From Andrew Sullivan, who has created a very busy beat for himself tracking Sarah Palin’s lies:
From a speech delivered at the International Bowl Expo in Las Vegas yesterday:
Palin recalled her youth when her father set pins in Idaho. “My Dad was on a Thursday night bowling league,” she said. “He bonded with his buddies. I have memories of that point of my life which mean very, very much to me.”
She must have been quite a precocious little thing because:
Palin was three months old when she left Idaho.Maybe there’s some explanation for this that I don’t know of yet. But the truth is: Palin constantly makes stuff up to appeal to whatever audience she is in front of.
Update: Here’s more that confirms that Palin said she remembered living in Idaho:
Here’s the link to the initial account from a reporter who was in the room. He wrote, “Palin recalled her youth when her father set pins in Idaho,” and that she said, “My Dad was on a Thursday night bowling league. He bonded with his buddies. I have memories of that point of my life which mean very, very much to me.”
And this is from the event host’s news release after the speech:
During her keynote speech, Palin spoke of the societal influence of bowling that spans generations of American life. Professing a personal appreciation for the bowling industry, Palin also noted that, during his high school years, her father Chuck Heath Sr. worked as a pin boy and that she herself has fond childhood memories of watching him play in this Thursday night bowling league.
