What Jolly said.

Whether she melded the meanings of "gaggle" and "cackle" intentionally or by accident, the double meaning was perfectly clear and accurate, and I think, a witty use of English language.

I suspect she reprehends the true meaning of what she is saying.

Under no definition of the word, can you call Ms. Palin's words a malapropism.

I'll give you "cackle" - but what about "refudiate?"

Not nearly as doubly meaningful or ironically witty. But at least an easily understood collision of two similarly defined words. I've heard much worse. Heck, I've probably *said* much worse.

Oh, I'm sorry, you said Pandemic.

That's true, I've never been in that position. OTOH, I've heard successful candidates for that position say far worse, stupider, and more dangerous to the republic. I'm not a fan of Palin as a presidential candidate, and I find that kind of battery of the English language jarring to the ear. But history has shown that perfect usage of English is not the determining factor for a person's fitness as a leader, and that other attributes are far more important. So while I don't support a presidential bid for her, neither do I support attempts to make her out to be a drooling, mouth-breathing idiot because she occasionally slips grammatically.

I used to work with a guy who made these horrendous gaffes - he'd put things into numetrical order, and once told me, in a very nice restaurant, and within hearing distance of a very snooty German waiter, that the food was really haute couture.

Examples of his pronouncements were pinned up all over the office by the rest of us. The last laugh was of course his - he started his own small business around the time I emigrated and sold it a couple of years later for 1 and a half million pounds.

Dewey - I totally understand, and agree. I'm not in favor of her as a Presidential candidate, nor do I think she's an idiot. I may not agree with many politicians, but I don't think many idiots get to that level. I know it's popular to call all politicians idiots - but whether or Republican or Democrat, I don't think that's the case with most at that level (leading states). Senators on the other hand... well... :)
