Sarah Palin Gets White House Address Wrong, Internet Piles On

The former vice presidential candidate who once couldn’t explain the duties of her would-be office or name a newspaper she reads every day is also apparently a little rusty on the location of the White House.

Sarah Palin was speaking to activists at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., Friday afternoon when she seemingly implied that the White House’s address was 1400 Pennsylvania Ave.

As (hopefully) we all know, it’s at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

The portion of the speech came as Palin coached those in attendance on how to deal with liberals “playing the race card” by “crying ‘racism’...just to end debate.”

The Republican "core" seems to like 'em a little stupid.

It's no bar to getting elected either, so let's have no over-confidence.

It's going to be a tough one.

so as to make it look like Sarah Palin got it right and that everyone else is wrong?


I bet one of her 'family' thought about it, assuming they realized Sarah got it wrong before the internet started to talk about her lack of numbers skills.

I'm surprised they don't all bleed out when they're bitten by mosquitoes.

Let us say someone is really stupid..and finally they figure out that they don't think too fast..or whatever...there is a fix, but it is not easy.....two words.......... shut up ..

If someone has made fool of himself/herself by talking about so and so..and that person shuts up, for a long time, then people will stop looking at that person, then decide to look at someone else. After time, with that person quiet, some observers may say that the person has gotten smarter. Some people are really not smart enough to start listening.. much too stupid..but...how much effort does it really take to stop talking??????????????

Personally, I believe that Sara is so in love with herself, that she does not realize that shutting up will actually improve her...She thinks she is some kind of great leader, as opposed to seeing what she really is... a rather stupid, very insensitive joke ................
that is not funny at all..
