That's not history. That's not even a fucking sentence.

No. No it isn't... Don't blame me. I didn't actually listen and transcribe it for myself. >.>

And once again the Tea Party demonstrates that, despite all protestations to the contrary, they really do have no idea what they're talking about.

Actually that account of history is correct. Sarah Palins mouth contains a black hole that can bend space-time.

I doubt she actually thinks Paul Revere warned the British. She likely misspoke.
That being said, her public speaking abilities are absolutely abysmal.

No, probably not, but the rest, as worded, still isn't right and makes no sense.

Probably, but what matters more than what she meant was what she actually said. And what she actually said in that mangled, tormented, near-random string of English words was that Paul Revere warned the British. Can you imagine a Chief Executive incapable of saying what they actually mean without a speechwriter? I wonder if ol' Sarah even knows who William Dawes and Sam Prescott are? Or the fact that Dawes rode farther than Revere that night? Or the fact that Revere was captured by the British and lied his ass off about the number of troops the patriots had, making his captors so nervous that they let him go? Or the fact that the only reason anyone even knows who Paul Revere was is that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote his famous poem just before the Civil War in an attempt to stir up Northern feelings of unity and patriotism? Or the fact that Longfellow chose to make the poem about Revere because he thought that was the easiest of the three names to rhyme? Somehow I doubt she knows any of that. She probably thinks Longfellow is the pirate from "Treasure Island." |

Yeah, there's no denying Palin's ignorance, nor her inability to form a coherent sentence. She would literally be the worst president ever.
