partly yes and partly no... I don't agree that what she did raised linguists' eyebrows (i.e. in the sense of disapproval a na krub). If anything, Palin's word may have come to them as a surprise---first time they have heard of such usage, but linguists are well aware of novel linguistic innovations and trends in language change. On the other hand, I agree that English is a living language, and it is bound to change (new words get added; old words get dropped or change their meanings or change their grammatical categories, etc). In many cases, what originates as a non-standard term may end up being a standard one used by educated speakers, such as "reiterate", "guesstimate", "burglar", "edit", "chemist", etc. If a term is adopted by a group of speakers and that acceptance spreads, then it becomes the standard/correct form later on. In this case, do we have problems only because the person who uses it is Palin (or Bush)? If so, that prejudice doesn't have a linguistic basis, and should be revisited...
