I actually like her version; I just can’t understand why she left out the part where he grabs two girlies and a beer that’s cold.

That’s because you think this story’s over but it’s ready to begin.

She was talking about Paul Revere, not Samuel Adams.

But . . . what . . . did you just . . . come on. Surely you got that.

I think Ben is asking for the whiffle ball bat.

Sarah Palin gets all of her historical information from Youtube.

Looks like warning the British is the choice. Very smart move by Revere.

Well played.

… and I love that George Washington song, so any reason to link that is always good in my book.

He’s Ben Sones and he gets respect.
Your cash and your jewelry’s what Palin expects.

Revere pulled out his jammie and aimed it at the sky.
He said, “Brits are comin’!” and let two fly.

Like Ma Bell, she’s got the ill communication

Houngan · 2011-06-07T09:04:15.000Z

She’s a boomin’ granny, good and plenty.

Me too. The freaked out reactions I got from people I showed it to reminded me that not everybody has had their sense of humour remixed by the internet.

Get those people to fark immedately! They can still be salvaged.

Palin was born in '64, so I am actually a little shocked she doesn’t have an elementary version of early US history memorized from Schoolhouse Rock. The Shot Heard 'Round the World features Paul Revere right at the start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhdmDDBjco0

When I was in law school, my Constitutional Law professor started reading the Preamble out loud at the start of a lecture. Within a few seconds, the entire class was singing the Schoolhouse Rock version.

How the Hell do people defend her on this? There is a wealth of historical documentation that shows she is wrong. WTF?

Tell that to All Things Considered

Anyway fuck Palin, I prefer the Andy Griffith version. Much more entertaining.

If you’re extremely forgiving, yeah, it sounds totally right.

The pathetic thing here is that in the ambiguity of her remarks she got to claim some accuracy, but she didn’t know what the fuck she was saying at the time. She was reciting a fairy tale version of the events where she actually thought that the 2nd Amendment existed, that Revere was ringing the bells, AND firing warning shots.

At the “British”.

On his way to “NASCAR”.

Where he had box seats with “Jesus”.

EDIT: The pathetic thing here is that one has to parse and interpret what she said in a way she did not mean to say it in order to give her any credit for accuracy like a remedial elementary school teacher trying to encourage a particularly slow child.

Yup. If you want to get into some pretty strenuous mental gymnastics, it totally works out the way she said it did!

Wicked witch of the east declines an invite to meet with the defender of Alaska.

Can’t quote it on this thing but a mildly entertaining rebuff from the thatcher camp to the suggestion that the wicked old biddy might like to meet with Reagan’s “successor”.
