Alex Spillius must have “do a monthly hit piece on Sarah Palin” written into his UK Daily Telegraph contract
Supporters of Sarah Palin have attempted to edit the Wikipedia page on Paul Revere, the War of Independence hero, after glaring historical errors the White House hopeful made during her tour to Boston last week.
Indeed he implies that it might have even been one of her aides who tried to tamper with Wikipedia.
The oddest thing about this piece, though, is not the fact that Spillius fell into the Palin Trap by relying on Longfellow rather than doing a bit of research (actually he probably didn’t even go to his poetry book, just took his usual cue from the US media) but his characterisation of the bus tour. You would never guess that even CNN was admitting that Palin scored a home run with this project or that the latest poll was putting her as joint front runner for the GOP nomination. Spillius paints it as a feeble attempt scuppered by her own “ignorance”
Do you know what annoys me the most? Not that this guy writes a hit piece on Palin’s “gaffe” which backfires on him.
Can a leopard change it’s spots?
Can a weasel change it’s teeth?
Of course not.
It’s the fact that he gets paid large dollops of gelt for doing it.
Pass the sick bag, Alice….
