It's not an Onion article. It's true.
Heres how the ultraconservative news site NewsMax.com described Sarah Palins Monday night criticism of President Obamas address to the nation:
Are we at war? I havent heard the president say that we are at war. And thats why I too [dont know] do we use the term intervention, do we use war, do we use skirmish?
Problem is, thats not quite what Ms. Palin said. What she actually said on Fox News was, [D]o we use the term intervention, do we use war, do we use squirmish?
Squirmish! I love it.
The Palininstas out there will point out that Obama (like everyone else) occasionally fractures the language but the lamestream media doesnt pounce on that, and by the way squirmish appears in the Urban Dictionary, and everyone knows what Palin meant and why are we focusing on a simple slip of the tongue instead of the worst president in history and blah-de-blah, but come on: squirmish is fantastic. In fact Im thinking it SHOULD be a word.
Its a perfect description of ones hesitancy to get into a dispute over an awkward situation. I dont want to get into a squirmish with my kid about his latest Facebook posting. My boss overheard me dissing him. Boy did that lead to a squirmish.
Well played, Sarah Palin. Well played.
