Sarah Palin’s anti-Muslim Tweet, now deleted, used a word she continues to defend, “refudiate.” It’s a cute conflation of “refute” and “repudiate,” and if Ms. Palin would just acknowledge that, all would be forgiven. Instead, Palin insists she has coined a new word, just like Shakespeare did. (h/t Crooks and Liars)

Perhaps, as rumproast hints, Palin can follow in the footsteps of the great Norm Crosby.
