Historians: Stupid Palin Got Revere Story Wrong

3:50 pm EST June 6th, 2011 | Conservative, History | 23 Comments

The other people who know this: Every American child.

Sarah Palin said that Paul Revere warned the British during his midnight ride in 1775. Historians beg to differ.

“He didn’t warn the British,” said James Giblin, author of “The Many Rides of Paul Revere.” “That’s her most obvious blooper.”

During her “One Nation Tour” last week, the former Alaska governor uttered a now-infamous recounting of the Revolutionary War hero’s midnight ride, telling reporters that Revere “warned, uh, the … the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells.” She defended her explanation on “Fox News Sunday,” saying “Part of his ride was to warn the British that we’re already there — that, ‘Hey, you’re not going to succeed. ‘”

Experts agree that warning the British — Revere was an American patriot, remember, he was against the folks across the pond — was not crucial to the midnight ride.

“Revere’s assignment that night was to go to Lexington to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were moving in that direction from Boston,” explained Kristin Peszka, director of interpretation and visitor’s services at the Paul Revere House, which Palin visited Thursday. (Peszka noted that Palin offered her convoluted account before touring the historic site.)

“People did ring bells that night,” she added. “It was a common way of alerting people to come out. But Revere was not the person ringing the bells.”

Conservatives are tying themselves in knots trying to extricate Palin’s foot from her mouth, but the problem is IT DIDN’T HAPPEN THAT WAY.

There she goes again. Thanks to Symbolman who sent me this. For someone who has incessantly attacked President Obama for using a teleprompter, this is pretty hilarious. I guess Palin couldn’t speak directly from her heart to the veteran bikers whose event she hijacked to promote her own brand. Here is the original Reuters picture.

Fox Birther Channel: Palin Edition

The funny thing is, Sarah Palin’s newfound interest in birtherism is probably directly tied to the fact that she’s dropped like a rock in the polling for 2012. Pathetic, racist, and stupid. The trifecta!

Palin Sticks Her Nose Into Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

12:14 pm EST April 1st, 2011 | Conservative, Republicans | 13 Comments

Somewhere in Wisconsin, union organizers are dancing a little jig.

Capitalizing on the rare buzz around a state Supreme Court race, Sarah Palin has endorsed an incumbent conservative justice in Wisconsin.

“Wisconsin, please remember to vote for Justice Prosser on April 5,” Palin tweeted, urging her supporters to go to Justice David Prosser’s reelection website.

As the story further notes, “Prosser’s campaign told the Associated Press that it did not seek Palin’s endorsement.” Probably because they have some sort of interest in winning.

Palin gets the liberal base riled up, and especially in non-red states an endorsement from her isn’t the kick in the pants Republican candidates want (see O’Donnell, Christine).

The Palin Parody

8:33 am EST March 7th, 2011 | Conservative, Politics, Republicans | 1 Comment

Sarah Palin is now much like the parody of what a modern politician would do. For instance, comedian Kathy Griffin has made a lot of jokes at the expense of Palin. What does a politician with a brain do? Let it slide. Comedians are going to make jokes about politicians – that’s what they do. But what does Sarah “I Can Never Suck Up A Grudge” do? She lashes out at Griffin.

Again, if this moron thinks she’s qualified for high office, the 2012 election is going to be the most entertaining thing since Locke tried to get into the hatch.

Leaked Palin Tell-All Sounds Like Palin

As I’ve noted numerous times, Palin is very bad at just letting things go. In 2008 she had the professionals on the McCain campaign to insulate her from publicly freaking out, but nowadays her chief political strategist is Todd Palin aka “The First Dude” so there isn’t any filter.

The emails, apparently from the former Alaska governor, portray Palin as nearly obsessed with her political adversaries and consumed with every slight, real or perceived.

The still-unpublished manuscript, obtained by POLITICO, reveals Palin, as a candidate for governor, penning letters-to-the-editor in praise of herself, to be sent under other names. It blames the candidate for inflaming, rather than ignoring, scurrilous rumors. And it quotes her pledging to avoid appearing on any network other than Fox News, referring to the rest as “the bad guys.”
