Cheat Sheets to explain the two versions of the Palin Brawl - the Thrilla in Wasilla

Hopefully these cheat sheets will clear up the differences between the eyewitness accounts and the story promulgated by Ex - gov/ex-Repub VP Nominee, ex Wasilla mayor , meh - Sarah Palin

From The Washington Post Blog:

By Jonathan Capehart September 15 

"Last week, I brought you Amanda Coyne’s report about the alleged brawl involving the family of Sarah Palin — the one where she allegedly yelled, “Don’t you know who I am?,” and where Bristol Palin allegedly “cold-cocked” the party’s host. Today, I bring you the former half-term Alaska governor’s side of events, as told to a friend, who told Scott Conroy of RealClear Politics. According to Conroy’s story from Saturday, the fight started when Willow’s ex-boyfriend tried to get into their stretch Hummer. Family patriarch Todd got into the fight. During the melee, Sarah yelled about her son, “Don’t you know who he is? He’s a vet!” And Bristol didn’t slug the party host because she’s left-handed.

"To help you keep the two versions of events straight, I’ve sketched two cheat sheets. One features the account of eyewitnesses. The other uses the Palin side of the alleged events. To think, that family could have been a heartbeat away from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. while raising hell at the Naval Observatory. As someone told me upon hearing the news of the brawl, Sarah Palin “is the Onion version of Joe Biden.'”
