A "Special" test for Sarah

Poor Sarah. First Katie Couric blindsides her with that question about the Supreme Court and then just recently in Boston a mean-spirited reporter asked her a question about Paul Revere.

Her answer was so convoluted that it ended up sounding like Paul Revere was actually warning the British!

But, hey, that aside, it just doesn't seem right. The poor woman can't get a break. The press is always gunning for her.

So in the interest of fair play and all that, I have taken the liberty of composing a 10 question history test just for Sarah that I think the press should stick to.

Come on. What's fair is fair! Here it is:

1. When was the war of 1812?

2. Where did the Battle of Gettysburg take place?

3. There are three branches of government-the executive, the legislative and… What is the third? HINT: They work in the Supreme Court Building

4. Who was the losing general in Custer’s Last Stand?

5. In the Civil War who was the general leading the ill-fated Pickett’s Charge?

6. In what country was the American Civil War fought?

7. Washington D.C. was named after a president. Which one?

8. Which “Day” was the the Normandy Invasion of WW II nicknamed (multiple choice-pick one): A, B, C, D, Tuesday?

9. The preamble of the constitution begins “We the people”. Who are the “people” it is referring to?

10. The year 1929 marks the start of The Great_______. Fill in the blank. Hint: Many people were thrown into a “Depression” because of it.

Bet she would only get 3-4 correct!

What a ditz!

And to think the press is making a big deal about her meeting with Trump (intimating that she might be considered as his running mate).

OMG....that thought makes me ill!

Actually, Pickett did not lead the cgarge the last day at Gettysburg. Davis did. Pickett ordered the charge under superior orders and watched from the rear.
