Some of you may remember Sarah Palin from the 2008 election, where she served as John McCain's VP running mate, from Tina Fey's great impressions of the former Alaska governor on Saturday Night Live, or simply as the crazy woman who claimed she could see Alaska from her backyard. But do you remember when she said this?
1. “Refudiate.”
Someone get me a dictionary.
2. "'Refudiate,' 'misunderestimate,' 'wee-wee'd up.' English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!"
Just kidding- someone get me a computer so I can finally publish the language I invented when I was six.
3. "I think on a national level your Department of Law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out."
She likes to make up government departments too.
4. “It seems like, and in our last rally too, and in other parts around this great Northwest, here in New Hampshire, ya just get it.”
Wait a second…. *checks map*
5. “If I were Obama I’d put all 11 million of these folks on boats and send them back to Mexico.”
*checks map and definition of the word boat*
6. “The long voyage back across the Mexican Ocean should give them plenty of time to think about how they shouldn’t be coming here to America and jeopardizing our freedom and prosperity by breaking our laws.”
*continues to search map for this so-called Mexican Ocean*
7. "They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan."
SOMEONE BUY THIS WOMAN A MAP.
8. On accusations of calling Africa a country:
“So we discussed what was going on in Africa. And never, ever did I talk about, Well, gee, is it a country or is it a continent, I just don’t know about this issue.”
There is nothing better than fighting ignorance with ignorance.
9. On negative media coverage: “A violation of our freedom of press!”
I may be going to jail for writing this article.
10. “As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?”
Comforting.
11. “I love that smell of the emissions.”
I feel like this explains a lot.
In conclusion, in case Sarah Palin does decide to make a “comeback,” be prepared to disregard whatever she says in order to preserve your IQ levels, because when it comes to being wrong grammatically, geographically, morally, and in every other way possible, Sarah Palin gives no f***s:
“Hey, the more they’re pouring it on, the more I’m going to bug the crap out of them by being out there, with a voice, with the message, Hopefully running for office in the future too … Bless their hearts, those haters out there.”
