Palin's right about Paul Revere
*
Dan Calabrese at The Detroit News Blogs:

“The problem here is not with Palin. It's with the media, who apparently know nothing of Paul Revere's ride apart from what was said in Longfellow's famous poem. This is similar to when Palin told tea party activists to "party like it's 1773," and the media - knowing nothing of the Boston Tea Party - ripped her on the baseless assumption that Palin must have been talking about the signing of the Declaration of Independence... Meanwhile, how much more debt has the federal government incurred during the days we've all been talking about what the media said about what Sarah Palin said about what Paul Revere said to the British?”
