Planks. In the. Platform… PLANKS!

Andrea — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:10:06 +0000

The material in this Palintone is all from one source, a telephone interview Dr. James Dobson conducted with Palin on his “Focus on the Family” show on October 22. Here are Palin’s seven utterances of “planks,” found within a two-minute segment in the interview and in response to Dobson’s mention that the Republican platform is the most pro-life it’s ever been. What does she mean. By that word. That word, “planks.”

She sure is.

Joe the Plumber

There’s really nothing left to say.
Except maybe, “Ed the Dairyman.”

Alaska!

Andrea — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 17:46:44 +0000

Official count of utterances of “Alaska” by Palin at VP debate: six. But how many did it feel like?

I’m Readin’ on My Starbucks Mocha Cup

Andrea — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 07:25:49 +0000

The famous misquote of Albright in which Palin instantiates the word “support” for the word “help.” For us, though, it’s all about the mocha cup. For me, it’s the musicality of “mocha cup.” For Betsy, in her own words, “it’s the fact that Palin cites the paper mocha cup.”

“Let’s see what a comment like I just made, how that is turned into whatever it’ll be turned into…”

Maverick!

Andrea — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 07:03:15 +0000

Six utterances of “maverick” by Palin at VP debate. Felt like at least five too many.

What is a “maverick“?
And Biden said it nine times.

Nucular!

Andrea — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 07:02:32 +0000

Eleven utterances of “nucular” at the VP debate.

Linguist Steven Pinker defends Palin’s use of “nucular.” Linguist Geoff Nunberg doesn’t.
