Fox News: Sarah Palin didn't know Africa was a Continent

[Lunar]

People on the forum attacked me when I initially suggested that Palin might lack knowledge of some national and international issues (I initially gave the far more reasonable items of the difference between Sunnis and Shi'ites and Biden's plan of dividing Iraq into three countries).

Some of this is surely finger-pointing and sniping, but I feel vindicated (with Palin's initial shutout from the press the Couric interview confirming).

Crap, that Newsweek article is harsh.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I originally figured this thread was similar to Bush's rhetorical slip when he referred to Africa as a country, but Bush never actually thought that (he was just a poor speaker).  Very similar to Obama's "57 states" comment.

I wish I was a fly on the wall in the room though for that Palin comment.

That doesn't sound right since my understanding was that the whole dealio involved South Africa's status as a province or state.

besides, this is fodder and humor for us political junkies.  As long as it keeps rolling in, we'll keep it eating it up

Did anyone ever make a Bill & Monica pornography?  I mean, you could do Bill & Flowers, Bill & Hillary, Bill & Monica, and possibly one more before you even have to dip into fiction!

Maybe in the land of fruits and nuts.

Yeah Orange county, definitely the land of fruits and nuts. Anyways I would love for Palin to run in 2012 so you can see firsthand what kind of electoral crushing she would recieve.

....from that hatorade-drinking elite media!
