Sarah Palin: "That's what she said."

Palin to coin popular phrase for 2012 presidential campaign slogan

Report by Spencer Healey



'Cox and Cocktails' (Warren G. Harding), 'Not just peanuts' (Jimmy Carter), and 'He's making us proud again' (Gerald R. Ford) will all go down together in history as part of an exclusive club made up of sayings that tug at the heartstrings and patriotism of every American this side of California.  The Club = Presidentail Campaign Slogans. 

2012 presidential campaign hopeful Senator Sarah Palin of Alaska has revealed her soon to be slogan, 'That's what she said...' (referred to as TWSS for the remainder of article).  Sources close to Palin say that this particular phrase "goes very deep for Palin" (TWSS).  A big fan of the hit comedy series 'The Office', Palin explained, "I want people to remember me for being both 'a woman' AND 'a talker' in this race" (TWSS). 

That's what Palin said.

Palin points to the popularity of the saying as one of the key reasons for choosing it over other slogan hopeful,s like 'Sarah WILL fight you', 'A gun in every hand', and 'Palin-See, we told you the Republican Party wasn't sexist'.  "Really in the end," remarked Palin, "it comes down to 'What are voters going to remember?'"  And she has a point- the term 'That's what she said'  is a household quip known to virtually everyone in America.  One of Palin's staff mentioned that "It's really the easiest way to create a dirty joke or innuendo."  When asked if he used the phrase often, he responded, "I use it all the time (TWSS).  It's not as good though if it's just been used by someone else (TWSS)."

The 2012 presidential race is still two years away, but, as proven by Senator Palin, there is a lot to look forward to (TWSS).  I asked the Senator how she thinks her slogan will affect her in the polls. She answered, "Well, I know that I'll be in a good position (TWSS).  I'm the kind of person that wants to be on top (TWSS).  Two years is a long time to wait, but I think that it will create alot of anticipation (TWSS)."  It remains to be seen if Palin herself understands how to use the phrase TWSS in context with political issues, but in my opinion there really is no way to screw this one up (TWSS).
