Dimwitted bimbo Sarah Palin claims Abraham Lincoln Built the “Intercontinental Railroad” (No Such Thing!)

Well, that’s it. Sarah Palin is unqualified to hold any office whatsoever because she gets this important part of history totally wrong. Check this out:

    In an interview with WTMJ, Channel 4 Milwaukee on Feb. 16, 2011, Palin insisted that Abe Lincoln built the “intercontinental railroad” during the Civil War.

    Sorry, Mrs. Governor, but Lincoln had a hand in legislation that helped built the TRANScontinental railroad, not any “intercontinental” railroad.

That’s the last straw for me. I’m out. I can’t support a moron.

BUT…

It wasn’t Sarah Palin. The real story:

    In an interview with WTMJ, Channel 4 Milwaukee on Feb. 16, 2011, Obama insisted that Abe Lincoln built the “intercontinental railroad” during the Civil War.

    Sorry, Mr. President, but Lincoln had a hand in legislation that helped built the TRANScontinental railroad, not any “intercontinental” railroad.

    So, where is the media to make fun of this?

...

Together Palin and Bachmann have a small fraction of the amount of gaffes that Obama himself has made, none of ...{his}...were big news stories and many of ...{theirs}... the media simply spiked altogether. As Michelle Obama said the other week: “Fortunately, We Have Help From The Media”. Indeed.  {edit for clarity, the original sentence was poorly worded.}

...

Sarah Palin makes small mistake about North Korea. Sheila Jackson Lee thinks there are 2 Vietnams. Guess which one makes the news?

No, there is NO liberal slant to our MSM.

If a female Democrat was treated the way the left treats Palin and Bachmann, they'd be viciously condemned as sexist and/or a misogynist.

Hell, just look at all the shit that Allen West got for not taking Debbie Blathermouth Schultz's shit?
