Book: Palin used to mispronounce 'Mitt' (Unintentionally funny)
The Politico ^ | February 22, 2011 | Andy Barr

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 didn’t even have a clear idea who he was....

Oh yeah, this does it.

Sarah, Sarah, we hardly knew ye.

Imagine pronouncing Willard’s name as “Milt”.

Unforgivable. Or Unforgettable.

Wow. This does it.

I’ll crawl over broken glass to vote for this lady.

[ “Milt” is also the biological term for the fluid that carries fish sperm to the roe. / But would Sarah know that?;^) ]

Most people in ALaska knows what "MILT" is.. because this is Salmon country.. Average conversation on a stream bed talking about Salmon while fishing for them.. If you catch a male Salmon there are no eggs in them what you have is milt sacs.. Average convo when posed with the question by a newby.. "where are the eggs?"...

Yes, she would. The moniker she gave Mitt was not a compliment.

Pretty funny.

$10 bucks says she knows how to pronounce Pakistan and corpsman.

And another $10 says she knows how to pronounce Genghis (as in Khan).

Sarah knows a lot more about fish than "Milt"

The book is nothing but a pack of lies. I've seen this tactic before. Make up bogus stories, the MSM picks up the story and viola a new narrative is born....

Jeez. Here we have crucially important events in Wisconsin as regards the future of the Union Communist Movement in America; the Middle East is exploding with radical Islamics sure to ascend to power there; and the nation and states are nearly bankrupt, completely — and people are posting stuff about Sarah Palin dissing Milt

Maybe Mitt changed his name to Milt when he reinvented himself when running for Presient. It would have been easy to mistake “Milt” for someone other than the guy who was the gay agenda-driven, pro-abortion, socialist health care governor of Masachusetts, *Mitt* Romney. lol Bob

This is the kind of 'dirt' that's in this so-called "tell-all" book?!

Any of the real dirt will be censored out here.

The OP is on a slippery slope. If this is true, then the other details coming out would also be true. Selective untruthiness?
