The GOP has added another dazzling word to it's odd vernacular.

::::::::

Have any of you noticed how often both Sarah Palin and her lesser known running mate John McCain have been saying "pundint" instead of "pundit"?

Now I'm a hick from Montana and I fully confess to saying "nukular" probably more often than I say "nuclear" but this is ridiculous. It seems knowing how to talk has become a lost art these days.

I have come to terms with my own battles with "nukular." But Mercka, I will not stand fer the butcher of the word "Pundit" by all those folks down in Warshington DC.

So yeah, it's "pundit" not "pundint."

 Get a brain, moran!
