Following in others' grand tradition of demonstrating gaps in knowledge while addressing a university, Sarah Palin told a crowd at a fundraiser at California State University in Stanislaus last weekend that Ronald Reagan, personal hero and inspiration, was a California college graduate. She told the cheering crowd: "This is Reagan country, and perhaps it was destiny that the man who went to California's College would become so woven within and interlinked to the Golden State." There's just one problem here: Reagan went to Eureka College in Illinois from 1928 to 1932, the Alaska Dispatch reports. He didn't move to until five years after his graduation. There's no Eureka College in California (though there's a town of Eureka that has a College of the Redwoods nearby).

Immediately after her speech, a microphone caught voices in the press area trashing the former Alaska governor, Mediate reported. "The dumbness doesn’t just come from soundbites," one complained. The Fox affiliate owned the microphone but says their reporters did not make the comments.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/news/ynews/pl_ynews/storytext/ynews_pl2928/36735375/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100629/ap_on_re_us/us_palin_defense_fund - broken link) on a more serious recent mistake of Palin's political organization. Administrators for her defense accidentally sent out a rough draft of an email to thousands of supporters that falsely claimed she faced "millions of dollars" in legal fees because of "frivolous" ethics suits against her. The corrected version of the email said the fees numbered in the hundreds of thousands, not millions.

Not hard to believe that Republicans have boosted up this severe joke of a person as its spokesperson. If she looked like Cicely Tyson, she wouldn't see the light of day, and the Right certainly would not prop her up as its representative. Palin stinks.

Your logic is flawed.
