now if she could just learn that South Africa is not a region in the country of Africa.

kinda funny how the McCain campaign is throwing her under the bus.

A 4-year-old knows Africa is a continent. How can you take anything the McCain camp says about Palin with anything but a grain of salt? There were burnt bridges.

Would I want her as my president? No, because I don't share a lot of her views. I also think she lacks the foreign knowledge needed. However, she seems like a good leader and worker for the people of Alaska.

Hearing her unscripted interviews though, I have to say that just hearing her off-the-cuff (as opposed to the McCain Campaign's leash) is very refreshing and respectable.

Give her a week or so and she can probably run across the whole country of Africa. Maybe even stop off for lunch in that South African "region" of the country.

and this is true.

Do you know what Sarah Palin dressed up her baby for as Halloween? Dumbo

better than dressing him up as genghis khan

i bet it would take her even longer to run across all 57 states also

that was a verbal gaffe. I'm sure he knows there's 50 states now Palin....not so sure on that Africa comment

I think you have to be pretty dumb to believe that she actually thought Africa was a country, not a continent. mccain's camp is just trying to shift the blame onto her because it's a pretty easy target and the media will swallow it up

A little common sense is always refreshing.

Why couldn't it have been a verbal gaffe like Obama's 57 states, just blown out of proportion by McCain campaign aides wanting to blame someone else for the loss rather than themselves?

Edit: Haven't we all accidentally called continents countries before? We know what we mean, but sometimes it just slips out.

I just think its more likely when you consider the performance of Palin in her interview with Couric. Read a transcript on the part when she starts talking about housing. makes zero sense.

dolphin...there's a difference between talking about housing and knowing Africa is a continent, which we all learned before we got to 1st grade. C'mon.

I just don't get how the fuck senior McCain aides would sit around and devise a plot and say, "hey, let's tell the media she thought South Africa was just a region in the country of Africa"

cuz we don't get any of it when willy's posting.

The most amusing part is that even if this is all true, doesn't that still make his campaing the morons for picking her?

He ran a bad campaign in a bad year to be a republican and had the media against him(at historic levels IMO).

I also thought Africa was a country! I wasn't born yet, but hey she's from Alaska

I'd let her slob on my knob anytime

Her daughter looks like a freak too, having kids at 12 or 13 years of age...

OH BABY I LIKE IT RAW, HO BABY I LIKE IT RAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Maybe while she learns about sout africa Obama can learn there are only 50 states not 57 and biden can learn his former presidents
