[Tammy8]

Well if true she didn’t know Africa is a continent- what is the problem? The man who was actually elected thinks we have 57 states.

As for prep for the Katie interview- I thought Sarah did better before the McCain campaign started messing with her.

Glenn Beck played a voice mail he received from Sarah just a few weeks ago. She wanted to come on the show and talk to him and the american people. left him Todd’s cell phone number and apologized that the McCain handlers had not called to set up an interview.

She made excuses that they must have been too busy.

Sounds to me like she had been set up by these (ROMNEY?) staffers. McCains crew were probably sabotaging him (McCain) too. At first I didn’t believe that the Romney guys were starting all of these rumors but now, it kind of makes sense.

the Katie interview

The interviews with Gibson and Katie were stupid. They should have started her out with a lot of radio interviews with friendlies and then moved into not-so-friendlies on radio. Then have here do short interviews with TV. So, these geniuses throw her right into the fire instead.

“Well if true she didn’t know Africa is a continent- what is the problem?”

The problem is that we would no want such as stupid and ignorant person as President! Too many Freepers treat any expectation of intelligence and knowledgability in Presidential candidates as a sign of “elitism”. It’s as if they want to live down to an epithet thrown at the Republican Party — the “stupid party”.

[Belasarius]

Well if true she didn’t know Africa is a continent- what is the problem? The man who was actually elected thinks we have 57 states. He also thought that we could go to the UN and do something about the Russian invasion of Georgia without realizing that Russia had a veto over anything the UN might do. An educated man who doesn't know how the UN works.....And doesn't seem to have much of a grasp of American history.

Oops..I just posted an article on this too. I was skeptical of the report as well until I considered the Couric interview:

1. Palin couldn’t name a single magazine that she reads. She could have just said Newsweek or the Time, or referred to some obscure local paper. But she froze like a deer on an absolutely innocuous question.
2. Palin had weeks to come up with a decent answer on being close to Russia and foreign policy. But again, she froze and gave some canned nonsensical response. Weeks of ridicule then ensued on something that could have been a strong asset for her.

I’m a big Palin fan, but that interview (even though COuric was rather obnoxious) gave me doubts about her smarts.
