Mitt Somebody announced that he was running for President, but no one heard him. Elsewhere in Boston, Sarah Palin revised countless years of misinformation as she ‘refudiated’ the accepted story of Paul Revere’s famous ride.
CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin, barely held her professional poker face, as Palin – a natural teacher, described Paul Revere "sending those warning shots and bells" to tell Americans that "the British weren’t taking away our arms, by golly!" Note the NRA plug.
In more likely and accepted versions, only the weapons in stores were in danger of possible theft. It is said that Revere had to be more stealthy than to yell "The British are coming!" while riding hell bent for leather, shooting his way into town like the bad guy in a B-western.
