On Palin's crappy unreality show yesterday the Grizzled Mama tried to engage in a little revisionist history by claiming that she had accidentally tweeted the word "refudiate" when she had "accidentally" hit the "f" instead of the "p" and that "repudiate" was really what she was trying to tweet.
Speaking of cell phones, in the car Sarah follows by BlackBerry the aftermath of her "refudiate" mis-Tweet (which she says happened when she "pressed an ‘f' instead of a ‘p'"). She makes a disgusted-sounding noise as she tells the story. "Now we're saying ‘No no no no no! The English language is a moving, breathing, evolving art," she says in a mock-artistic-sounding voice that seems to indicate she thinks this is a namby-pamby response to the kind of thing that will inevitably happen to someone who issues public communications without running them by an editor.
See? Sarah's not such a dipshit, she just hit the wrong letter. That could happen to ANYBODY.
Except, that is not exactly how things happened.
You see the FIRST time we heard Sarah use this word it was NOT on Twitter. No, no it was on July 14, on Sean Hannity's show. You can see for yourselves in the video below. (The word appears around 2:35 in the video.)
In fact I even wrote about it the very next day.
It was a few days LATER that Palin then used the word on Twitter.
Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate
Which my friend Geoffrey Dunn called her out on with an article he wrote on Huffington Post.
So that was TWICE Palin used the word, only THIS time it received much more media attention so Palin's people convinced her to act like she did it intentionally.
"Refudiate," "misunderestimate," "wee-wee'd up." English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!

So as you can see Sister Sarah used "refudiate" more than once, and seemed in fact to be very comfortable using it as if she had NO idea that she was using the wrong word. In fact I would bet big money that if somebody were to interview one of her family members in a weak moment they might admit that Sarah had been using the wrong word for years.
So nice try Snowdrift Snooki, but you keep forgetting that MOST Americans are not as ignorant and easy to fool as the people who support you, buy your stupid books, and believe your reality show is anything more than an eight part political advertisement.
You see we don't write notes with paper and "pretty little pencils" made from trees. We use this thing called the "internet" which keeps track of every stupid and ridiculous thing you say, so that we can dig it up and throw it right back in your face. Which we have just done.
Don't you just hate us?
