We’ve been sitting out today’s Palin Feeding Frenzy because we’re unsure about the quality of the meal. But if you’d like to taste it yourself, here’s what she said yesterday about Our Nation’s Founding Cookware Manufacturer:

He who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed.

Of course, Paul Revere didn’t warn the British — he warned the colonists about the British. And so, to quote Current TV’s new spokesblowhard, “That woman is an idiot.”

Except we like our Idiots to be a clean kill, and Palin’s message is so garbled, she may very well have been trying to say the right thing, but it just came out wrong. In our exacting editorial judgment, this doesn’t meet the high standards of “In what respect, Charlie?” and “[I read] all of them.” But you’re welcome to differ, because this is a Free Country, and we’re pretty sure you’re armed.

Capitol Hill. A congressional office. Marcia Kramer, a Comely Reporter for New York’s CBS 2, asks to speak to Randy Congresscritter Anthony Weiner. Brave Press Secretary David Arnold intercedes:

Kramer: “All I want is for him to say something to his constituents, the people who have to vote for him.”

Arnold: “I don’t think you can say he hasn’t said anything to his constituents. He spoke for nine hours yesterday.”

Kramer: “But not to anyone in New York. You know, this is the sort of in-the-bunker in the capitol, not to anyone in New York.”

What Comely Reporter Marcia Kramer doesn’t know is that Randy Congresscritter Anthony Weiner talked Wednesday night to Genial Mixologist Rachel Maddow, hosting from her spacious 30 Rock loft. But we’ll take Comely Reporter Marcia Kramer’s word that if CBS 2 doesn’t have it, it didn’t happen.

“Mediaite has learned that Glenn Beck’s last day on Fox News is currently scheduled to be June 30th. Fox News has confirmed this information to Mediaite.”

The problem with — must we? — Weinergate is that you have no choice but to take the Red Pill: the prosecution and the defense are equally absurd, and you’re down the Rabbit Hole before you know it, desperately craving a drink.

Case in point: a hypothesis humbly proposed yesterday — CASE CLOSED! CONGRESSMAN WEINER WAS FRAMED! — by blogger Joseph Cannon, who offered conclusive proof that not only was Weiner’s yfrog account hacked, but how.

And, after spending a half-hour following his steps to confirm the procedure, we suddenly realized that he’s full of shit.
