Standing in front of the American Museum of Natural History with the statue of Theodore Roosevelt sitting astride a steed:
8TH GRADER FROM TEXAS: Theodore Roosevelt was a PRESIDENT?!
ROBERT: Yes! He was one of the most important. He was a two-term, almost three...he's on Mount Rushmore!
8TH GRADER FROM TEXAS: Oh, I thought he was just the guy on the horse.
ROBERT: A Rough Rider?
8TH GRADER FROM TEXAS: I thought he was the one who rode the horse to warn the British.
ROBERT: Do you mean Paul Revere?
8TH GRADER FROM TEXAS: Oh, yeah.
ROBERT: And he didn't warn the British...he warned...never mind, I don't know where to start.
The funniest (or most terrifying) thing is that this group met Sarah Palin on Liberty Island and Sarah Palin also just went on record in Boston saying (or blundering) that Paul Revere warned the British too.
