It is true that the commonly believed account of Paul Revere leaves something to be desired, being based more on Longfellow's poem than actual events. But this still doesn't justify the elaborate explanations for Palin.
As an aside, the George Washington cherry tree story is also highly suspect. I hope that doesn't shatter too many people's belief systems.

The lengths that people will go has been artfully demonstrated by you. Ms. Palin knew the actual history of an event that you (and I) only knew the fable and, of course, she is "still clueless" and your are .................... what?
She knew the historical facts and you only knew the fable, but that reality is an "elaborate explanation". You gotta know how stupid that sounds.
How about "I'm sorry Gov. Palin, I was wrong and I apologize". C'mon you'll feel better about yourself.
