If I was Sarah Palin

I'd go with the "I was Drunk" defense at this point.
Her patently moronic explanation of Paul Revere's ride (which she thinks has something to do with firearm confiscation) is only exceeded by her cringe worthy subsequent clarification. The crowning touch is Palin's counter thrust which classifies a simple query over the Old North Church as "a gotcha question".

This is in the annals of all time quick questions along with "2 + 2" and "Who is buried in Grant's Tomb."

But as I've said before, the woman is reigning queen of the GOP Clown Car...No Doubt About that.
