Sarah Palin's New Account of Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride

Many Americans think they have a solid understanding of the country's founding. No taxation without representation, tea party, Boston Massacre, George Washington, all that jazz. But, not surprisingly, Über-patriot Sarah Palin knows more than the average American. In fact, she may have more expertise on the subject than anybody else. For example, yesterday she revealed some heretofore unknown facts about Paul Revere's midnight ride. Did you know that he was actually warning the British, through the repeated ringin' of bells?

Amazing that some people believe she's actual capable (of something other than self-promotion). I have to post this again. A new word I "discovered":

v. pa-lin-ger-ing

Continuing to catch the media's (and easily swayed public) eye and attention for the sole purpose of self-interest under the guise of "speaking for the people".

More fodder for late night television. She probably thinks Sam Adams is a beer brewer. Keep Palingering.

I don't think we can underestimate the power of a dumbeddown sound bite. She is the master at capturing the imagination of dienfranchized rightwingers. Need I say more?
