Regarding another stinging criticism, Stapleton claims that the Fox News report Thursday -- that quoted unnamed sources inside the now defunct McCain campaign, saying Palin didn't know Africa is a continent -- was taken out of context.
Stapleton says that during a briefing session, someone asked Palin to explain the McCain-Palin stance on an issue, and as she was responding, "in the middle, she said, ‘country of Africa’ and somebody instantly wrote it down, and said, 'Oh, my God, she thinks it's a country.'"
But Stapleton insists, "She knows it's a continent. It was just a human mistake, just like Obama saying 57 states. I don't think anyone ever doubted that Obama knows there are 50 states."
Stapleton adds that a McCain-Palin campaign speechwriter was flown in to write a speech for Governor Palin to deliver Tuesday night after the election results were in. But after a discussion, aides decided Palin would not give a speech that evening -- only McCain would speak.
Stapleton says Palin didn't understand why they would bring in a speechwriter and then not use the speech they wrote for her which was complimentary of McCain.
They are poison.
Did Obama ever get attacked for mentioning that there are 57 states?
In case no one has noticed, Fox is no friend to conservatives/Republicans. Fox’s election coverage was atrocious and it was the network that called PA and OH early. Fox is the one trashing Sarah. Perhaps Fox needs some shunning to encourage it to wake up and smell the coffee.
And that was in public!
God only knows what he has said in his private sessions with Ayers, Rezko, or Wright.
What if she had said USA had 57 states?
And I don’t want to see anymore of these posts.
Sarah doesn't have to worry about Democrats and Democrats no longer have to worry about Sarah. Republicans will see to it she's ruined before any Democrat gets a chance.
The can all rot in Obama hell and if what I've read is true, that includes Mitt Romney.
I wonder if RINOs are harder to gut & skin than a moose or a grizzly bear? I’m guessing that Sarah would know.
Maybe Governor Palin was making a historical reference. After all, the Roman province of Africa became an independent country after its conquest by the Vandals in AD 430. It then became the semi-independent Exarchate of Africa following its reconquest by the Romans in 533 and remained so until the Arab conquest of 698.
McCain promised to “Name Names”. Well Johnny Boy, let’s have ‘em.
I have not heard of any of Bush’s staff ratting on a Republican. It does not look good for McCain to hire traitors.
County????????
This episode reminds me of a little urban legend about Bush. He once tried to say, “Are children learning?” But he mistakenly started with “is” instead of “are.” He immediately corrected himself, but it came out as, “Is ... Are children learning?”
Well, that sounded like, “Is our children learning?” From that day onward, morons on the left assumed that he doesn’t understand basic grammar and actually meant to say it that way. I even saw a bumper sticker mocking that supposed grammatical error recently.
Well there was that weenie, Scott McClelland....
Bush’s staff, I can’t think of his name but he just wrote a tell all book..
Thats Him
