After she gave her typical "Mad Libs" style response to cover her tracks, Chris had a knowing smile on his face as if to say, "This idiot is so full of shit, but she's good for our ratings!"<br /><br />Sarah's failure to admit she was wrong about Paul Revere is right up there with Michele Bachmann's inability to own up to any of the false statements she's made. <br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/06/michele-bachmann-savannah-guthrie_n_845555.htmlMalcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-43287178937453657422011-06-07T16:08:24.677-04:002011-06-07T16:08:24.677-04:00Mel Brooks......

What? He said what? The 2000 year old man goes on to explain that Revere on his famous ride was yelling out "The Yiddish are coming! The Yiddish are coming!" More laughs. When he is corrected by Carl Reiner who said Paul Revere actually said "The British are coming! The British are coming!, the 2000 year old man says, without a seconds hesitation, "Oy, I didn't go to his funeral.

I'd put everything from "Second Amendment solution" rants to Boehner's posturing about the debt ceiling in this category.<br /><br />Steeped in this atmosphere, the ignorant Palin naturally assumes that Paul Revere must have similarly been making loud, threatening noises to intimidate the British. Stealth and subtlety are alien to the modern right's way of thinking about how to wage conflict. Revere was a good guy, so he must have been engaged in the same kind of noisy in-your-face kind of fight that Palin herself is waging.<br /><br />Then, of course, since she imagines it that way, it must have been so.<br /><br />And there's no point in trying to argue about it, because "OK, I made a mistake" isn't in their arsenal of tactics either. The only possible response is more screeching and posturing.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-57064034062602815912011-06-05T20:05:39.177-04:002011-06-05T20:05:39.177-04:00When Herman Cain was asked about the Right of Retu...When Herman Cain was asked about the Right of Return with regard to Israel, he flubbed the question. Asked later by a FOX news reader about the incident, he admitted he did not know what Right of Return meant. Cain isn't insecure and understands that acknowledging that he didn't know something is not an indictment on his intellect.<br /><br />Palin, however, doesn't get that.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-8539151993717929442011-06-05T19:41:42.367-04:002011-06-05T19:41:42.367-04:00The most stupid part of this incident is she doesn...The most stupid part of this incident is she doesn't have the good grace to admit an error.

But taken together with her numerous gaffes, it reveals a woman who does not have a grasp of basic information, let alone complicated issues.<br /><br />Here's another example of her ignorance of American history:<br /><br />"Go back to what our founders and our founding documents meant -- they're quite clear -- that we would create law based on the God of the bible and the Ten Commandments." –-Sarah Palin, arguing that Judeo-Christian belief was the basis for American law and should continue to be used as a guiding force for creating future legislation, interview with Bill O'Reilly, May 6, 2010<br /> <br />Another glaring example of her ignorance of American history.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-19893467005081537762011-06-05T18:24:49.559-04:002011-06-05T18:24:49.559-04:00How do you spell dumb?
