Lol. Palin lauds Reagan's time spent at California's Eureka College. Which is in Illinois.

[sufrommich]

Oh my. You had to figure this might happen when Sarah Palin, one-time best governor of Alaska, started pallin' around with those journalist types there at Fox News. Or any of those journalist types there in the lamestream media, you know. The makin' things up and gettin' things confused is dangerously contagious.

So here is Alaska's ex-governor addressing a California State University-Stanislaus fundraiser over the weekend:

"...this is Reagan country and (applause), YEAH! And perhaps it was destiny that the man who went to California's Eureka College would become so woven within and inter-linked to the Golden State.'' (You can watch it yourself at about minute 4:30 into a rockin', rollin', rollickin' speech.)

Well, as Reagan liked to say, California is the Golden State, and he did become inter-linked with it. And yes, as Reagan also liked to say, he did go to a Eureka College, but it wasn't in California.

No, Eureka College is half a continent away in the flatlands of Illinois. Reagan attended school there from 1928 to 1932. He was the school's top collegiate swimmer, a three-year letterman in football, and appeared in 14 plays. He left after graduation in 1932 to take a job as a sports announcer in Davenport, Iowa, which is closer to California but still a long way from it.

1. That should be ex-half-governor.

[xchrom]

2. Of course she did. Nt

[Xipe Totec]

3. What else would you expect from the half-wit half-assed half-governor or Alaska? nt

[Blue Owl]

4. Oh, all of 'em.

Colleges, that is, also.

[theothersnippywshrub]

5. Perhaps she was channeling The Great Prevaricator himself.

It is a Reaganesque kind of stupid lie.

[Art_from_Ark]

32. Yeah, next she'll be saying that Alaska's trees

cause more pollution than the Exxon Valdez spill :crazy:

[Turbineguy]

6. Let's not kid ourselves.

Being a loudmouthed idiot is harder than people think. And it takes a lot of people to make it work.

[theothersnippywshrub]

8. She is the organ grinder's monkey. Shadow Governor Dude runs the scams.

He tells her where to go, what to say, what to wear and what to write on her hand. That is one of the reasons she can not answer very simple questions.

[classysassy]

7. The darling of the right

Another faux pas by the floozy from Faux news.

[HubertHeaver]

9. How could Reagan be a three-year letterman in football if he

appeared in only 14 plays? That is fewer than one play per game, assuming (>4-game seasons).

[davidinalameda]

12. 14 plays

as in theater productions

not football plays

[mix]

10. Sounds like the shit Reagan used to say. nt

[EFerrari]

11. Someone stop her before she gushes again.

[Bonhomme Richard]

13. It's funny that she hired writers as stupid as she is. n/t

[droidamus2]

14. Wait a minute

You mean California has colleges and California has a city named Eureka but Eureka College isn't in California how the hell did that happen? Are you sure?

[XemaSab]

28. The closest university to Eureka is Humboldt State

If he'd been to school there, the country would look very different.

[petronius]

34. Sounds unpossible, doesn't it? Even worse, there's a California University

in Pennsylvania, and the Univ. of Phoenix isn't just in Arizona. Higher education is quite a minefield for poor Mrs. Palin...

[Turbineguy]

36. Hmmm.......

You're getting good at this. Not a good thing.

:toast:

[LawnKorn]

15. Oh Yeah, well George Bush was in the Texas Air National Gaurd in Montgomery

Alabama

[Scurrilous]

16. K & R

:thumbsup:

[no_hypocrisy]

17. Atta girl, Sarah!

Keep'em comin' darlin'

[Octafish]

18. She's gonna be Jebthro's Impeachment Insurance.

A kind of Dan Quayle, you betcha. Just not as good a spellur.

[spooky3]

19. hey, you may have tipped off Keith Olbermann!

he mentioned this on his Worst Person segment.

[Swamp Rat]

20. durp!

[Rex]

35. Sarah if you can't handle the Chronic, please just say so and

go buy some weak local shit! People who can't handle their weed make me soo...nevermind...bong hit!!!

[Jack Rabbit]

21. A crown for the Queen of the Frozen North

Modeled here by an anonymous youngster . . .



Of course, in Sarah's World, it's all the fault of the lamestream media. They reported it.

[IDemo]

22. "Eureka! I have seen it from my front porch!"

[jillan]

23. Well golly gee boys and girls. They are both in the lower 48 wink wink.

[malaise]

24. Lady Blah Blah is an idiot

I mean damn - that crap is available on google.

[PufPuf23]

25. Pot approving Sarah must have meant Humboldt State

located in Arcata that shares Humboldt Bay with Eureka.

Sarah knows where to find the good bud at least.

[Raine]

26. maybe she needs to quit writing on her hand, become an adult and

use a teleprompter, of course she'll still be stupid!:silly:

edit: removed period

[SOS]

27. "California's Eureka College"

Which does not exist.

Reagan was woven within California and inter-linked?

Who writes this garbage?

[Cresent City Kid]

29. You mean she didn't confuse "Stanislaus" with "Santa Claus"?

That would have been a little less embarassing.

[47of74]

30. The Empress has no clothes

I wish to Christ someone would let her in on that fact.

[struggle4progress]

31. She probably thought it was in Eureka Valley

[LibDemAlways]

33. Whoever writes her material is as stupid and lazy as she is.

This kind of gaffe by a Democrat would make the offender a national laughing stock. Palin gets a pass by everyone except Olbermann. Stupid and lazy - our corporate media whores.

[BrklynLiberal]

37. Once again she confirms Abraham Lincoln's advice:

It is better to be quiet and be thought of a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
