Politics Daily ^ | September 7, 2010 | Tom Diemer

"She'll never be the nominee", "Quitter", "All washed up", "Half-Governor", blah, blah, yada, yada...

[presently no screen name]

The MSM doesn’t get it. Propaganda always works but when it comes to SARAH, it doesn’t. Two years later they are still at it.

[SERKIT]

How about Barry’s “Corpse-Man” malaprop?

[ronnyquest]

All else aside, it REALLY irritates me when supposedly educated people, especially those with “Ivy league” credentials, cannot use simple words and phrases properly or use words that do not exist.

[Windflier]

That’s our girl!

[Political Junkie Too]

That one's a dead-man walking.

"All else aside, it REALLY irritates me when supposedly educated people, especially those with “Ivy league” credentials, cannot use simple words and phrases properly or use words that do not exist."

If you're referring to Governor Palin, she didn't attend an "Ivy League" university. Unlike Mr. Obama, she had to pay her own way.

That is the only thing they have on her which is far better than the real mess the donkeys made out of the economy.

I don’t know if people realize this, but those jacks didn’t just pick the $787B figure out of the air when they decided on how much to spend on the porkulus. It is nearly equal to what was spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as of when the bill passed, and more if one considers additional legislation that added to it for a grand total of $862B (and counting - excluding interest).

They shouldn’t get all breathless about such things - sounds like someone needs a breathalyzer.

You do know that Sarah's "refudiate" was a Twitter typo, don't you? She didn't make the word up. It was an error that the MSM blew up in an attempt to embarrass her.

You do make a valid point, though, and I agree with it.

Obama's "corpse-man" would be my choice of an Ivy League linguistic failure. That one came straight out of his own mouth while he was reading a prepared text.

[stylin19a]

or gettin all “wee-weed up”.

[domeika]

Gee, they didn't have a problem with FDR's 'normalcy'. But, I guess that's.....different.

[headstamp 2]

“Irregardless”

[EQAndyBuzz]

It’s all Strategery I tell you.

[Tanniker Smith]

Still like “cackle of rads”

[rfp1234]

Zeroastrianism: the narcissistic religion, founded by Barack Obama, that worships Barack Obama.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Refudiate is actually a word. It was used as far back as the early 1980s.

[ronnyquest]

It is a word that ignorant people used in place of refute and repudiate.

"“Irregardless”"

Ugh, that is a non-word in common circulation that I first heard in the army.

"You do know that Sarah's "refudiate" was a Twitter typo, don't you? She didn't make the word up. It was an error that the MSM blew up in an attempt to embarrass her."

I was making a generalization. I, in no way, meant it as a slight to Saint Sarah.
