Composer Challenge

I would really really love some composer out there to set the following quote by Sarah Palin to music, preferably referencing popular idioms if possible:

"Sitting here in these chairs that I'm going to be proposing but in working with these governors who again on the front lines are forced to and it's our privileged obligation to find solutions to the challenges facing our own states every day being held accountable, not being just one of many just casting votes or voting present every once in a while, we don't get away with that. We have to balance budgets and we're dealing with multibillion dollar budgets and tens of thousands of employees in our organizations."

I'll even lyricize it for you:

Sitting here in these chairs

That I'm going to be proposing 

But in working with these governors

Who again on the front lines are forced to

 And it's our privileged obligation

To find solutions to the challenges facing our own states

Every day being held accountable

Not being just one of many just casting votes

Or voting present

Every once in awhile

We don't get away with that (x4)

We have to balance budgets and

we're dealing with multibillion dollar budgets and

Tens of thousands of employees in our organizations

In fact if I didn't think it'd be already super-passe, creating some kind of jazz cabaret night called Palinsongs using text from her interviews would be pretty sweet.

Gabriel Kahane might be your guy. I heard him do his infamous Craiglistslieder in Park Slope one time...creepy genius. http://www.stylusmagazine.com/reviews/gabriel-kahane/walking-away-from-winter.htm, http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94294813
