I didn't get to this in my story on Palin's lower-48 in Seneca Falls, but she hasn't lost her ability to deliver a raw, base-riling stemwinder, and her introduction of Michael Reagan in Anchorage the other night is worth a listen (.mp3) and is currently making the rounds on the right. She opens the introduction praising Reagan's son, a talk radio guy, for his willingness "to screw the political correctness that some would expect him to try to adhere to."
She blasts "self-proclaimed intellectuals, and the smug lobbyists who dominate Washington, and the liberal media."
And she suggests Obama is trying to impose big government as a tool of control.
"We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers, being led to believe that big government is the answer, to bail out the private sector, because then government gets to get in there and control it," she says. "And mark my words, this is going to be next, I fear, bail out next debt-ridden states. Then government gets to get in there and control the people."
CNN had a write-up, but a reader notes the speech -- perhaps because of that killer time difference -- didn't get the coverage I think it probably deserved.
