Sarah Palin & The English Language: Another Swing-and-a-Miss

By Johnny Wright - National Correspondent
Oh boy. Above you’ll see another attempt by Sarah Palin to make a deep thought. It’s bad enough that she writes like a 14-year-old, using “2” instead of “to” — that’s a one letter difference! You’re not saving any time! Write like an adult! — but again wildly missing a correct word is getting ridiculous.
Remember, Miss Mama Grizzly used the non-word “refudiate” just a couple weeks ago. Then said she was like Shakespeare, expanding the English language.
The bit in question is “a cackle of rads.” Let’s assume that “rad” is short for radicals. I think. She could mean really tubular BMX riders. Those kids are rad. But “cackle?” I don’t know what is going on there. Translated literally, the phrase is “a shrill cry of bitchin’ skateboarders…”
Could she be trying to use the word “gaggle?” Maybe. But we’ve learned not to give the half-governor that has made it an art to be “just like you” the benefit of the doubt. Sadly, she is just dumb. Stick-a-fork-in-a-light-socket stupid.
It’s becoming to pathetic too even cackle about.
