#ShakesPalin

Sarah, during an interview on Fox, compressed "refute" and "repudiate" into "refudiate".  Easily done when speaking in public (or anywhere).  Some people jumped on it so Sarah defended herself by saying that the English language is a living thing (true) and that Shakespeare used to make up words (true, albeit on purpose).

So here's where the fun begins.  Twitter has gone berserk with this, and has produced a very entertaining and TZ-like thread (or whatever the fuck they call shit on there).  Enjoy.

But soft, what light from yonder window breaks? It is the East, and I can see Russia from my front porch.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

First, Thank God.  Because when I clicked on this, I first thought that we had finally sunk to making fun of a child with Down's Syndrome, and then I was going to have to find a way to destroy the Internet.

But since we are just having fun at the governor's expense:

Shall I compare thee to Summer's Eve?
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Sarah is so stupid she thought her son was a Navy corpse man instead of an Army soldier.
