    THE DANGERS OF REFUDIATION

    Sarah Palin, never a stranger to controversy, decided to weigh in on the one raging over the plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero -- that is, a mosque and community center two blocks north of where the Twin Towers used to stand. In the midst of it, she managed to insult Muslims, those who aren't but still support the mosque and lay a George W. Bush-level malapropism on the masses. She's a multitasker.

    Her Tweet, issued at 1:52 pm ET on Sunday (and pictured to the left) read:

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

    I had no idea that Sarah went to Yale like George W. Bush.

    I recall the days when judgement was spelled with an extra 'e'. When I was growing up, employee had two 'e's at the end; then the extra 'e' was dropped and now it's back in again.

    But today new words are being created almost daily.

    I present a few of my own and ask that everyone jump in and give us some new vocabularizations of your own.

    With George W. Bush away from the cameras, Sarah Palin gives us all new impetus to carry on his tradition.
