Palin's Twitter Meltdown

by AnnetteK

Sorry folks, had to do this one.

Can barely type for tears of laughter.

Silly Sarah just had to insert herself into the furore surrounding the proposed new mosque near Ground Zero in New York.

Well. it all went tits up for her, big time.

Follow me..................

First she tweeted this

Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn’t it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate

Then someone with slightly more knowledge of the English language must have had a word because that tweet was 'tweleted' (see, we can all make words up).

It was replaced with this

Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real

Um, Sarah?, still not quite right

Updated with this

Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing

The usual suspects are having a ball

@SarahPalinUSA Please repudiate, refudiate, repoofiate, reloofaiate, or just apologize for, your religious intolerance

...So, Sarah got a bit hacked off with the mockery (you'd think she would be used to it by now).............

so she tweets this...

Refudiate," "misunderestimate," "wee-wee'd up." English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!

Palingates has an hilarious article up, apparently tweetland is afire

http://palingates.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-much-stupid-can-governor-dumbass.html

So has Wonkette, LGF, I'm told Huffpost. Why should we not get in the fun?

Update:It should be pointed out (again) that the "Ground Zero mosque" these idiots are ranting about is actually a proposed community center with an auditorium, swimming pool, and restaurants, in addition to a mosque. It would be housed in an existing 13-story building that’s two blocks away from Ground Zero and has no view of the area; there are two very big buildings in between the proposed community center and Ground Zero.

OMG!

From the comments at Daily Kos:

Roger Ebert had a zinger:

Urgent to @SarahPalinUSA: Shakespeare would rather have died than "coin" the meaningless non-word "misunderestimate."

:rofl:

[napi21]

1. Gotta love Ebert! Best ptdown of the night! nt

[vanbean]

100. I think it is unrefudiable that Sarah bathes in dihydrogen monoxide.

And I'm sure she will denify that she drinks it too.

I think this will be in the "Get a brain, morans" class.

[babylonsister]

2. Oooh, doggies! Stupidpalingate! nt

[canetoad]

87. I think the qwitter meant

Refujectidate :hi:

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. Did the un-essence of Bush* somehow migrate into Flailin'??

Kind of some sort of Harry Potter-esque, death eater soul transmission thing? She is just Dubya's idiotic doppleganger of sorts?

[onehandle]

4. Sarah, stay away from written words and stick with base and racist stump speeches. nt

[localroger]

5. Nil by mouth now, Roger

But your keyboard still has fire. From another Roger, Salut.

[jberryhill]

6. To be fair - she writes in idiotic pentameter. /nt

[mitchum]

22. I really did laugh out loud

that's good:)

[OneGrassRoot]

33. +1000. Me, too!

Much appreciated! :hi:

[enuegii]

24. Not pentameter: that would be devil tweet--

Hexameter would be right out, too.

Idiotic monometer would be more her speed.

[MsPithy]

72. Ding! Ding! Ding!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!

[rurallib]

57. a bonny mote if ever there was one.

[nolabear]

61. Laugh of the month! I will not refupumumuwhoopdeedoodiate that!

[unpossibles]

67. brilliant

and so sad that she defends her abuse of the language with a Bushism.

As Bugs Bunny used to say, "what a maroon"

[louis-t]

68. Ohhh, that's good.

:rofl:

[Yavin4]

92. Funniest Post of the Year

You made my day. Thank you.

[AtheistCrusader]

64. I loved that. Slam Sara and Billow at the same time.

[Top Cat]

8. I've been on twitter all day slamming sister Sarah....

Everytime she post something new today more slamming it has been a Palin day over at Twitter for sure.

[SeattleGirl]

10. I love slamming Sister Sarah.

One of my favorite pastimes on Twitter, and she makes it so easy to do!

[Top Cat]

15. Yes she does.... This has been a really fun day twitter day!!!

[blueredneck]

14. been there, too.

Haven't been able to pull myself away from all the palinasshakespeare quotes. OMG. So funny!

[Top Cat]

16. neither have I.... So funny

[DeschutesRiver]

9. That Ebert quote was priceless.

But the that palingates link had me smiling. I am glad to see that there are still signs of intelligent life in the universe - somebody needed to counteract the idiot act that is Sarah's speciality.

Going to see if I can find more on twitter.com.

[BootinUp]

11. Ebert is such a gift.

lol.

[AlbertCat]

55. Ebert is such a gift.

Indeed.


And La Sarah couldn't tell Shakespeare from McKuen.

[slay]

12. I love this comment:

:rofl:

[Top Cat]

17. I saw that I'm still laughing....

[slay]

13. It seems spelling is like Kryptonite to conservatives

well that and logic, reason, facts, equality, compassion, - all foreign to a modern conservative. :P

[Alcibiades]

18. Palin compared herself to Shakespeare

OH MY GOD.

[Tsiyu]

[DirkGently]

52. Classic. Thanks for that. nt

[Plucketeer]

62. What's the difference between Bard and Broad?

OH, I don't know! :rofl:

[florida08]

82. omg!

:fistbump:

[Xipe Totec]

106. Alas, poor Sarah!

I knew her, Horatio, a twit of little wit, and fewer sense.
She hath bored me to death a thousand times,
and now how refudiated in my imagination she is!
My gorge rises at it.

[MrMickeysMom]

97. Maybe she meant, "Shit Spear"?

:hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts: :hurts:

19. Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself,

And falls on Twitter.

[Metric System]

20. I never know whether to laugh or cry when it comes to Simple Sarah.

[tammywammy]

21. SOCOACH "Refudiate"? You should run for "precedent"!

LOL :rofl:

[ejpoeta]

38. good one. love it.

[MsPithy]

74. Thanks tammywammy!

Another great comment! This might be the greatest thread ever!

[Jennicut]

23. It is all simple, she speaks and tweets in Palinese, her own idiotic language.

[enuegii]

25. Wait a bit, though--

Didn't she call on Obama to "refudiate" the NAACP just a couple of days ago? I'm pretty sure she caught hell for it then, and now she does the same damn thing again while claiming to be a wordsmith on par with Shakespeare?

Well, tweeting is hard work, I guess. She needs to take her ass back to Alaska and go on a nice, long, relaxing snipe hunt in bear country.

[The Green Manalishi]

73. "refudiate"

Actually, that's kinda a cool word. I'll bet it has legs.

[bobburgster]

84. I believe...

it is something between the legs.

[Vicar In A Tutu]

26. But please never forget...

...never, ever forget Bush. I mean, I know you cannot but still. Never forget that he served as President for eight years. Being a lockjawed, thicker than pigshit disaster zone doesn't preclude you from garnering the support of millions. Indeed, for many it seems to be a preference. "Vote for the imbecile, intelligence is ba---uhhhd!!!".

This sort of incident might actually increase Palin's chances of being elected Catastrophe-In-Chief and rendering the office of President effectively meaningless - no more valuable than a little trinket you might get for swimming five metres - for the rest of time.

[Drunken Irishman]

28. IF you have Twitter and you're not following Roger Ebert, you're missing out!

http://twitter.com/ebertchicago

@SarahPalinUSA: I know what "wee-wee" means, but how can one be "wee-wee'd up?" The opposite of "pissed off?" No, wait...

[Mad_Dem_X]

42. I should sign up for Twitter just for Ebert! n/t

[flamingdem]

53. Thanks DI was just about to look for that nt

[shireen]

103. i just checked it, and almost choked!

This tweet:

RT @Perrspectives: Cut @SarahPalinUSA a break for saying "refudiate." It's just her self-defecating humor.

29. I love the "Dear Sarah Palin, the Univ of Idaho just called. They want their diploma back." lol

[glowing]

30. And the "Sarah Palin you're pathetic. You win the next election. I'm killing myself.

OR "Gotta hand it to Sarah Palin. Didnt' think we could find anybody more ignorant and illiterate than W Bush. Bravo!"

[Enthusiast]

32. Don't kill yourself.

You'll miss out on all the new words!

[Bette Noir]

90. I followed the link DI kindly provided, above,

and found something Ebert retweeted from someone else:

Cut Sarah Palin a break for saying "refudiate." It's just her self-defecating humor.

[Scurrilous]

31. LOL

:thumbsup:

[Inspired]

34. Another Twitter gem....

"Sarah Palin used "refudiate" in a sentence. I think she needs to studiate her vocabulade before she pontifitalks on the televade."

[SemperEadem]

35. @ebertchicago is one of the best twitter-ers on twitter

I follow him... he's amazing.

[lame54]

36. yet she wont "refudiate" the racists in her own tea party

[mwb970]

37. What kind of serious "leader" communicates by "tweeting"?

$illy $arah is such a joke. Trouble is, most of us stopped laughing long ago.

[JTFrog]

39. Look it up in the fictionary!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andy-borowitz/palin-says-refudiate-appe_b_650841.html

WASILLA (The Borowitz Report) - Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today defended her use of the word "refudiate," telling her critics, "Look it up in the fictionary."

While claiming that "refudiate" is a real word, she reserved her right to make up new words in the future.

"Everyone makes up words - Shakespeare, George W. Bush, Levi Johnston," she said. "The only person I know who doesn't do it is my husband Todd, who doesn't speak."

Gov. Palin also lashed out at those who criticized her use of the word "refudiate," calling them "incohecent."

[BootinUp]

44. incohecent, bwaaahhaaaahaaa

Borowitz is hilarious.

[Scurrilous]

94. LOL

:thumbsup:

[JHB]

40. Dear SarahTwit:

Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real

If you want to dredge up that raw, real catastophic pain caused on, just keep up using it to score cheap political points, missy. How many places you used to go to to work or shop or just get your coffee and eggs in the morning got turned into a smoking hole in the ground. How many of your friends and neighbors died there? How many places in Wasilla were filled with missing persons posters for weeks in desparate hope that there was some other reason they were missing?

It's not a toy. Don't play with it.

[handmade34]

69. !!!

[JHB]

79. Yeah, there's some things I don't really have a sense of humor about...

...and using Ground Zero (badly) to score political cheap shots is one of them.
Especially with people who simultaneously play the "heartland" card (as if NYC isn't a "real" part of this country).

[orbitalman]

41. Priceless!!! nt

[anachro1]

43. Sarah has the power

to make stupid people heard.

[demwing]

45. Did you ever wonder why Repubs so often push for "English Only"?

I get it now! Clearly, one language is more than enough (and perhaps a little too much) for their limited IQs.

[rocktivity]

46. In case you need your memory refreshed:

Here's what happened the last time Sarah over-tweeted.

:headbang:

47. Palin educated in charter schools

It's obvious to me now.

[MadMaddie]

49. It's just a matter of time before Failen Palin quits Twitter because

it's too much hard work...

Waiting....

[iamthebandfanman]

50. making a new word is different

from writing the wrong word.

lol.

if you attempt to use an actual word, and you fail, you werent making a new word... ur just a moron. lol.

[JaneFordA]

51. When Palin does this...

... it should NOT be referred to as a "tweet," but as a TWIT. ;-)

[hatrack]

54. "It stabs hearts" - are you kidding me? Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Whatever you're doing, if "it stabs hearts" you should stop it - NOW!

59. Input from English 101 Teacher

OK, maybe I don't teach it now but I have in the past and that makes me an expert on bad writing.

I must say that I gasped as I read her various revisions. I don't think I've had a student who had that much trouble in the past 15 years.

It is astonishing to me that she couldn't have polished that sentence in a notepad before dashing it off. The fact that she didn't even think to do so--indeed, that she doesn't even care enough to do so--says volumes.

And to think, on television (McLaughlin Report) Sunday they claimed that she was neck-and-neck with Obama in the polls.

86. Psycho Sarah

speaks in a language that has its origins somewhere between Esperanto and Tralfamadorian with a touch of the native language of Remulak.

[theothersnippywshrub]

60. Will no one rid me of this troublesome lipschtick? n/t

[ladywnch]

63. No, Sarah you're not in the same league as Shakespeare.....you're

more in the same league as W......strategerize, neuclular, etc. Yes, he didn't know the language any better than you do.....you might not want to push the "English as the National Language" meme since you don't know much English yourself!

[HipChick]

65. Doesn't she know how to use predictive text on her blackberry? or is she just that dumb?

[livetohike]

66. Palin, like a five year old, has an excuse for everything and

this time she is excusing her ignorance of the English language. Nice try arrogant, obnoxious, emotionally stunted half-Governor. You're a great role model for those people aspiring to stay stuck in the seventh grade mentally and emotionally.

Grow up.

[obxhead]

70. It's spread like a virus too...

Just google the one "word" refudiate.

85. How DARE Stupid Sarah tell New Yorkers what to think?

As a native New Yorker, it makes me furious that this uneducated twit has the nerve to talk about people feeling "stabbed in the heart". "it is too raw" etc. For whom? If the familes want to speak, that is one thing but New Yorkers themselves went back to work PDQ and sold souvenir shirts within days. This isn't to be callous but I am damn sick and tired about her stealing the tradedy that befell NY and trying to attach herself to it for politcal gain. And her daring to speak for NYis completely disgusting. New York will decide for itself what it wants and has no need for imput from that asshole. New York is NOT her city. Go back to Wasilla.

[JHB]

89. +1

See post #40 above.
