Goofs mare Palin's Reagan college tribute
Yahoo News ^ | June 29, 2010 | Lize Goodwin

Following in others' grand tradition of demonstrating gaps in knowledge while addressing a university, Sarah Palin told a crowd at a fundraiser at California State University in Stanislaus last weekend that Ronald Reagan, personal hero and inspiration, was a California college graduate. She told the cheering crowd: "This is Reagan country, and perhaps it was destiny that the man who went to California's Eureka College would become so woven within and interlinked to the Golden State."

There's just one problem here: Reagan went to Eureka College in Illinois from 1928 to 1932, the Alaska Dispatch reports. He didn't move to California until five years after his graduation.

There was some lib who did the same thing recently. With Wheaton College I think it was? Of course, the gaffe got no msm coverage. Let’s see if Sarah’s gaffe also gets zero msm coverage...

It was Ann Curry from the NBC Today Show. It got little coverage, because few people care about her.

A minor error. Eureka....”I Have Found Ir”....is the State Motto of California.

I’m sure Sarah knows that there are 50 states in our Union, not 57 states like Obama mentioned.

So, Yahoo news, give Palin another year or two and she’ll make as many speech mistakes as the Obamaloon makes in a week
