Yeah, that would explain believing that Paul Revere went on his ride to warn the British...
You're a Canadian, I'l give you a break for your ignorance.

Now, that so many Americans have wallowed in their smug confirmation that Palin is an idiot unqualified for anything but repeating sixth-grade history, how far, wide and fast do you think the contradictory news will spread that the former governor of Alaska was indeed correct?

That the Republican non-candidate, in fact, knew more about the actual facts of Revere's midnight ride than all those idiots unknowingly revealing their own ignorance by laughing at her faux faux pas? How secretly embarrassing this must be, to be forced to face that you're dumber than the reputed dummy.


The well-known fable is Revere's late-night ride to warn fellow revolutionaries that....

...the British were coming. Less known, obviously, is the rest of the evening's events in which Revere was captured by said redcoats and did indeed defiantly warn them of the awakened militia awaiting their arrival ahead and of the American Revolution's inevitable victory.
Palin knew this. The on-scene reporters did not and ran off like Revere to alert the world to Palin's latest mis-speak, which wasn't.

This is what she said:


And it bears no relationship whatsoever to the version used to attempt to cover her ass for her after the fact.

But nice try.

Historian Nina Zannieri, the director of the Paul Revere Housed museum in Boston confirmed her version, but nice try.

Really? The historian of the Paul Revere museum confirmed that this:
he warned the British...by ringing those bells...and making sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells
was an accurate rendition of what happened?

Tell me, how much swampland in Florida do you own?

ETA - and far from "confirming" her version, Nina Zannieri characterizes Palin's version of the events as a "distortion".
