    Well, I suppose if she was one of you liberal media elites she could afford to have someone write her speeches and check her facts. But she's just plain ol' Real American Sarah, and factual inaccuracy just shows how authentic she is.

    Call me impressed. I would have thought her main quotes would have come from a package of Slim Jim or maybe a Pillsbury jingle, "Mmmm, pop ' n fresh dough...maverick!"

    Yes, this whole Wooden/Wooden Legs debacle never would have happened if the misquoting didn't steer away from thought provoking references to dried meat and canned pastry. Know thine limits, Sarah.

    Ha ha. Best part is that they're going to have to go back and change all the history books now, because Palin's adherents are never going to be able to acknowledge that she made an error.

    @raincoaster: It's not HIS fault. And I'd welcome some Ben Franklin.

    My intellectually-challenged sister posts her OWN inspirational quotes. ("Take the time each day to spread the sunshine of your smile. It will warm hearts all day in this cold season." " Holiday hearts are full of joy and anticipation. Love, laughter and understanding are meant to be shared!")

    She can be a rude c---t 90% of the time, but she posts this treacle and you wouldn't believe how many people think she's a warm caring person. Maybe it's her alter ego.

    But I digress. Mark Twain has some good ones, too.

    I have a friend who makes up his own demented, but plausible if you're skimming, quotes and sees how many times they get retweeted.

    @raincoaster: That is hilarious. I remember a few years ago I read something about how huge the calico kitten home decor industry is. I wonder if the Chinese prisoners who make that crap aren't relieved that they are only forced to make the stuff, and not to actually have to decorate their cells with it.
    Last week one of the Gawker editors thoughtfully provided a link to Regretsy.com. I suggest you point your friend to that site. I literally laughed until my ribs hurt.

    The sad and frustrating thing is, you can post a hundred of these gaffes and no matter how ridiculous, crazy, stupid she is, her supporters will not change their minds unless told to by FoxNews. They have blinders on and they just will not see any of it.

    By waiting in line, these people are demonstrating more perseverence than their idol brought to the actual task of governing. Who in their right mind would actually vote for someone who bailed on the biggest job she was ever elected to in order to go on a book tour and do some talk shows? Sarah Palin has no interest in doing any actual work; can we all just concede that she's auditioned for, and gotten, her dream job: just another ignorant Republican Christianist blowhard and leave it at that?

    Can we end the exploitation of people waiting in line? I really don't want to have to wait in a line and worry about some smart-ass blogger shoving a mic in my face. I don't really care what they are waiting in line for. Let people wait without having someone else's political agenda shoved in their faces.

    @Rachael Jones: Why? Is there something about standing in line that saps brain cells? It's easy enough not to talk to someone with a camera and a microphone, you simply don't say anything. Also, what exactly was smart-assed about this guy? I thought he was pretty respectful; these people dug their own rhetorical holes.
