This is like those Quayle stories that circulated in the 1980s. Quayle knew they didn’t speak Latin in Latin America. Just as Palin knows Africa is a continent, not a country.
Good point. But were the Quayle stories circulated by campaign staff? That would be the difference. I don't buy this not knowing that Africa is a continent thing. It just seems too crazy. As for the NAFTA thing, I don't hold that against her. She wasn't up to speed on national issues. You can make a good argument that she is not currently ready to be president. But I think she could be ready. And more importantly, I admire her as a person. She's a good woman. Colin Powell was at least right on that point: she is a distinguished woman.
I am very impressed at how graciously she handled herself. She didn't whine, though she did towards the end fight back against the smears on her record.
“This is like those Quayle stories...”
Excellent point and exactly. That was when we were (at least I was) ignorant of what the MSM was doing. Now, after the event Rush, about half of us are on to them.
