The Sarah Palin Gift

Ya gotta say this much, Sarah Palin makes good copy.

She epitomizes the proverbial gift that keeps giving. We all have run across Palin types in life - the dimmest in the room who think they are the smartest in the room - and have enjoyed their comedic gaffes.


During this latest flap over Paul Revere's historical ride - in which he warned the colonist (as we all learned in grade school): The British are coming, The British are coming - Sarah doesn't fail to disappoint us.

In the world according to Ms. Palin:

"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed."

Instead of just saying "my bad" and moving on, Palin feebly and arrogantly attempts (remember that refudiate for repudiate explaination in which she called her word invention Shakespearean) to make it seem as if we are the clueless ones.

On Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked Palin, "You realize that you messed up about Paul Revere, don't you?" Palin responded, "I didn't mess up about Paul Revere. ... Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there. That, hey, you're not going to succeed. You're not going to take American arms," she explained. "He did warn the British." Many of Palin's supporters agree with her, and some are trying to create a new revised version of Paul Revere's midnight ride on Wikipedia.

I guess I am now part of the Lame Street media who unfairly picks on Palin by writing or reporting verbatim what she says.

BTW, after the Palin/Trump (or is it Trump/Palin) Pizza Summit, I couldn't resist pairing them in the above picture. After all, Donald shares the same I am never wrong disease.
