Palin fans was Palin correct in saying that Paul Revere rode around firing shots and ringing bells?

It's one thing to be embarrassingly wrong about something, but another thing entirely when you know you don't know it and yet try to answer anyway and then when you get it wrong deny you were wrong. There is something palpably disturbing about a personality that is so compelled to always have an answer and to always be right and that can't take it when it is proven otherwise to the point of a bold-faced lie. Is this the best the neocons have got?
