Goofs mare Palin's Reagan college tribute
Yahoo News ^ | June 29, 2010 | Lize Goodwin

Following in others' grand tradition of demonstrating gaps in knowledge while addressing a university, Sarah Palin told a crowd at a fundraiser at California State University in Stanislaus last weekend that Ronald Reagan, personal hero and inspiration, was a California college graduate. She told the cheering crowd: "This is Reagan country, and perhaps it was destiny that the man who went to California's Eureka College would become so woven within and interlinked to the Golden State."

There's just one problem here: Reagan went to Eureka College in Illinois from 1928 to 1932, the Alaska Dispatch reports. He didn't move to California until five years after his graduation.

Lize Goodwin is one of those ol'gals about whom no one ever asks if she is, or was ever a virgin.

She was just kinda' born that way ~ including the attitude.

Reagan was well aware of mikes. Doesn’t matter he was wonderful and had a sense of humor to match.

I never bought it that he was just joking around about bombing the Soviet Union . I think Nancy made him call it off .

Nonsense.
1: Nancy wasn't a whiny henpecking shrew that would interfere with his duties as C-i-C;
2: While Ronnie loved Nancy dearly, she couldn't or wouldn't MAKE him do anything he didn't want to do anyway.

LOL! What person ever got anywhere without taking advantage of opportunities as they appear? Especially, in the political realm? If Palin is an "opportunist" thank god she has the sense to seize the day. We need all the "opportunists" we can get if this nation is going to get through the current shit storm.

I remember the first time I realized there was a new Mexico , and I was still using to the old one.

There's a new Mexico? What did they do with the old Mexico? Here I live right on the border in New Mexico and I have not heard they had replaced Mexico.

Almost as bad as 57 states and “corpse man”.

****************

Exactly. And unlike “corpse man”, this won’t be repeated.

By the way, did you celebrate Cinco de Quatro this year?

she didn’t say Corpse though did she?
She didn’t call someone a smart ass did she?
She does know how many states there are.
So, she made a mistake. So what?

I’m not directing this at your Retired Greyhound. Just tossin’ around what the others have said and done. :)
