Evans, Malcolm Paul, 1945- :"Sarah Palin is coming!" 7 June 2011

A horseman (Paul Revere) gallops along ringing a bell and yelling 'Sarah Palin is coming!' Context - A gaffe made by Sarah Palin, would-be American presidential candidate during a bus tour of the north-eastern states to "educate and energize Americans" about America's founding principles. She said (about Paul Revere), "He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms..." In fact, Paul Revere, noted silversmith and esteemed patriot to the American colonial cause, set out to warn Boston and the surrounding region that the British were coming. But wasn't the bus tour designed to "educate" Americans? The irony of Palin's gaffe is that she probably did just that. (Yahoo 6 June 2011)
