Palin Robocalls Wrong State

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that robocalls made by Sarah Palin to influence the outcome of the Republican U.S. Senate primary in Texas were actually going to voters in Kansas.

Said Palin: "Hello, Texas! I'm Sarah Palin."

Palin is backing Ted Cruz (R) in the May 29 primary that includes David Dewhurst (R) and Tom Leppert (R).

I can't imagine what it's like to pick up the phone and hear that voice.

It's not like she was placing the calls personally. She does enough real dumb shit on her own, do we need to engage in right wing style, no substance attacks?

but birds of a feather flock together and some dodo she is flocking with did arrange for those calls to be placed to those numbers.

But it wasn't her. It's just silly to blame her for it or use it as a way to emphasize her idiocy. Doing so for such an easily refuted story allows her to legitimately claim persecution when she makes actual gaffes.

The right does this kind of shit. We have more than enough truth to nail them with.
