"A nice little portmanteau"

From online source:

"I'm no Palin fan, but I love new words."

"It's a nice little portmanteau, and I have no reason to believe she's not witty enough to enjoyed coming up with it."

"It's the kind of thing one might even create with a typo or a misspeak, but that's how creation happens, and I like it."

"It works, too, unlike a simple bungled or garbled usage."

"Yes, I have "misunderestimate" in mind. Also funny, but I doubt its intentionality much more."
