WEALTHY MEDIA STAR: ALL THOSE COAL STATES LOOK ALIKE TO ME

Multi-millionaire television personality and sometime politician Sarah Palin apparently can't tell all those states full of blue-collar workers apart:

Pennsylvania voters can't afford cap and trade legislation, says Sarah Palin. And that's why they need to send Republican John Raese to the Senate.

Except that John Raese is the Republican nominee in West Virginia.

You can see a screenshot of the original tweet and subsequent corrected tweet here.

Well, we probably shouldn't blame just the multi-millionaire pundit/author/reality star. It's widely known that Palin, like many celebrities, has people to do the scut work of writing her tweets, primarily Rebecca Mansour, founder of the blog Conservatives4Palin. Mansour has been a consultant and was a screenwriter; she lives in Los Angeles, where, I'm told, very little coal is mined.
