Sarah Palin used to pronounce Mitt Romney's name "M-I-L-T."
In one of the many embarrassing anecdotes about the former Alaska governor, former aide Frank Bailey writes in a leaked manuscript that Palin actually argued with some of her staffers about how to correctly pronounce Romney's name.
During her own 2006 campaign for governor, when Romney was chairman of the Republican Governors Association, Bailey writes that Palin didn't seem to know much about the then-Massachusetts governor.
During the campaign for governor, when Romney was in the background of our Republican Governors mess, Sarah didnt even have a clear idea who he was....

This is the kind of 'dirt' that's in this so-called "tell-all" book?! Hahahahaha!
I just call him Willard (his real name), Myth or replace the "M" with an "Sh" but I don't consider those mispronounciations.

Sarah Palin used to pronounce Mitt Romney's name "M-I-L-T."Well, that does it for me. She's clearly not ready for any elected office, or even any paying job.
Y'see.
Because lame-ass stupid stuff like this makes me HATE SARAH PALIN.
Y'see.

"Milt" is a name, "Mitt" is a baseball glove.
If she was worried about him, she'd know how to pronounce it.

She probably thought his name was Milton and Milt was his shortened name.
Not a big deal. He has been called far worse.

“Milt” is also the biological term for the fluid that carries fish sperm to the roe.

“During the campaign for governor, when Romney was in the background of our Republican Governors’ mess, Sarah didn’t even have a clear idea who he was.... That's because he has the power to cloud men's minds so they cannot see him.

I'm finally convinced. This revelation is just ONE TOO FAR.
"Milt", indeed. May Sarah roast in the belly of a giant Slor!

Pollutionco has really had to dig deep in the barrel to be able to find something that will induce the vapors over Sarah Palin. Not a problem.
Payback is coming in '12 when all the lib reporters will have to disclose the daily doings of President Palin. Sweet.

Obviously, anyone who called Mitt "Milt," even when half the country had never heard of him, just isn't presidential material. That's the point of this book, right?

"Milt" instead of "Mitt" will be forever recorded in the annals of a notable word(s) in history, like "Nuts" and "Et tu, Brute".

I remember people mispronounced Palin when she first came on the national scene. They called her Pal-in, instead of Pa-lin

How about MILK?
such as MILK TOAST ROMNEY.
I think when Romney had the falling out with a WHO Talk show Host Jan Mickelson he permanently ruined his chances in Iowa. A huge amount of conservatives in the state listen to, and respect him (Mickelson). Romney came across as a fool .. It won’t be forgotten ...
p.s. I like Beck, but when he jumped on this story without checking it out, I lost some respect for him.
