I love Sarah Palin, and agree with almost everything she stands for, but this is more than just a gotcha moment. This is just inexcusible for anyone potentially seeking the presidency. If Biden said this, we’d be rightly all over him (and he has a track record of being even more clueless on our history). These are the types of unscripted moments that are having me cool to Sarah and warm more and more to Herman. I can see more of these gaffs being detrimental to her as her potential campaign gears up.
Read comment #5 please.
Not so. See post #5.
When I vote for her, it won't be based on her memory of Revolutionary history stories, but on what she plans to do as President. The folks who weren't going to vote for Palin anyway may see some "value" in this, but it's all anecdotal.
If someone were to ask Abe Lincoln to retell the story of the Mountain Meadows Massacre (America's "first September 11th" Horror, at the hands of the Mormons), even if he botched it (or more likely never heard of it), he still was one of the greatest presidents ever.
Never mind that Palin was historically accurate in her version of events.
Oh, well. < yawn >
;-\
You mean the Herman Cain that didn’t know what “right of return” meant?
Oh balogna...there was more truth in her words than there was error. The MSM is going to be hysterical if her mascara runs.
At least she didn’t say she’s going to tour all fifty-seven states, her distant relative that never knew her liberated Austwitz so that makes her patriotic, or that the Selma bridge got her born when the march was 4 years later.
RUN, SARAH RUN!
To all you "more perfect than thou" folks...
