Stupid Sarah Palin at it again

(I'm no fan of Dan Quayle by any means, but this story about the "potatoe" (SIC) incident is one I never heard before)

Working from a placard, Quayle corrected one sixth-grader by telling him to add an "e" to "potato." Journalists gleefully noted the spelling misteak. And Quayle's dunce hat was glued in place.

Trouble is, that mis-spelled placard was actually written out by the classroom teacher herself, either through her own ignorance or, a few suspect, some sly political set-up. Quayle knew he hadn't written it and thought the error was the point of the lesson.

And because the classroom spelling bit was a last-minute addition, aides who would have foreseen the everlasting damage of their boss inexplicably adding a mistake to a student's work did not know what the placard said. Quayle subsequently forbade them from explaining the error to the media, for fear of embarrassing the teacher.

"spelling misteak" ???

But I digress. What's worse--being unable to spell "potato" or thinking that the current year is 2008 instead of 2011?
