7. you would be perfectly cromulant in assuming so

[HopeHoops]

9. I'm not sure which is worse, that she used "verbage" or would have meant "verbiage"

On the plus side, either would be a decent description of the hot air coming out of the McCain campaign.

Yes, Caribou Barbie, Obama WAS attacking John McCain's 'verbage' for the GARBAGE it was!

[Wetzelbill]

17. that's awesome

[progdonkey]

11. and she said it twice!

so it wasn't just a one-time mess-up: she obviously has no clue there's a whole other syllabable in there.

And I bet she and her friends love to complain how the immigrants can't speak English (hell, it's one of the cornerstones of their Party).

[Plucketeer]

12. Maybe she meant to say...

...garbiage! :dunce:

[SKKY]

13. They're soooooo cute at this age, aren't they?

Trying to use "big person" words and all!

14. Her use of the word "that" before most of her nouns is quite distracting.

"that" bridge, "that" committment, "that", "that", "that"

Pathetic.

[CitizenPatriot]

15. Please add VERBAGE to FREEP dick (tionary)

I thought she was referring to herself for a moment, Verbiage being an insulting term usually meant to disparage needlessly wordy prose-- but then I realized she was speaking FREEP.

VERBAGE: FREEP for: to change the meaning of words post-spoken; i.e., "fundamentals of the economy..." "lipstick on a pig" etc.

16. Bad English is why the American People did not elect Bush.

verbage /ver'b*j/ n. A deliberate misspelling and mispronunciation of verbiage that assimilates it to the word `garbage'.

[CitizenPatriot]

18. oh, now...you know he wasn't elected!

I am sure the FREEP base, known for their great wit and love of the pun, super appreciated her deliberate mispronunciation of the word! :-) If only they knew she had called his words garbage.

Now, if they didn't hate the french so, this could be sort of semi-attractive with a french accent. "His garbage...."

can't put lipstick on that garbage.

[L. Coyote]

22. Even when she speaks "unscripted", it appears she is just reciting her lines

24. loss of eye contact - she's concentrating on "recalling" her lines, imo. n/t

[L. Coyote]

28. If it's not one one of the 4 x 6 cards, she can't say it, except when
