Conan Presents The Sarah Palin History Channel (VIDEO)

Poor Sarah Palin. Even when embarking on a vaguely-defined bus tour, the darn media insists on asking her "gotcha" questions. The latest: "What did Paul Revere do?" Just despicable. Palin's answer, while not actually historically accurate (despite her supporters' best efforts to change Revere's Wikipedia entry to reflect her answer), felt like it could have been right answer based on her vision of what American history should be.

Which is why we're glad that Conan introduced the "Sarah Palin History Channel" on Tuesday's episode for a reenactment of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, disregarding the facts and heightening the guns and folksy platitudes that feel like the right version of history. Without the pesky liberal media and smarty-pants textbooks, maybe Americans will finally see our country's history for what it is: a hodgepodge of historical figures with awesome guns.

Don’t let Texas get a hold of this. It might show up in their school curriculum.

Palin's lack of intellectual relevance on any topic or isssue is her "charm". He crass monologues and abusive rhertoric only add to her charm. She has become the nation's "plaything" as a result of media attention and her arrogance, narcissistic, egotism has a life of its own by creating an antomosphere that will not go away because we have all have learned to live with and endure misery that we face daily and she is a leading cause.

I can't wait for Sarah to take this very personally and go on Fox News to bash the "lamestream media" for criticizing her.

With that bewildering smug look on her face and that impossibly screechy voice of hers, any words coming out her her mouth are irrelevant, because at the time you are hearing her your mind is melting from the experience and you just want it to end, for the love of God, just make it stop, please, I'll vote for her if she just stops talking, this is not happening, this is not happening!

Haha! That was good!

But I was worried at first by the headline on the main page. I thought Palin was possibly getting a show and would ruin my beloved History Channel. It's bad enough there's the Larry the Cable Guy show, Swamp People and the taxidermy show.

I'm wondering how Paul Revere rode his horse, full speed, in the dark of night, while "ringing those bells." Reigns on his fingers and bells on his toes, maybe?

And don't forget, blasting away with his front loading musket! Well, he *had* to warm them mean old British that they weren't gonna get our guns!
