She's stupid, ignorant, and apparently unteachable, a perfect heroine
for the far right and the teabaggers.

I'm not sure who is dumber, Palin or Bachmann. So, we have those two,
plus:


It matters not, D'Plume. Either has an intellect far above your
level.

Name all of the riders who rode through the towns and countryside
warning the people that the Birtish were coming?

Paul Revere wasn't the only one.

Israel Bissell springs to mind but Longfellow had trouble making him
sound heroic.

The reality is most of this Paul Revere story was made up in a poem.


So, you're defending Palin's asinine comments?


Longfellow wrote a poem. It was not a historical account of what
happened.

Do you know that the historians are of the opinion that it was Paul
Revere swinging the lanterns in the steeple of the old north church.


Which has what do with Palin's inane comments. She's your favorite,
apparently.
