Andrew Sullivan relays news that in her book Sarah Palin attributes the following to famed UCLA basketball coach John Wooden.
“Our land is everything to us… I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land. We remember our grandfathers paid for it–with their lives.”
A fine quote. Just one problem. It isn’t Wooden’s. It is actually a quote from John Wooden Legs, a Cheyenne Indian, in an essay “Back on the War Ponies.”
So Sarah Palin’s ghost writer is as dumb as Sarah Palin.
