New word
If nothing else, Sarah Palin's oratory has gifted the English language, or at least the American version of it, with a new word: Palindrone.
It is a noun defined as a seemingly interminable, practically insufferable, desultory, ideological philippic laboriously memorized and regurgitated with revolting perkiness that haphazardly strings together a mixed-up, grammatically confusing jumble of words, near-words, thoughts, near-thoughts and incomplete thoughts that when recited backward vainly spouts the same tried and tired platitudes as when read forward: nothing.

Funny. We also now have Palinisms! By the way, here is a website I found that shares all the Sarah Palin Pictures and supports Barack Obama!
