Sarah was giving a much discussed speech at CSU last night, there was much eager anticipation from the Sarah fans and much disgust from her detractors.

For more in depth detail Palingates have the whole sorry story.

Sarah gave one of her slam Obama blockbusters, not forgetting to call the 2 girls who 'unearthed' her infamous contract with the CSU 'dumpster divers'. In the same speech and with no apparent awareness of the cognitive dissonance praised Neda for her heroism in fighting the establishment.

After the speech, Fox 40 had an apparent open mic problem.

Basically, journalists and techies wrapping up were over heard to say that Sarah was dumb as a rock and listening to her was like riding a rollercoaster.

The fans, who were just in the middle of a YAY! Sarah hit it out the park! moment went nuts.

Link to them, hate to give them the attention, but they are so hilarious it's a shame not to share.

Sarah Palin...Happy, Beautiful and in Command

The writing on the palm, never gets old... free advertisiing...

Keep passing out piggy banks Mitten. You couldn't deliver this speech in a million years.

Yes, very new stuff and relevant to the college folks. It's clear why the Evil Empire tried to get this event canceled

.

SLAMMING the Socialists and Progressives! The dangers of intellectuals flirting with Communism! Talking about apologising to Dictators! Exposing the dangers of excessively PC "cultural tolerance" SHE ROOOOOOCKKKKKKKKSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy she is knocking this out of the park!



BUT WAIT! WHAT'S THIS? Somethings wrong...........

Does anyone have the email for this live feed crew? They are the most biased unprofessional bunch and should all be fired.

I think they knew the audio was on, their trashing her speech sounded too pointed and the clearest vocal out of the whole event. Planned to make the morning news no doubt.

Now we know why the feed sucked. Incompetent Lefties were handling it. They ruin everything they touch.

We need to all call the station...they need to be fired

Freakin wierdos those guys are...man I wish I was there with them, I wouldn't let them get away with that. They even sound like liberals..

Read my statement above. They said, "All you do is put a bunch of quotes together," "Did she even make a point," "Now I know dumbness isn't from soundbytes"

It sounded to me that the person who said "the dumbness is not just in the soundbites," which itself is an illiterate manner of expression, was a reporter. He had to wrtie a story about the evening. He had an older voice. The two younger idiots were talking about how they filled their theme papers with quotes when they had nothing better to say. In other words the content of the speech went over their heads.

Well I have it on good authority...Sarah has left the Building.

That is a lame cop out by the station. Someone controlling the station's video deliberately switched the audio feed from the mike on the podium to the mike behind the camera so that the libs there could broadcast their comments without having their faces recorded. This is a planned, deliberate act by cowards.

What don't you get about it being broadcast on the Fox40 website? The Fox40 Website?

Tammy Bruce wasn't happy, that makes me very happy.

Here are tweets apparently Tammy sent to Fox40; I still don't get how twitter works ... @FOX40 Whomever was engaging in the smears, they all owe your viewers and Governor Palin an apology. Not impressed. 4 minutes ago via web Reply Retweet @FOX40 Obviously they were unaware the mic was picking them up, and made disparaging comments about the Governor. 5 minutes ago via web Reply Retweet @FOX40 Hi there, I just covered your livestream and was shocked by the comments of your techies and I believe reporter after the fact. 5 minutes ago via web

LOTS of chatter on the twitter about this. @Fox40 is getting hammered! :) I'm retweeting like crazy ...

Let me just say this. If Sarah Palin is elected President, I will not be diplomatic about it. I am going to rub every left wingers face in it. I am going to rub it in every liberal media persons (redundant) face. I will enjoy it immensely:)

The people at Fox40 are a bunch of dirty rat fornicators

There are so, so many more, all hilarious, but I'll leave you with that last happy thought.

Hav done my best to try and ind a transcript. Politicusa has one, but I can't get in for some reason. Will provide link in case you can.

Now In, transcipt

During the live mic drama at the end, the reporters said now they know that her "dumbness doesn’t come from soundbites" and wondered if she had finished ONE statement, but decided, no she had not. They laughed derisively and made jokes about having to text their conservative friends about this. Other various comments:

Palin Drama: Live Mic Left On, Reporters Call Palin "Dumb"

Share 4diggsdiggOK, people. I tweeted Palin’s CSU Stanislaus speech tonight so you wouldn’t have to listen. I thought it was going well (sliding scale), and breathed a sigh of relief for her when it ended...only to be SHOCKED by hearing reporters discussing her performance in a brutally frank manner, reminiscent of Peggy Noonan’s open mic debacle regarding Palin. Of course, Peggy’s open mic moment left us wondering why the pundits were not being honest with us about Palin. Clearly they knew she wasn’t up to the task of Vice President. But I digress....

As we know, where ever Sarah goes, drama follows.

"I feel like I just got off a rollercoaster."

"She didn’t finish a statement."

"I don’t know how you’re gonna make a story out of that." "Well, that’s the story."

"Did she even make a point?"

"Lots of Reagan."

"Just put as many random quotes in as you can."

UPDATE 2 - with thanks to Scarce in the comments

Statement from Fox 40 SACRAMENTO - Thousands of people from California and around the world tuned in to FOX40.com to listen to a speech prepared by Sarah Palin Friday evening from the campus of California State University, Stanislaus. During that stream, several unfortunate events occurred that we hope to clear up through this statement. First, FOX40 News was the only station streaming a live signal from CSU Stanislaus during Sarah Palin's presentation. Friday, we were told by officials organizing the speech that we were not permitted to beam a live signal direct from the dining hall where Sarah Palin was presenting; instead, we were offered the opportunity to aim a FOX40 camera at a projection screen inside a room for assembled media down the hall from where Sarah Palin was due to speak. We were cautioned by the organizers of the event that there was an ongoing audio situation. We were faced with two decisions -- to not carry a speech of local and national importance due to the low-quality methods we'd be forced to transmit, or to provide a signal by any means necessary. It was with the public interest in mind that we opted for the latter.

Thank you for the tips and recs folks, I'm a bit shy of doing this but wanted you to know I am very grateful.
