Fox News swaps Palin photo with Tina Fey, as Sarah’s supporters try to rewrite Paul Revere history

Perhaps it was the exhaust fumes from her bus tour, but there was some serious Sarah Palin-related stumbling going on in the media this weekend.

Fox News flubbed a photo of Sarah Palin on Sunday, televising an image of Tina Fey's Palin impression on "Saturday Night Live" instead of the former Alaskan governor.

"It's all eyes on Sarah Palin," FNC's Shannon Bream said to tease the piece. "In an exclusive interview with Fox News, the former VP candidate said she's still 50/50 about a 2012 run."

"This past Sunday during 'America's News Headquarters,' a graphics error was made during a segment on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin," David Clark, Fox News executive producer of weekend programming, said in a statement. "The producer has since been disciplined and an explanation and apology will be made in the same hour next Sunday. Fox News regrets the error."

Meanwhile, Palin's supporters were busy trying to rewrite the Wikipedia page for Paul Revere to bring it in line with Palin's version of American history.

A Wikipedia editor moved quickly to remove the edits:

In the article on Paul Revere, someone has added false information in an effort to support Sarah Palin's FALSE claims about Paul Revere. "Accounts differ regarding the method of alerting the colonists; the generally accepted position is that the warnings were verbal in nature, although one disputed account suggested that Revere rang bells during his ride.[8][9]" This must be removed as it is a LIE designed to mislead.

As Andrew Sullivan points out, Palin had an opportunity on Fox News to admit her Revere gaffe. Instead, she repeated it.

"One of the most pernicious and dangerous features of Palin is her clinical refusal to understand reality, to accept error, to acknowledge when the facts she has cited are not actually facts, but delusions," Sullivan wrote. "Her vanity and pathologies are so deep she will insist that black is white until her minions actually find a source to prove it."
