Palin's book a little fuzzy on history

[Elmore Furth]

Sarah Palis is a bit loosy goosy n the facts in her book, "America by Heart."

As usual, history is only useful if it promotes the Palin Agenda and can be rewritten if it is not quite convenient.

The political Palin who emerges is prone to unsupported generalizations, wants simple answers to complex questions, has no sympathy with bipartisanship, mistakes sarcasm for wit, prefers derision to debate and, like other zealots of both the right and the left, fails to realize that the great heart of America is moderate, alternating pragmatically between just-right-of-center and just-left-of-center.

This is not a minor point, because she makes a very big deal of using the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution as warrants for her political agenda.

The former Alaskan governor informs us twice, on Pages 110 and 189, that John Adams took part in the Constitutional Convention and was "a leading participant."

Adams wasn't at the Constitutional Convention. He wasn't even in the country; he was in England as U.S. minister to the Court of St. James's.


Casting herself as a defender of religion in the public square, which she claims is under liberal attack, the author tells us how Benjamin Franklin suggested that the Constitutional Convention begin each session with a prayer. She ends the story there, leaving the impression that the delegates adopted Franklin's motion.

They did not.

1. Do you expect Palin to allow facts

to disturb her agenda?
That woman is an idiot.

2. Frank Burns on spikes.

lol

3. Palin's a little fuzzy in general.

It doesn't surprise me. She frequently likes to make it look like society is aligned with her, when in fact, the majority of people don't like or trust her at all.

4. little fuzzy was a bear, little fuzzy had big hair

little fuzzy was a doozy, wasn't she?

5. Little Fuzzy was a Ditz, wasn't she?

Palin speedreads the title and the captions under the photos, both anemic when it comes to facts.

The greatest Christmas gift would be if she went back to Alaska, never to be seen or heard from again...along with her dysfunctional family.

6. (insert Farside comic with dog, laundry & kat fud signs)

OH PLEEZE OH PLEEZE OH PLEEZE!

9. Apparently her brain suffered "exposure" at some point...

It's those damn Rethug tin foil hats, you see :tinfoilhat: - except that they don't work so well when you put them on the wrong way.

And that may just explain why her thought processes are so screwed up, natch!

7. Only thing that dame isn't fuzzy about are the demands in her speaking contract.
