One if by tour bus, two if by... no, wait...

Ok, sorry it took me a couple of days, but this is just too priceless not to post. Here's the video clip of Sarah Palin's revisionist recounting of Paul Revere's apparently-not-as-famous-as-the-rest-of-us-were-taught ride.

I used be a newswriter at CNN Atlanta many, many moons ago. Had a really good friend and colleague Ken, (may he rest in peace), who used to always say "never let the facts get in the way of a good story." Now, of course, Ken would say that with a wink and smile.

For now, Ms. Palin is sticking with her story. She apologized this afternoon if she "stepped on" any of Mitt Romney's publicity the other day as the Palin mobile rolled into a nearby New Hampshire town (he was only announcing his candidacy - what a coincidence!), but she is adamant that she knows her U.S. history... even if none of the history books seem to know it the same way...
