Just when I thought the Republican leadership race couldn't possibly get goofier, Trump rolls out whiney Sarah Palin to endorse him ... the person who is most likely why John McCain lost. Har, har, har ... please stop ... har, har, har ...
They're only 'mystifying' until you realize that they're the ravings of a lunatic describing the character and behavior of a congener.
However, as a linguist, I must say I enjoy Palin's inadvertent neologisms (such as the portmanteau squirmish). Lewis Carroll she ain't, so most (if not all) of her coinages are merely slips of the tongue/mind. Credit where it's due.
