A friend wondered why Sarah Palin so often inserts the word "there" gratuitously into her statements:
"There was deception there..."
"Barack Obama though, another story there."
Below is my off-the-cuff response to that question, ah, there:
A linguist would probably have a precise term for such a construction; but my own amateur take is it's a verbal crutch she has developed to compensate for a lack of precision in her thinking and a lack of mastery of sentence and paragraph structure.
