Sarah Palin Coins New Word: Squirmish

"Discussing the situation in Libya with Fox News's Greta Van Susteren, foreign policy expert and noted wordsmith Sarah Palin said, 'I haven't heard the president state that we're at war. That's why I too am not knowing -- do we use the term intervention? Do we use war? Do we use squirmish? What is it?'" Read More

Sarah Palin prepares for a foreign policy debate by going to her travel agency, and reading travel brochures. But how do you prepare to debate a politician with a penchant for coining words and spouting non-sequiturs?

Sarah Palin's made up term "refudiate" was named top word of the year by the New Oxford American Dictionary. Don't be surprised if within a few weeks Robert Gates and Mike Mullen will be referring to the American intervention in Libya as a "squirmish."

Palin's saving grace is that she is so cute; I would love to squirmish her. In this context "squirmish" conjures sexy-time action.
