Interesting. On last night’s episode of Sarah Palin’s Alaska, Palin said her invention of the word “refudiate” was the result of a simple typo in a Tweet from her Blackberry. Sounds simple and innocent enough.
But…
Before posting the word on her Twitter account, Palin verbally used the word on Fox News’ Hannity while talking about the NAACP’s war on the Tea Party movement. Here’s the video:
So she made up the word prior to her Tweet. She said it on Hannity and didn’t correct herself. She apparently thought the word was correct. It wasn’t the result of a typo from her Blackberry but prior ignorance.
This really isn’t helping, um, refudiate the public’s perception of Palin.
