The sentences of Sarah Palin, diagrammed. - By Kitty Burns Florey - Slate Magazine

http://www.slate.com/id/2201158
"I had to give up. This sentence is not for diagramming lightweights. If there's anyone out there who can kick this sucker into line, I'd be delighted to hear from you. To me, it's not English—it's a collection of words strung together to elicit a reaction, floating ands and prepositional phrases ("with that vote of the American people") be damned. It requires not a diagram but a selection of push buttons."
