Sarah Palin apparently flubbed details of Paul Revere's famous midnight ride during the Revolutionary War when she visited Boston yesterday.

The former Alaska governor, who may or may not be running for the GOP presidential nomination, thought Revere was warning the British army when he rode from Boston to Lexington.

Here's the transcript, from New York magazine, of what she told reporters who were trailing her on her bus tour of historical sites:

He who warned, uh, the … the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringin' those bells and, um, by makin' sure that as he's ridin' his horse through town to send those warnin' shots and bells that, uh, we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free … and we were gonna be armed.

Revere was, in fact, riding from Boston to Lexington to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the approaching British army. And no bells were used -- the mission was a secret.

The blogosphere is having a field day with this one.ThinkProgress is panning Palin's description of this historic event. We have Mediaite to thank for spotlighting this.

Palin doesn't make mention of her Revere account on the travel blog on her Sarah PAC website, but she did post picturesof the Old North Church, Paul Revere's house and Bunker Hill.

Can't wait to switch my party affiliation to repub so I can vote for her in the primaries, then switch back to vote for Obama in the general.

I'd still rail her brains out.....even if she doesn't have much to rail

I bet 10 SBR points she'll takeover the Glen Beck time slot on FNC by football season......any takers???

[Facepunch]

I actually thought that Pickle. Makes sense. just trading one loon for another.

I watched it on Maher tonight and if you don't get douche chills from this, you're an idiot too.

[Seattle Slew]

Very likely. I don't think she's running. People in her camp that have spoken against her say she's all about money, and that's an easy way to make some.

As long as Sarah Palin continues to irritate useless liberal democrats, I will always be her biggest fan.

I wasn't crazy about President Bush as he was way too liberal but I sure did admire him for enraging the left for 8 full years.

Nasaki, Sarah Palin is a WINNER and you're a LOSER. Its just that simple.

Not a good spin.

She's not irritating liberals. Why would they be irritated? She's a train wreck that makes the Republicans look like a joke. They're actually thanking God for her and they're PRAYING she runs.

With that in mind, GO SARAH GO!!!

Palin is largely responsible for the Tea Party surge which caused the democratic party THRASHING last November. Without Palin's influence, democratic party losses in the mid-term would have been limited and its quite possible Obama would have had another 2 years as a "blank check" president.

Due to the mid-term democratic party meltdown, the vast majority of Obama's power was taken away from him severely limiting the amount of damage he could do to the country.

Sarah Palin is our country's greatest hero(ine) and she will go down in history as the woman who stopped Obama from destroying our nation.

Palin making the republicans look like a joke to left-wing idiots can NOT possibly be a bad thing. She is able to energize republicans and swing voters like no one else can.

As far as Palin running for president, its not going to happen. Since liberal democrats are wrong about every single major issue of importance, its certainly no surprise you will wind up being wrong about Palin running for president as well. Instead, she will continue to do everything she can to make liberal democrats look like fools and she has plenty of ammo to work with.

With that in mind, GO SARAH GO!!!

By the way, why would anyone care that you answered 3 questions correctly on May 23rd in SBR trivia? Is your self-esteem so low that you feel you have to tell the entire SBR forum that you were able to answer 3 questions correctly 1X during the entire 2011 year to date?

You think I have control whether or not the trivia badges get put on my posts?

[andywend]

After I posted it, I then realized its probably done automatically by SBR hence the reason why I deleted the last line from my posting.

You couldn't figure this out after all this time at SBR?

Don't forget your dealing with someone that apparently thinks Palin actually has some sort of plan.

Would you like a badge? I'm giving them out to my close, personal friends.

The British are very fond of Sarah as she pointed out the long history of cooperation between our countries. That night that Paul Revere warned ....err the British about guns and .....well you know what I'm saying. We have been friends ever since. Knowing anything about American history is not required of Presidents...as exhibited by GW2. Don't be so hard on Sarah, she has spent most of her life keeping a eye on Russia for us. Sarah said she wants to rewrite history....I didn't realize she meant it literally! Where is the next stop on the Palin comedy tour?

[Carseller4]

At least Palin doesn't think there are 57 States.

Palin might not run for President, but she will have a huge say on who does.

[DwightShrute]

Don't forget your dealing with someone that apparently thinks Palin actually has some sort of plan.

actually she does and has explained it often

What is Obama's plan? Here it is: Spend trillions and increase the size of government. Heck, what a plan. Miserable failure is Obama. He should resign today.

[ABEHONEST]

Unlike, programmed and robotic Obama, Palin doesn't use teleprompters while vacationing around America.
You'll notice, two of our most powerful leaders, Obama and Hillery, when caught off guard and live, cannot put two words together without an UH!

In a debate...Obama would run through Sarah. it will never happen (the debate), but would be "priceless" to see. Sarah is strictly in anything for the money.Sshe knows she can't hold Obama's strap. Gorgeous as hell though. Kinda reminds me of an older Casey Anthony......but not AS evil.

She would mop the floor with Obama.

What can he possibly debate her on and come close to winning? the economy? The debt? Health care? foreign policy? Cash for clunkers? The housing market? Jobs? His regulation of Wall street? Stimulus spending?

Lets start w/ American History

[Boltafied]

Mop the floor?!?!?!

You funny. You and I both know she knows nothing about anything. I like her too, but for the same reason most MEN do. And its not political.

[DwightShrute]

Lets start w/ American History

you mean like Obama thinking there are 57 states? And he campaigned in 55 of them.
Palin would wipe the floor with him on the Constitution. He doesn't follow it.

[Boltafied]

Would you really want Sarah to run this country????
O...and be considered a WORLD leader????

Go ahead, state your confusion.

[Boltafied]

No President will please all, but Sarah would disappoint most.

[Boltafied]

Similar to Glenn Beck, the joke is REALLY on us. Take us to the bank, Sarah! When she makes the money she wants to make and quietly goes off (or back) to frost land, everyone will be speaking a different tune on how she got over. I'm not hatin though, make yo ends baby girl...make yo ends. Its America, right?

[DwightShrute]

do you really want more of Obama? why? She couldn't be any worse that is certain.

And you call me confused. wow

[golfrulz]

ur a funny guy dwight....how much respect would falin get here and overseas? you Betcha.

[Boltafied]

Why yes, I wouldn't mind. Independent voter here, so if the GOP had a more qualified individual I would DEFINITELY entertain the idea of voting for them. But come on...that just isn't happening (right now). GOP is reeling into a negative direction.

Obama has done a coulel of things no recent past president has done.

Healthcare (say what you want, but you have either family members or friends that can use this)

And of course, catching the elusive one (Bin Laden).

Yes, economy is slumping (badly for some), but this started many, many years ago. Some might say during those Reagan years (yep I said it). Cutting everything but for the rich. We have a long ways to go to get where we want to be. But even if or when we get there, there will always be the naysayer...no matter what party is controlling the country.

Yes he was in power when Osama was killed. He didn't do it alone and the efforts from the Bush administration played an important role.

Obamacare? The bill that he lied about? the one that he promised to debate live on c-span for all the people to see? The Bill that he help behind closed doors with out an GOP members? The bill that currently has over a 1000 waivers issued to opt out of it? The Bill that is currently going to be likely overturned in the courts? The bill that forces ...... forces people to buy something?



So Osama is dead ... 4 more years!

talk about setting the bar low.

[DwightShrute]

ur a funny guy dwight....how much respect would falin get here and overseas? you Betcha.

from the lefties? Not much but the right people are definitely against her which confirms she is saying the right things. She is smart, successful and loaded with common sense along with values that is needed in your country. Any country.

Right now you have a smug arrogant President who is clearly not able to run the country so having someone the complete opposite, like a Palin, would be a ginormous improvement.

you betcha

Biden wiped the floor with Palin. Obama would rape her in the ass so hard the liberals would cream their pants. Be honest.

Okay..valid rubute. But Obama did make the FINAL call and ended that noise

Healthcare for some reason has always been a tough sell in America. Richest country (or now 2nd) in the world and we can't get free healthcare for our citizens. Others have it, but us..???? I agree, will not make everyone happy, but its sorely needed. I personally don't have the right answers, but applaud the efforts for any Pres that has to galls to try and make it happen.

The bar? Man, I'm an American citizen I stop setting the bar high along time ago...as no one can reach it. Records are meant to be broken, "BARS" are meant to never be met......in all aspects of life. Just be happy with what makes you happy, you'll just have to indulge the rest.

[DwightShrute]

The bar? Man, I'm an American citizen I stop setting the bar high along time ago...as no one can reach it.

Ok but come on. Politicians work for us. Why can't we at least expect them to tell the truth? Obama is an embarrassment in his domestic agenda/policies and one of the biggest liars. Nothing he has done or proposed has succeeded. Time to call a spade a spade IMO. Why americans would want 4 more years of this crap is amazes me. And some, support him with such enthusiasm.
