So Paul wasn’t riding to warn the British that the Americans knew they were coming, riding his horse, ringing his bell and shooting his gun as Palin claimed. Politicians say all kinds of crazy things. Where’s the harm here?

Well, the first problem is that it makes her look ridiculous as everyone knows that Paul was out advertising his Silver shop’s midnight madness sale when a light from the old church tower fell onto his hat and created the idea for the world’s first fire sale!

The British are coming! The British are coming! Here your Revereware before it’s gone, gone, gone! He shouted! Following the old trade route from Lexington to Concord Paul managed to scare up quite a crowd too who happened to be on hand for his free musketball promotion.

One free musketball if by land, two free musketballs if by sea, was enough to get quite a few men out for the Colonies’ first blue light sale! Patriot and Hero of Capitalism, no wonder Revere is so Revered by Republicans!

What’s that you say? That’s closer but it’s not how it happened? I’m sorry. Come to think of it I might have filled in a few details on my own. Better check a history book or wiki… Oh, never mind. Good thing I’m not running for president.

Well, at least I admitted my mistake right away just like Sarah Palin did.

What’s that? She didn’t? She tried to fool all of the people on one of the most basic and well known stories of American History?

How cute? Isn’t that precious? She’s decided the key to victory is to appear to be as smart as media darlings Paris and Lindsey. All she has to do now is leak her sex tape. What? Say it isn’t so.

Whew. It isn’t so. Joe Weiner, a Democrat came close enough to that.

So what bothers me about the story is not that she got such basic facts wrong. Facts my 8 year old knew better. What bothers me is she lied about it and tried to get away with it.

We generally hold Presidents to a higher standard. We at least expect them to know which fights are worth fighting and when it is better to admit a mistake and try to move on. This was clearly the only smart way to handle Revere gate yet neither Palin or any of her advisors were smart enough to figure that out in time to avoid severe damage to the credibility of her candidacy. The credibility loss came not so much from making the mistake, but from having no one who was willing to admit the mistake.

I know the version of history listed here is not correct. It’s meant to entertain not inform. But our President should never be our Jester, we have VP’s for that.

I try to admit my errors and Presidents should too, at least to the degree the job allows. Sure, we all acknowledge that sometimes, for good reasons, Presidents lie. What most of us don’t want are Presidents who are so I’ll educated that they feel that they have to lie habitually just to keep up. That kind of person just doesn’t merit the job and the job should go to someone better qualified.

I’m capable of factual and historical mistakes. That’s a given when you write comedy. But I am not a candidate for President and in times like these when candidates want the workers to tighten their belts and improve their performance they better be prepared to do the same darn thing themselves.

If candidates expouse better performance from teachers, then their own spelling, history and math should darn well be up to snuff. Or they’ll get a math lesson in 2012 at the polls.

Nb: Errors made in this post are mine. Sorry. I’ll try to do better next time.
