Palin Wrong About Harry Potter

By GottaLaff

Another "oy" moment from you-know-who:

In an interview, Gov. Sarah Palin took issue with reports during the presidential campaign that she encouraged banning books as Mayor of Wasilla, Alaksa.

Said Palin: "That was a ridiculous thing also that could have so easily been corrected just by a reporter taking an extra step and not basing a report on gossip or speculation. But just looking into the record. It was reported that I tried to ban Harry Potter when it hadn't even been written when I was the mayor."

Of course, Palin became mayor of Wasilla in 1996 and the first Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, was published in 1998 during her first term.

Ready? One, two three: Oy.

Bonus quote:

"It's amazing that we did as well as we did."
