American politician and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin likes to ramble on a bit, but she was really put on the spot this weekend when giving a live talk in Iowa after her teleprompter froze and she had to freestyle the rest of her speech.

She flipped through some notes and tried to string together some one liners which just sounded absurd and disjointed, like “the man can only ride you when your back is bent. So strengthen it! Then the man can’t ride you.” Real deep stuff there.

Watch below:

Pretty horrible, but at least she didn’t completely choke the way rapper/poet Marshall Pope did during his live TV freestyle last year.
