Sarah Palin has taken a lot of heat for coining the word "refudiate" recently. She was also ridiculed for citing Shakespeare's coining of words.
I think it would be more appropriate to compare her to Lewis Carroll, whose word Jabberwocky gave us the verb "chortle" (a cross between a chuckle and a snort).
We already know that Palin is a poet at heart. Her tweets have been called "Alaskan beat poetry" and recited by Emmy-award winning thespian (and former Shakespearean actor) William Shatner.
There are plenty of reasons to criticize Sarah Palin's statements. Her inventive language, however, should not be the focus of criticism.

Sarah Palin and THE DECIDER will always be regarded as pioneers in the use of the English language.
