There was a time when Sarah Palin made the case that serving as a Republican Governor was just about the most patriotic thing a person could do.

That, of course, was before she got sick of her job and decided to move on. But just in case she forgets how essential she once said her job was, here's a flashback to November 13, 2008, at the Republican Governors Association meeting in Miami, Florida.

What this video really shows is that whatever Palin is saying at any given moment are just words fluttering out of her mouth. She may believe them as she says them, but they have no durability; in the long run, any promise she makes is almost completely devoid of any significance or meaning.
