Palin's odd and repetitious use of certain verbs
Edited on Wed Nov-12-08 10:16 PM by nixonwasbetterthanW
Today's CNN interview reminds me that she has an extraordinarily limited vocabulary. At times she seems to have about a dozen verbs total in her arsenal, many of them just plain peculiar:

* Shorin' up (our industries, occasionally via what she calls "bellouts," which I think means "bailouts")
* Usherin' in (solutions, a new presidential administration, etc.)
* Progress (yes, she's now using this as a transitive verb, as in "let's progress this nation")
* Impacting (on the future of America)
* Not lookin' backwards (to the campaign, even though she's happy to reassert her "concern" about the Bill Ayers connection)

8. I Feel Great Pity for Sarah Palin, and Anybody Who Has To Deal With Her For Even a Minute
Sarah, because she's obviously incapable, and everybody else, because they have to deal with it.

13. I saw a quote from her where she used "let's progress this nation" or something like it.
Nobody in their right mind talks that way.

17. DU needs a "Tell a classic joke as Sarah Palin would" competition.

Anyone interested?
