The song she’s referencing, of course, is West’s 2005 hit “Gold Digger” featuring Jamie Foxx—although the former Alaska governor inexplicably replaced the original lyrics (“you ain’t messin’ with no broke n****r) with “there’s a reason you messin’ with broke, broke, broke.”

Naturally, Twitter users were quick to comment on Palin’s pop-culture revisionism:

8. To be fair to Sarah Palin

Every time she's heard that song she's been really drunk.

11. rawstory also got the lyric wrong

It's "she ain't messin...''

I'm all for making fun of Sarah Palin, but it looks pretty dumb when you make the same mistake you're poking fun at.

15. As Tommy Smothers would say
