My governor, promising thorough reform:

Through reform, absolutely. Look at the oversight that has been lack [lax?], I believe, here at the 1930s type of regulatory regime overseeing some of these corporations. And we’ve got to get a more coordinated and a much more stringent oversight regime . . . government can play a very, very appropriate role in the oversight as people are trusting these companies with their life savings, with their investments, with their insurance policies, and construction bonds, and everything else.

I would suggest here that Sarah Palin is pig-ignorant, but that would be an insult to pigs. Pigs, after all — being pigs — know what it is that they’re supposed to do each day, what with the rooting and wallowing and squealing and such. Sarah Palin, apparently, does not realize that modern American conservatives did not object to the regulatory innovations of the New Deal because they were antiquated, but rather because they existed in the first place. And modern conservatives — like the erstwhile economic adviser to John McCain, to say nothing of John McCain himself — rectified the problem by sending those regulations into the spindler.
