Sarah Palin follows in W's footsteps with made-up words

Do we really need another politician like George W. Bush?

W was famous for misspeaking and for flat out making up new words like "misunderestimate." Between Tea Party engagements and Tweeting, Sarah Palin must be hanging out in Texas, shooting and taking language lessons from W.

Palin recently Tweeted about a Muslin community center near the site of the Twin Towers in New York City that read "Peaceful Muslims, Pls Refudiate."

When it was brought to her attention that refudiate is not a word, Palin first removed the Tweet then went on to compare herself to Shakespeare saying he like to coin new words too.

Can we raise our standards, people? At least Barack Obama's made up word "wee-wee'd" up is obviously a made up word and the speaker knew it.

    Refudiate is a word used in 1980 in a commission on drug use. Sarah used the word right in her tweet. Again she is way ahead of the competition. Google it.
