Can I get a link? This sounds juicy.
She didn't know africa was a continent....and you know what Bill O Reilly had to say...
"Well she can be tutored."
This guy serious?
and EDIT* i just heard this....
She would through such huge tantrums after she would read her reviews and such that she would bring the people around her to tears.
It seems that that tension they were talking about was worse than we thought.
The mccain staff seems to be revealing everything about her now...

btw, Shep Smith has been launching them out of the park this past week.
Not removing her after you knew all this and spewing "country first" really makes me think extremely lowly of John McCain. I don't believe there ever was a 2000 John McCain. It was just a creation for politics.
Whott, you picked a real winner here. Man, her career is over. I gotta admit it's shady the way McCain is making her the scapegoat, even though she was devastating to his campaign. In the end, the Mack still picked her and should share some of the responsibility for the train-wreck of a campaign he ran.

I'm happy to see her foreign policy experience helped her figure out who participates in NAFTA and that Africa is a continent.
Listen, if you are going to believe she didn't know africa was a continent because some anonymous people are trying to cover their ass after running an absolutely ty campaign then you only need to look into the mirror to see stupid.
Do y'all really believe all this?
Several of the McCain campaign staffers are Romney guys. Hmm, now why would a couple of unnamed McCain staffers ever want to make a potential candidate for the 2012 nomination not named Romney look bad?
Yeah because people make like that up.
"How do we make her seem really stupid?"
"We could say she doesn't know who the Prime Minister of England is."
"No that's too hard. Some citizens might not even know that."
"How about we say she doesn't know Africa is a continent?"
"...I think you're on to something."
It's not much of a stretch with the intellect she showed in the Gibson and Couric interviews.
The gory truth might well be stranger than fiction in this case. As Einstein said "two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe"
America dodged a bullet in this election.
So more got'cha journalism?
Apparently Snakeboy and Anti.Hero can't hold two thoughts in their head at the same time: campaign staffers are trying to cover their asses for a ty campaign, AND Sarah Palin is frightfully ignorant.
paging whottt....comeon at least have the guts to show up here after we told you so everytime.
When your own candidate says that i can't imagine how your feeling now
Oh and props to pixelpusher for posting the right vid![]()
Has there ever been another VP candidate have to apologize for costing her ticket votes?![]()
My thought is the McCain campaign was probably hoping it would turn out like it did for Bush Sr in 88 with "Mr Potatoe". She cost him waaay more than one vote.
This was off the record until after the Election. Which means McCain could have won last night, and this would be coming out. We would be finding out that our VP-elect doesn't know Africa is a continent. Can you imagine?
Of course, as I've said before, I've always been skeptical that Palin was actually intended to be the VP anyway. True or not, this could have been a strategic move to have her replaced before McCain took office. A story like this about the person this country had just elected VP would have been enormous, and probably enough to make her resign in humiliation.
I usually don't subscribe to theories like this but the very selection of Palin was enough to make me question how far politicians will go to win an election.
Whichever scenario is true... whether Palin really is this dumb or whether this was a pre-fabricated lie intended to push her out of the VP spot, it's unforgivable.
At least she knows how many states there are...
He was in the tank for Obama all along...so was O'Reilly.
In some ways, the fact that it's plausible (and it is) makes the truth irrelevant.
I thought you left
Looks like you thought wrong.
