Newsweek via a CBS Transcript:

Katie COURIC: Why isn't it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

Sarah PALIN: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the—it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.

Holy bleeping bleep. Read it again.

I'm convinced that on Thursday, in the midst of debating Joe Biden, she's going to end an answer with "such as."

UPDATE: As you can see below, Tina Fey didn't have to do much to make Palin's interview into parody.

With even the arch-conservatives calling for Palin's withdrawl and unfounded (we think) rumors of Biden's health, I can't remember such uncertainty amidst what should be a certainty.
