Palin didn't know Africa was a continent

Or the countries in NAFTA. Apparently a couple things the media wanted to hide from us until after the election.

Video at the link.

The effort within the McCain campaign’s upper ranks to pin Sen. John McCain’s loss of the presidential election on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is now in full swing, and Fox News’ Carl Cameron eagerly plays the gossip columnist.

On “Fox Report” last night with Shephard Smith, Cameron said he learned during the campaign that many within the McCain team were concerned that Palin “lacked the degree of knowledgeability” to be a heartbeat away from the presidency — but agreed not to report the details until the after the election.

Among the things she didn’t know, according to Cameron, were the names of all the countries in the North American Free Trade Agreement (United States, Canada and Mexico) and that Africa was a continent and not a country. Cameron also said Palin was prone to temper tantrums, and he later told Bill O’Reilly that Palin, at times, almost reduced her staff to tears.

Let's not overlook that most people think that America is only the US. With that, it`s not unreasonable for people to link the country of south africa with africa in the same manner

um, well, "america" most commonly does refer to, um, america. but this does nothing to say that many/most are unaware that there is this place called "north america" that includes kanada (and mexico and the pipsqueeky little countries in central 'merica), and that there's a place called "south america" that includes a few little shitcan dictators and a lotta super hot but often disease ridden brazilian chicks.

only a true ignoramus thinks africa is a country.

quit making excuses for the twit.

I'm not making excuses for anyone. Merely pointing out that her lack of knowledge isn't all that remarkable.

okay.

this reinforces what i've argued, which is that it's really not the best idea to elect someone like her, who knows little about the world outside her own poo poo patch, to an important position.
