1. How about 'mediums' as a plural of medium.
Palin says she didn't need a passport because she read books about the world and use various 'mediums' to learn about the world.

and talking in tongues about those foreign countries.

3. It's more like Noo-kyoo-ler. And that's their fake folksy thing.
They'd say it was elitist to pronounce things well.

The Kennebunkport Cowboys teach themselves to say Eye-rack and Noo-kyoo-ler, so they can be ready to talk to the little people. What their new convert Lady Rothschild says are rednecks and such.

Country Club First !

4. It has always bothered me that we cannot have a consensus about how Iraq is pronounced
since we are in a war there. The "Eye-Rack" pronunciation just sounds plain ignorant to me (like "Eye-talians"). One of my local tv stations does not even have a consensus among their news anchors how to pronounce it. I'll be honest, though--Bush pronounces this one properly which is amazing.

8. education
Yes, they may have been coached. But it might also be this.


Comparison:

Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a
specialization in
international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

& Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in
political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

vs.

McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 out of 899
(meaning that, like George Bush, McCain was at the bottom of his class)

Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters -
Journalism Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism
