What language is this?

It can be tough to come up with substantive comments about complex issues in a short time-frame, but that doesn't lessen our confusion this afternoon. The following is a large portion of best-selling author Sarah Palin's contribution to a panel discussion just after President Obama's State of the Union address, as posted in a transcript by the Fox News Channel:

"VAN SUSTEREN: And Governor Palin, in terms of the speech, do you think [Obama] managed to reach across the aisle, even though you used the word 'lecture', are any Republicans persuaded, let's try to work together?

PALIN: Not necessarily Greta, because the remembrance here has got to be that he and the Democrats, they've been in charge of Washington this last year. So the common sense reforms that he is looking to Republicans to join him on, he could have implemented many of those 'common sense', as he calls them, reforms all along. Nothing has stopped him from doing that.

His mention of offshore drilling, considering that, and new energy plants, and other things that do make a lot of sense, and I appreciate he mentioning those in the speech tonight. Those things that again are common sense he could have implemented. And I think that was a bit condescending as he spoke that received by Republicans, who are saying, wait, we wanted to do that all along. Where you been?"
