3. Thirty-eight times, I think. What is it with Sarah Palin and that word?

Her overuse of the word is almost like a nervous habit.

6. Atrios noticed it too.

Debate Thread The First

If you chose "also" as your debate drinking game world, consider calling the ambulance right now.

4. There is this segment of people

who think using "also", particularly in place of "too", makes them sound more sophisticated - a quality Sarah is desperate to project.

One day in April 1996, Sarah Palin waited in line at a cosmetics counter at the Anchorage, Alaska, JCPenney. She'd fibbed to her husband Todd that she planned on going shopping at Costco. Instead, she made a beeline for JCPenney to see Ivana Trump. As she waited, a local reporter for the Anchorage Daily News who'd come out to cover the publicity event interviewed her. Why did she want to see Ivana Trump? "'We want to see Ivana … because we are so desperate in Alaska for any semblance of glamour and culture,'" she told the reporter.

5. "Also" means Palin is adding another talking point to please her corp masters.

She's being a good parrot, and also a vicious rattlesnake. Both come naturally to an ambitious narcissist like her.

7. "Also" is Sarah's "such as."

YOu are correct!

9. Palin's learned to conserve energy that'd otherwise be wasted on grammar and logical construction...

"Also," am I the only one bothered by the fact that if McCain actually did get elected and couldn't finish his term, we'd once again have a President who says "nukular"?

10. English is not my first language

But doesn't she have terrible sentence construction, and uses a lot of.. I don't know the technical term.. ", that"'s, ", where"'s and ", of which"'s that is not needed?
