Remix Sarah Palin

Our favorite hatchet-voiced harpy continues to dominate cable news channels even as the global economy slipped another few hundred notches on Monday morning. There's just something about this lady that we cannot seem to get enough of, no matter what else is going on, even if divining what she's driving at isn't always the easiest thing in the world.

A remix contest created with MixMatchMusic's remix contest widget lets anyone re-sequence sound bites from the former Miss Alaska contender to make it sound as if the words are strung together in some sort of intentional order.

You can either use MixMatchMusic's own online remix tool to do this, but more advanced remixers will want to download the stems and import them into digital audio workstation software where they can be combined with beats and music. So far, the most popular remixes in the contest are all a capella, but entrants have strung together a few amusing sentences so far nonetheless.

If only there were a way for politicians' speechwriters to use something like Scrambled Hackz to create videos of our candidates speaking in a realistic, knowledgable way. Until then, we'll have to content ourselves with more rudimentary puppetry mechanisms like this.
