Palin compares self to Shakespeare, invents new word, "refudiate"

[spotbird]

No http://palingates.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-much-stupid-can-governor-dumbass.html#disqus_thread">Lie



When the error is pointed out to her, rather than humbly apologize, Palin claims to have invented a new word. She is definitely Republican presidential material. No wonder the neocons pushed so hard for her in '08.

[spotbird]

1. There are Palin supporters here at DU!

This thread has been unrecommended several times.

[tammywammy]

11. I think it's more that people are tired of hearing about her n/t

[spotbird]

15. If they're tired of her now, wait until she is president. nt

[Dorian Gray]

70. It'll

never ever happen.

[mwb970]

2. Well, I like to use old words.

Like "ignorant".

[Cleita]

3. Shakespeare invented words? Who would have thunk.

I find people like Bush and Palin invent words because they don't have the working vocabulary of an eleven year old. Yes, there are times to invent words but you had better have some good literary credentials behind you when you do. For instance, Thom Hartmann, who has written and published many books, coined the word banksters because it is a populist way of saying our present day banking system is criminal and they are performing like loan shark gangsters.

What an arrogantly stupid woman.

[trusty elf]

68. To refudiate or not to refudiate...

[Recursion]

4. Honestly as neologisms go that one's pretty good

I could see using it.

[spotbird]

7. There is already a word, repudiate. nt

[Recursion]

8. And there is already a word, "refute"

And this is a word that carries the sense of both.

[spotbird]

10. In this case it is a neologism as

psychiatrists and neurologists use the term.

neologism- In psychiatry, a new word or condensed combination of several words coined by a person to express a highly complex idea not readily understood by others; seen in schizophrenia and organic mental disorders.

If that's what you mean, we agree.

[REP]

42. It's more of a malapropism; she meant refute (to prove false)

Repudiate means to cast off.

[Recursion]

44. If I had to pick one, she meant repudiate

But, the point is, it carries some of the sense of both.

[spotbird]

45. You think it was intentional? nt

[Recursion]

47. No; typos are how most net neologisms seem to start

And some typos (like "pwn") end up being cool words.

[spotbird]

48. You think it wasn't a typo

but she intentionally created a new word from the outset? Then why delete the original post?

[Recursion]

51. I'm sure it was a typo; I just said that.

It's a typo that ends up being a pretty cool word.

[spotbird]

53. Pardon me. My question was not clear.

Do you think Palin believed refudiate was a word when she first posted it? She has used it aloud many times, but escaped criticism probably because she'd claim she intended repudiate. She lies, as you should know.

[Recursion]

57. No, I think she screwed up the first time

And when people started making fun of her she kept using it because she realizes it pisses us off.

[spotbird]

58. Except that's not what happened

She next tried to use "refute" properly, gave up on that, then pretended she intended it in the first place.

Oh, and you are absolutely wrong that it pisses "us" off. "We're" enjoying every second of her humiliation, while feeling no anger whatsoever.

[704wipes]

62. Can't be a typo, no way, f & p widely separated on a keyboard

reludiate of reudiate might be legitimate typos.


Like she knew Shakespeare invented new words but she didn't know what magazines she read when Katie Couric asked her?

[Recursion]

72. Yes, typos only happen with keys right next to one another

:eyes:

There's an OP here that has "refutiate", but t and d aren't next to each other.

Also, if she was using her phone, it might have autocompleted "refuse" or "refute", and she just kept typing from what it did.

There are probably more misspellings on Twitter daily than there are atoms in the universe. I find this whole broohaha kind of ridiculous.

[ThomThom]

90. you are right it was a thinko

there I can do it too
I made that one up a long ago because it happens to me all the time
"What ever?"

[Ignis]

91. LOL @ "thinko" for typo. Now that's a neologism I can get behind.

:rofl:

[lumberjack_jeff]

76. It might be a cool word if it included a vowel. n/t

[SunnySong]

85. Yeah I hate to say it but that was my reaction too.

As in hey that could be useful....

[CrownPrinceBandar]

5. I have a new word as well...........

"Palin-drome" - (n.) a made-up word used by fake ideologues and politicians that highlight their sheer lack of intellect. These words can be spelled backwards or forwards, but the meaning is the same: ignorant.

[Ozymanithrax]

6. I refudiate her neologismistic indifferentude to dictionariality n/t

[deacon]

73. Me too. n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

9. Oh, goody. I can think of a whole bunch.

"Doofette"...

"Creationitard"

"Uselessitician"

This is fun!

13. Palin's lipschtick is beginning to remind me of Professor Irwin Corey.

[Brother Buzz]

14. Brother Buzz compares Palin to Leo Gorcey

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to understand Sarah Palin is channeling Leo Gorcey.

[Newest Reality]

16. Hoah!

"Wee-wee'd up?" I've never heard that before. Is it Plain-esque for fucked-up? Has anybody pissed something up? I mean pissed-off is one thing ...

I must say I am refudiated by that. She can coin all the words she cares to and whittle new, idiotic phrases, as long as we get to use them to have a ripping good time using them on her.

[Spazito]

46. LOL, that one stopped me cold...

WTF is "wee-wee'd up"? Damn, there is stupid and then there is Palin.

[CTyankee]

74. Actually, Obama used it. He was making a satirical point at one of those WH press

dinners (I think; haven't consulted the google yet) early in his presidency. I also "think" it was in reference to the tea baggers but again, not sure.

The difference of course is that Obama knew he was being satirical and people know that he is well informed and well educated. Palin is just trying to discredit Obama. What else is new? :shrug:

[ThomThom]

80. means she did it while high on weed

doesn't it?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. The Wasilla Chillbillie is a gift that keeps giving.

:rofl:

[icnorth]

18. To misappropriate Shakespear's Macbeth...

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

[Native]

19. Twitter-Dee-Dumb!

[mitchum]

20. He didn't invent it, but Shakespeare was also very familiar with another word that describes Palin

You know the one

[mitchum]

21. That means a wispy mustache is not the only thing she and Shakespeare have in common

interesting

[WhiteTara]

22. she did not coin a new word

she simply misspelled and mispronounced the word "repudiate". She does not get any props from me for her stupidity.

[spotbird]

23. And a smart person would admit her error and go on

A fool pretends it was intentional.

[WhiteTara]

30. Disgusting as well as stupid,

that one. We certainly dodged a bullet with the Palin/McCain ticket.

[spotbird]

32. It's not over yet. She is still a

viable candidate for '12. We're the only ones who think she is too stupid to be elected.

[WhiteTara]

37. she's not as stupid as her followers

but, maybe she will Sharon Angle herself.

[lapislzi]

75. "Repudiate" isn't even the correct word in this context.

The word she's groping for is "refute," or "rebut."

The English language called. It begged her to stop trying to speak it.

[MrScorpio]

24. I make up fake words all the time

I admit it completely without ANY doubtification whatsoever!

[ThomThom]

81. yes we like to make nouns into verbs and verbs into adjectives

sometimes it can be very interesting and informative

[pinboy3niner]

25. To quote Snoopy, Palin's relentless idiocy "warms the cookies of my heart."

Palin keeps shooting herself in the foot, and that's a "Second Amendment remedy" I can get behind. :)

[pschoeb]

26. she sure impalined the heart out of that tweet

nt

[Ross K]

27. So meffry!

Goshevanic, actual!

[stevenleser]

28. I just sent her this Tweet:

@SarahpalinUSA Inspired by your self comparison to Shakespeare, I have the music for you for any personal appearances http://bit.ly/VvfpE

[spotbird]

33. Tell her that Shakespeare doesn't think she is going to heaven.

Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.


William Shakespeare

[ladywnch]

34. perfect selection!!!! n/t

[pinboy3niner]

36. You should have sent her a photo to go with it:

[stevenleser]

38. That is now my Facebook profile picture.

Great! LOL

[pinboy3niner]

69. Thanks to you, actually

I only searched for an image after seeing your post. You came up with such a great "theme song" that it deserved a graphic to go with it. I realy got a kick out of your link. :thumbsup:

[yella_dawg]

29. Dear Sarah,

Jesus Christ! You are such a fucking idiot.


Have Fun,

31. George Bush with a vagina.

Stupid, and proud of it.

[prolesunited]

35. Ignorant and proud of it

just like her supporters.

[HipChick]

39. Yeah, lets give this woman the nuclear codes. What could go possibly wrong?

41. The only scenario where a military coup

is the best of all evils.

40. I refudiate Sarah!

I repudiate her too.

Comparing herself to Shakespeare?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Please!

[Major Hogwash]

43. Sarah is a krossbreaded igtard..

There, I just made up 2 words, so I'm twice as smarter than she is!!

[woo me with science]

49. But can she spell "potato"? nt

[spotbird]

54. I rue the day I laughed at Dan Quayle

The man was a brainiac compared to the moran puppets the Republicans elect now.

[Octafish]

50. Brain like Bush.

Bra like Dolly.

[mzmolly]

52. And, I've coined a new phrase .... "refudiate gate"

;)

[Politicalboi]

55. Aren't we all being mean

Think about it people. All she wants out of life is to become President. Not like it takes a lot of smarts to do so. Just look at Bush. He did it and we are all just doing "swimmingly" LOL!

[HipChick]

59. Timothy McVeigh was christian. Anyone urge the removal of the Churches around

where the OK bombing took place..

[SunnySong]

87. Actually McVeigh was an agnostic... I know you mean well but facts got in the way...nt

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

56. to, fore, sics hate who do we refudiate!

[Rex]

60. Repukes are the only creatures on Earth that celebrate their inherent stupidity

by claiming to be smart.

[Motown_Johnny]

61. ROFL, sure... some authors do coin new words.

Issac Asimov coined "Robotics" for example. (my favorite author)
http://www.robotics.utexas.edu/rrg/learn_more/history/#useRobotics

It was a new word for a new concept.


Creating a contraction of two different words that you don't fully understand doesn't count as creating a new word.


Uneducated people create new words all the time too, that doesn't make them right.

[Vickers]

63. That's a spectaculous word!!! n/t

[CoffeeCat]

64. I heard her say "refudiate" the other day...

...on CNN.

My husband and I got a kick out of it.

Leave it to her, to celebrate the fact that she's a boob.

She acts like she's in junior high.

So, is this her way of saying, "I meant to do that!"

:rofl: :eyes: :rofl: :eyes: :rofl: :eyes: :rofl:

[blogslut]

65. That woman is the epitome of a bad Aquarius

Never ever admits they're wrong.

[jmondine]

67. In that case, the whole Republican party must have been born in February

[Liberal Discourse]

66. THERE SHE GOES AGAIN...

When I saw Sarah was comparing herself to Shakespeare I instantly thought of this...

“Life is a tale told by an idiot -- full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
~ Shakespeare

Sarah, when will you learn, just because you say it doesn't make it so.

[ThomThom]

83. welcome to DU

[HughBeaumont]

88. Much a-Duh About Nothing.

[old mark]

77. She is undoubtedly refering to Eugene Shakespeare, who lives in a rural area

near Wassilla, AK - he likes to make stuff up all the time...

Of course, he is drunk a lot...


mark

[Enrique]

78. Bush made lots of Shakespeares

the Iraq War was his biggest Shakespeare.

Sarah herself was McCain's biggest Shakespeare.

[ThomThom]

79. invents new word??? She just can't spell and doesn't use spell checker.

Like George she has know understanding of the English language and just goes on not caring. New words are being created all the time, mostly in the sciences, but misunderestimate was not one of them.

[KatyMan]

84. It's entirely cromulent

really, it is.
