leaders with word trouble, I’ll say!

Take the case w/potus Ike in 1961, and then last night on GB when he spoke of Ike and his famous speech—beck didn’t pick up on that missing word either...

All English words were invented by someone.

Liberals invent words all the time. They tack a “gate” on the end of something a Republican has done and transform it into a scandal. But I guess that’s OK.

There’s only one King of Kenya, and he’s also King of America.
I like Sarah’s word “refudiate”-—I might like it even more if I searched the exact context of the sentence it came from and found that it was a perfect mix of refute and repudiate that was needed to make her point.

Quick-—can anyone tell me one word Samuel Taylor Coleridge invented way back about 200 years ago in Biographia Literaria?

I only skimmed the article, but I remember when Obama said something would “wreck havoc” instead of “wreak havoc.”

Left to their own, Barry and Michelle, with four Ivy League degrees between them, are more grammatically challenged than Palin. (And yes, that’s saying something.)

This is covered by the National Media while the NBPP story is not.

There's just no point in pretending this media is comprised of journalists anymore. This media is comprised of propagandists, and is as dangerous as any enemy our Country has.

AT least Sarah doesn’t need a teleprompter to tell her what to say and when...

No worse than the frequent use of the non-existent word “irregardless”.
