Eureka! Sarah Palin doesn't have it.
Delivering a speech about Ronald Reagan to an audience at California State University, Stanislaus, over the weekend, the former Alaska governor made an unfortunate gaffe about where her political hero attended college.
"This is Reagan country," Palin told the crowd, "and perhaps it was destiny that the man who went to California's Eureka College would become so woven within and interlinked to the Golden State."
Apparently Palin didn't seem to realize that Reagan attended Eureka College in Eureka, Ill.
Palin's flub is reminiscent of the one made by NBC News host Ann Curry, when she confused the Wheaton College located in Illinois with the one in Massachusetts, where she was delivering a commencement address.
According to Politics Daily, Palin was paid $75,000 for her speech, which raised an estimated $200,000 for the school.
