How do we perceive an orator who describes his own humbleness as "great"? Particularly right after using the word "profound" to describe his gratitude?
If I tried accepting this as sensible public speaking, I'd probably feel the same cognitive dissonance as I would with Condoleeza Rice's statement that foreign forces should be withdrawn from Iraq -- as if US forces aren't foreign.

Do you perceive Palin's speech that way too? If so, then I suppose you voice that opinion when people discuss her speech here, and that's certainly a sensible opinion. (But if you don't, has she transcended the everyday political world into a new realm of darkness?)
Personally, I think Palin's nomination speech was more entertaining than all the other speeches, though I mentioned one of my concerns about it in an earlier post.
