I can't believe people are still arguing this. :doh
I don't know whether to admire or pity apdst for sticking to his version of what happened even in the face of the evidence presented to him repeatedly. It must be a pride thing.
Regardless, this whole thing is a non-issue. She flubbed the story of Paul Revere. Lets all move on. Sarah Palin is a human being and human beings **** up sometimes. Just because she ****ed up in this particular instance doesn't mean that she's not smart or that the people who point it out somehow hate her.
I find it ironic that some of the people here get just as outraged when Obama flubs up and they turn it into a huge issue. The problem here is that it could have ended if Sarah Palin had just admitted on Fox News that she ****ed up when she was asked about it. However, she chose to claim that she didn't make any mistake at all, and now it keeps going. It would be like Obama claiming that he didn't make a mistake with the 2008 date thing and that this isn't actually 2011.
Please, for the love of god can we move on?
Exactly. Just "Misspoke, meant to say..blah". Lots of people misspeak, it's not a big deal. Now Palin seems to have a knack for it; but whatever. The rabid defense is a bit annoying though because in the political process we should all engage in clear, fair analysis of the candidates (or possible candidates) in order to gauge their ability to do the job. If you just go the blind partisan route, you'll endorse someone who probably shouldn't be. Or at the very least, someone who can be replaced with someone better.
