Thank God For Sarah Palin's Picks! (Good News For Democrats)

The National Tea Party Federation has expelled Mark Williams and his Tea Party Express, says a Federation spokesman. Williams was expelled from the Tea Party movement for his racist "letter" to Lincoln -- which according to CNN read:

"Dear Mr. Lincoln," began the fictional letter posted by Williams. "We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!"

Meanwhile according to the New York Times Sarah Palin is very busy endorsing more and more far right Republicans to run in the next election. This is good news.

Many of "her" candidates are people like Williams, extremists tight with the "Tea Party" not to mention the far right of the evangelical movement. They'll be shaming her, the Republicans and the nation. Just wait. Pray Palin's picks all win in the Republican primaries!

Sarah Palin and. "Refudiate". Accidental Or On Purpose?

I sort of feel sorry for Sarah Palin. She's done it again! On the other hand it seems to me that every few weeks she does something - or says something that plops her right back in the news again. Is she doing it on purpose? Is this her way of staying in front of the media so that no-one forgets her by 2012? Maybe!

When I read this article in the USA Today Blog, I felt sorry for her at first, but then I started to wonder - - accidental slip of the tongue or on purpose? What do you think?

Sarah Palin, political language, and 'refudiate'

The political word of the moment: "refudiate."

That's the "word" Sarah Palin initially used in a Sunday message on Twitter asking New Yorkers to oppose a mosque near the site of the 9/11 attacks.

Palin later amended her tweet to say, "peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real."

But, by that time, refudiate had entered the new political lexicon.

It got to the point where Palin sent out another tweet more or less joking about her new word -- and citing other unusual coinages by two presidents: George W. Bush ("misunderstimate") and Barack Obama ("wee-wee'd up").

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

Maybe .. Comparing herself to Shakespeare may really be a bit much!
