This is a good one. Always searching for some kind of way to reverse the “War on Women” meme (because they know it’s so deadly accurate), the National Review tries to make something out of Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus’s statement that Sarah Palin has “a tart approach.”

Of course, it couldn’t be more obvious that Marcus was using the word like this:

tart ³ |tärt|
adjective
sharp or acid in taste: a tart apple.
• (of a remark or tone of voice) cutting, bitter, or sarcastic: I bit back a tart reply.

But with Sarah Palin’s boob jokes and double entendres, I guess I see why the National Review’s Andrew Johnson thought she meant this (even though it’s a noun, not an adjective):

tart ² |tärt|
noun (informal, derogatory)
a prostitute or a promiscuous woman.
