What was incorrect about Palin's Paul Revere statements?

She was caught off guard and never expected that question. I have never heard any member of the Press ask another Political candidate anything like what the Press asked Palin. Anybody asked President Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton the off the wall stuff that the Press asked Palin like the Ride of Paul Revere, no chance. It is never about policy and social issues, it is what is the life expectancy of the South Carolina sand flea, and when she flubs it, they make fun of her, like she is an idiot, which is why she will continue to have a strong following, no one likes a bully.
