Mrs Malaprop’s Top 5 Gaffes

We've got Prince Philip with his 'slitty eyed, natives off the booze' gaffes over here. Over there, wearing the crown of cringeworthy comment, is none other than the US’s finest Republican gun-toting, bible-bashing, malappropriate, moose-shootin, botox-filled, lip-plumped uber babe – Sarahlicious yeee haaa, go girl...!

1. "Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate." --a Tweet by Sarah Palin, which she quickly removed after being ridiculed for inventing the word "refudiate," July 18, 2010

2. "Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real." --a second Tweet by Sarah Palin, which she also removed after misusing the word "refute," July 18, 2010

3. "'Refudiate,' 'misunderestimate,' 'wee-wee'd up.' English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!'" --a follow-up Tweet by Sarah Palin, proudly mistaking her illiteracy for literary genius, July 18, 2010

4. "What the federal government should have done is accept the assistance of foreign countries, of entrepreneurial Americans who have had solution that they wanted presented ... The Dutch and the Norwegians, they are known for dikes and for cleaning up water and for dealing with spills." --Sarah Palin, on solving the Gulf oil spill crisis, June 15, 2010

5. "Extreme deep water drilling is not the preferred choice to meet our country's energy needs, but your protests and lawsuits and lies about onshore and shallow water drilling have locked up safer areas. It's catching up with you. The tragic, unprecedented deep water Gulf oil spill proves it." --Sarah Palin, blaming the Gulf oil spill disaster on "extreme environmentalists," Facebook message, June 2, 2010

Thank god Obama got in –heaven help the world if those dumb-ass republicans made it to power! Summed up by a Democrat: “For someone who maybe wants to run the country, to be so careless with her use of language shows an intellectual laziness that is a little bit dangerous.”
