This must sting a bit. Sarah Palin's newest conspiracy theory on the "disturbing" redesign of U.S. coins was too much, even for Fox News - on Tuesday night, Fox fact-checked Palin.
Last Friday, Palin, the erstwhile former neighbor of Russia who believes that humans roamed with the dinosaurs a mere six thousand years ago, rolled out her latest conspiracy theory, this time on the redesign of U.S. coins. Palin waded into the subject by remarking that there had been a lot of "change" of late, for example, the redesign of U.S. currency which moved the once-centered text "In God We Trust" to the edge of coins.
"Who calls a shot like that?" Palin demanded on Friday. "Who makes a decision like that?"
As Fox News anchor Bret Baier noted: President Bush, that's who.
Baier commented on the not-so-hidden subtext of Palin's speech: "Unsaid but implied was that the new Democratic White House was behind such a move to secularize the nation's currency." Baier added: "In actuality the coin's design was commissioned in 2005, when Republicans controlled congress, and then was approved by then President Bush."
WIIIILLLLLLLMMMMAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
