"Me a professor? Who in their right mind would try to learn anything from me?" |
This is how the humor site started off their article:
Former Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin has joined Harvard University as a visiting scholar.
According to an official press release, the conservative pundit and reality television star will teach four courses over three years at Harvard's prestigious Kennedy School of Government in Cambridge, Mass., beginning in fall 2013.
The transition to academia comes just weeks after Palin was unceremoniously released form her contract at Fox News, which had served as her primary source of income since 2009.
The former Alaskan governor will focus her classes on topics close to her heart, including the war on terror, welfare reform, U.S. evangelicals, and oil and gas development.
Sarah Palin teaching a class in U.S. Evangelicals or welfare reform? How could ANYBODY not know that was ridiculous?
Well as Mediaite reports there have already been a few that rose to he bait:
This story has already tricked TIME Magazine writer/editor Bobby Ghosh, who sent out the link via his Twitter account noting “No, this NOT from The Onion.”
It sure isn’t Mr. Ghosh – it’s Daily Currant! Ghosh has since deleted the tweet, but one of his 5,000+ followers immortalized it in a retweet:
You know the problem with Sarah Palin is that she is such a walking and talking parody of herself that it makes it almost impossible to tell where the incidental humor ends and the purposeful humor begins.
Sarah Palin teaching at Harvard. The day that happens pigs will be flying all over the skies of Wasilla.
