Renowned for its investigative journalism into girls’ high school basketball in Alaska, The Canadian Press has uncovered a blatant lie in Governor Sarah Palin’s (R-AK) alleged biography. (via Dime)
Team Palin has long held that she was critical to helping her squad win the state title, as she calmly, cooly and collectedly stepped to the line in the closing seconds and iced the game with a pair of free-throws. New revelations, however, show that she actually missed the back end of the one-and-one.
Palin’s biography omits her missed shot and neglects to mention that the game was never really in doubt after halftime.
Equally troubling is that, if you take this other quote from the article completely out of context, she not only lied about hitting both shots, she sorta almost implies that she’s proud of having misled the American public about her clutchness.
“I’ve said this before, that everything I ever needed to know I learned on the basketball team,” [Palin] said.
In the end, sure, her team still won 58-53, but none of that changes the fact that (A) she only managed to score one single point in an entire girls’ basketball game, (B) that aint change; that’s more of the same, and (C) Sarah Barracuda is full of shit. Moose shit.
