Title: Goofs mar Palin's Reagan college tribute, legal fund appeal Post by: Allhallowsday on June 29, 2010, 02:06:30 PM Goofs mar Palin's Reagan college tribute, legal fund appeal
Following in others' grand tradition of demonstrating gaps in knowledge while addressing a university, Sarah Palin told a crowd at a fundraiser at California State University in Stanislaus last weekend that Ronald Reagan, personal hero and inspiration, was a California college graduate. She told the cheering crowd: "This is Reagan country, and perhaps it was destiny that the man who went to California's Eureka College would become so woven within and interlinked to the Golden State." There's just one problem here: Reagan went to Eureka College in Illinois from 1928 to 1932, the Alaska Dispatch reports. He didn't move to California until five years after his graduation. There's no Eureka College in California (though there's a town of Eureka that has a College of the Redwoods nearby)... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100629/pl_ynews/ynews_pl2928 (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100629/pl_ynews/ynews_pl2928) Title: Re: Goofs mar Palin's Reagan college tribute, legal fund appeal Post by: Nukie 2 on June 29, 2010, 02:38:46 PM Well at least the turning in Ronald Reagan's grave will not cause an earthquake in California also dubbed as "Reagan Country".
