If someone says she is dumb remind them that the “smartest” people in the country are the ones who got us into this mess!

Now, if she could only Americans to get back to writing proper English, regardless of the vocabulary. You know, good English, as we ask of the illegals.

Do you guys know how this will, indeed, aggravate the HELL out of the intelligentsia in Universities around the globe?

I hadn't thought about *that*!!! I'll post my version of Sarah's reaction.

Palin later joked at her own expense...

Didn't Ronald Reagan do that at times?

Where did 'wee-wee'd up place or am I misuninformed?

Everything she touches turns to gold? She just got a word into the New Oxford American Dictionary. Freaking unbelievable.

Well, if "ginormous" (which is a cross between gigantic and enormous) may be considered a valid word; and if "guesstimate" (which is a hybrid of guess and estimate) is perfectly acceptable; I see no reason why "refudiate" should be...well, refudiated by The Elite Class...

"From a strictly lexical interpretation of the different contexts in which Palin has used 'refudiate,' we have concluded that neither 'refute' nor 'repudiate' seems consistently precise, and that 'refudiate' more or less stands on its own, suggesting a general sense of 'reject.' "the New Oxford American Dictionary said in a press release.

When I first heard it, I had the same reaction. I knew it was "wrong" lexically, but I thought it was absolutely brilliant semantically.

`How do you solve a problem like Sarah?!’
The MSM, the GOP & the Donks

They don’t have a clue as to how to refudiate her, do they? ;^)
