Jacket Copy has the story on Sarah Palin's Twitter rampage this weekend, in which she raged against the idea of constructing a mosque at Ground Zero and simultaneously created a new word: "Refudiate." She wrote:

Ground Zero Mosque supporters: Doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls. refudiate.

The post was soon deleted and corrected with the words "speak out" replacing "refudiate." Later, Palin acknowledged the mistake with another Twitter post:

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

Considering that Shakespeare wrote plays and sonnets, perhaps Palin should equate herself with the prose stylings of Charles Dickens, instead? Among other words, he is said to have invented "boredom" in Bleak House. Plus: Both of them like crazy names, like Chuzzlewit and Bristol and Pip and Trig. I hope that Palin will correct herself in the future on Twitter; surely, she is a Dickens for our times.
