The Alice Sarah Palin: The Creator

There are few celebrities who command attention as does Sarah Palin, know principally as The Alice of the Tea Party of Wonderland.  She has seen great distances and traveled far.  She has single-handedly helped to nearly elect many.

But she is now credited as the poster pinupfore in the dimly remembered cause of "If You Won't Go Back to Hispania, Learn Some Frakin' English!"

It is unfair, of course, to misreprobate The Alice for this creationism, but she has disappointed, too.

Flexicoining, The Alice called for New Yorkers to refudiate the implantationing of the Very Spanish-sounding Cordoba Center.  She was zeroing in on the plan to build a cheerful Islamist Shrine and Yoga Bar pretty much where the twin towers of the World Trade Center were once knocked down by... well...  some bad guys of irrelevant faiths.

The Alice has brought mockery upon a more noble crusade:  To create words as if she were a god.  Or at least, as she Twittated, Shakespeare.

Forget the whole Allahu Akbar and a Few Laps in Our Face thing, this word creation is creating, itself, a mighty stirrup.  There is even a whole new world in Twitteria, @ShakesPalin, to populate with repurposed and prepositioned Shakespearean doublet cuff-offs.

It is a sad misdirection, for The Alice is, by her very nature, the Queenessence of the newly concocted.  Who but Lewis Carroll himself reimbued English with words from nowhere but Wonderland.  The great Jabberwocky is a poem that the Bard himself could never match in quilling words that had never even been declined in Latin.

The Jabberwock's poem was an original part of The Alice's Odyssey, "Through the Looking Glass and What [The]Alice Found There".  Has she forgotten her Wonderland heritage?  Is The Alice so busy velcoring syllables together for Tea Party retweettating that she can not refer to the nearly limitlessness of her birthright?

Worse, Twitteria has missed this as well.  The Twiterians seem so bespeckeled by The Alice's own Shakespearean insight that they, too, forget her most libertarian literary running--and jawing--mate.

Perhaps, we can take heart, though, as the Jabberwock itself did not make it to the end of its own story even if the Jabbertalky did.
