They played a clip of Palin’s speech, which was as bizarre as promised. At one point, Palin declared that illegal immigrants were being “seduced” into going to America with “gift baskets of teddy bears and soccer balls.”
“Was that more White Rabbit or Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?” Scarborough asked, continuing the riff.
“It would be fair to say the audience was not fully enthralled…” said Heilemann (who attended the event). “There was a lot of eating of potato chips and people shaking their heads and yawning and laughing throughout. I would say the audience received that speech in the way you would have imagined a smart group of Wisconsinites would have received the speech.”
