1) did not know which countries are in North America and
2) did not know that Africa was a continent, but rather was under the impression that it was one large country (of which South Africa was the southern part. You know, like South Bronx or East Los Angeles).
At first, I thought these allegations must be false; this simply couldn't be possible. No one with a formal education thinks that Africa is a country after 2nd grade.
Almost immediately after hearing this news I went and asked a host of my adult friends whether Africa was a continent or a country.
Astonishingly, one guy actually answered incorrectly, and when told it's actually a continent, he couldn't name one country within Africa. But, keep in mind, this is a guy who writes text messages to the effect of "I AM GO TONIT R U. ANSWER?" and hurls classic fighter jets of razor wit such as "Oh yea? Well you don't have dick, you have pu-nanny!"
No, certainly any grown person who is elected governor of a state and nominated for Vice President couldn't be amiss of the little tidbit that Africa has many countries in it.
I was SURE that this MUST be something hatched by the McCain campaigners and/or Fox News to protect the Republican party, divert blame to make her seem more responsible for the landslide loss and preserve Republican credibility. Sorry, we picked a retard, but hey, don't we look that much doper by comparison now?
However..
Check out the
Sarah Palin Is a Moron Series on Youtube. She really has me wondering.
Seriously, folks (who read this), check out this series. She spectacularly fails at answering such questions as "which newspapers do you read" and "name a single Supreme Court case".
Just for purposes of efficiency, before I say what I think about her speaking style, here's a choice selection:
Check out Anderson Cooper's face. If CNN had Palin to do his job they'd jump out of their towering office buildings before she got through her first sentence fragment. Her speeches make my and Anderson's brows furrow like baboons'. When I watch Sarah Palin talk, I like to imagine her trying to define the word "Concise".
"Concise is a word that I have experience with from my years as governor. Concise is a good thing because it brings about changes in a positive direction and it has the capacity, of course, to resolve many unwanted problems and there have been those who've tried to attack my concise and it's strange I don't recall but I stand firm. What this means before is up in Alaska, concise was and still is important to me - I would mainly focus on the conciseness within our own community and then that will soon cause expansion of the new energy into a wonderful pretty economic strong democratic efforts to preserve American family values and also new ideas, new energy, new panties, and structures November January flapjack Hassellhoff strong feelings of promise for tomorrow."
I think a cat named antijake said it the very best:
(Sarah Palin) reminds me of the student who, when confronted with an essay question on the exam that he knows nothing about, starts writing about whatever pops into his head that might be remotely related. he keeps writing and writing, hoping that if he just puts enough words down, the answer might be discovered amongst them.

I'm informed that in the bidness they call this "deflection".
This nominalization, however, would be a pebble in an Egyptian pyramid of trying to convey how The Palin dazzlingly impales herself on the most elementary of questions.
Did this woman know that Africa was a continent? Probably. I don't know.
In any case, I'm glad this genius is not next in line to be the Prezzy behind a septuagenarian liable to fold over with a coronary during his morning bacon.
Congratulations
