I thought it was just Sarah Palin trying but failing miserably to pronounce 'pundit', but Wolf Blitzer just said it, and I've heard loads and loads of, eh, pundits on US television talk about 'pundints'. Am I missing something here - is there such a word? :shrug:

2. As per google "define:pundint" search
Did you mean: define:pundit

No definitions were found for pundint.

Suggestions:

- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Search the Web for documents that contain "pundint"

3. You are correct...
Those who say "pundint" are wrong. Pundit is a real word; pundint is not. Even DU's spell checker knows;)

9. I love how Pat Buchannan referred to Sarah as "The NASCAR Queen" tonight on Hardball.
I dont think I'll ever hear a better description of that woman.
