Fox News: Palin Didn't Know Africa is a Continent

Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron appeared on The O'Reilly Factor tonight and described in much fuller detail the truly astonishing behavior, and lack of knowledge, of Sarah Palin on the campaign trail, as well as the nasty infighting that resulted from, some would say, Palin's "diva" behavior. (Earlier today, Palin said reports of her "diva" behavior and any tension within the campaign were "absolutely false.")
Cameron relates how McCain aides were terrified of Palin's lack of knowledge of international, national, and even basic civic issues. Cameron reports that Palin was unfamiliar with the concept of "American exceptionalism," and that not only did she not understand that Africa was a continent rather than a single country but also that during debate prep Palin was unable to name all the nations in North America.
Palin was apparently a nightmare for her campaign staff to deal with. She refused preparation help for her interview with Katie Couric and then blamed her staff, specifically Nicole Wallace, when the interview was rightly panned as a disaster. After the Couric interview, Palin turned nasty with her staff and began to accuse them of mishandling her. Palin would view press clippings of herself in the morning and throw "tantrums" over the negative coverage. There were times when she would be so nasty and angry that her staff was reduced to tears...

you should have just posted

john mccain is a fvcking moron!!!!


Seriously knowing all this shit, they still wanted to sell this bitch as VP material?

Should Mccain and Cameron be put on trial for putting the country under serious jeoopardy or some other made up law?

 

[DeathEatsaCracker]

I have a feeling this is just the beginning.

"Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast"

LOL

sarah palin is the comedic gift that just keeps giving.

yes
stupid old man

 

[artiesliver]

Cost him the election.

 

[barman]

As OReilly wryly concluded, "Well somewhere in there, there's a book for someone"

I have a feeling that the "insider" accounts of the final two months of McCain/Palin will help assure that Sarah never revisits the lower 48 again in her lifetime.

Come on...anybody that believes this stuff word for word is a moron.

The knives are out on the losing side...somebody has to be the fall guy.

There is no evidence it cost McCain the election.

VP's just aren't that important. They just aren't.

 

[TTinCO]

hno: So who's dumber-her or McCain for selecting her as VP?

I'd have to say that they're both f'ing retarded.

 

[artiesliver]

I can't believe there are actually people out there, such as my boss, who feel she is the future of the GOP.

 

[gtc08]

she's dumber. i can understand why mccain did it. he needed a hail mary. he thought females would vote for him because he selected a female. he forgot about selecting a halfway capable female, just got the female part down.

She didn't cost him the election, because he was gonna lose anyway, but she sure was an embarrassment. You betcha!

This is the thing that befuddles the hell out me. He picked a woman who was guranteed to send all the Clinto women running straight into the arms of Obama.

Seriously if he picks Carly Fiorina he would have taken a huge chunk of that 18 million voter chunk for Clinton.
The woman is smart and once headed HP, she had run a business before and would have been a great sale in the collapsing economy. He could have picked the lady governor from texas but what does the moron do?

He picks a complete retard to appease people who would have voted for him any way because they cant stand to have a black guy in power. (in all honesty that was the entire Palin crowd. Dumb ass retards that wouldnt know what socialism if it bit them in the arse

It was almost as though he was mocking women every where. (at least those with a brain and an education)


I am still laughing at those dumb fools who think this woman will even get an invite back to the next RNC convention. (honestly i wish she would some how forest gump it and become a voice in the republican party..BUt that is a pipe dream i know would never happen because she would effectively kill the republicans, if they are not dead yet)

Losing an election is not the worst that could happen. Losing an election and damaging your party is a horrible thing to do. Especially when you could have run with some one more competent and help them learn the ropes so as to have a shot in 2012,

 

[Illini]

She is one dumb broad, but I think we all knew that already.

 

[codeworks]

This lady will not be able to run for President after McCain insiders and reporters that traveled with her unload all their stories about her, hell she may be run out of Alaska and have to move to her neighboring country Russia.

Same thing the dumb asses tried to say about Reagan...now he's going on Mount Rushmore.

I think the left has a pretty bad record in this regard.

The smears look bush league.

I'm pretty sure RR knew Africa is a continent.

And it isnt the left doing the smearing genious, it's the republicans.

Unless of course...its not true.

And you are just being a useful idiot for the people wanting to smear her...because it covers up their own lack of a campaign.

Geezus...lap more shit up...just because it was printed some where.

You honestly think she doesn't have a side to this story?

Ever get a new job where jealous people try to back stab you?

Happens every day Funk...come on.

This sillyness deserves an entry on Snopes as well.

True that more than a few folks tried to rally support for such an absurd addition to the great Mt Rushmore back in 1999, but after starting out slow, it pretty much then fizzled out entirely.
