Sarah Palin needs to watch what she say's. This is what the media is waiting on so they can get ammunition to go after her and that she is inexperienced to be president.

[omega4179]

It is too late. She can’t get away with stuff like “my Muslim faith” and “57 states”

[drypowder]

RECORDED interview: OBOZO proclaimed his Muslim faith. I don’t think he miss spoke but clearly Sarah did. It happens.

[nhwingut]

The RomneyRovebots have hijacked this thread. Good night FR!

[FredZarguna]

What absolute crap. This is nothing more than an inadvertent substitution of North for South in the course of talking about a divided country, during an interview where the context from friend to foe changes quickly. It's about as meaningful as the occasional slip of Iraq for Iran and vice versa.

I understand Romney has never made a clearly unintentional slip-of-the-tongue.

Too bad he isn't going to get the nomination, either, so all you Palin bashers had better find yourselves a new boy pretty soon. Romney's current market share is 18%. That's also his ceiling. Bank on it.

I’m sure we do have allies in North Korea, but they are all in detention camps and prisons awaiting execution for political ‘thought crimes’ against dear leader.

[Recovering_Democrat]

57 states.

Austrian language.

10,000 dead in Kansas tornado.

I need a teleprompter everywhere I go, even talking to sixth graders.

TOTUS.

[denydenydeny]

The difference is, Obama really seems to believe that people in Austria speak Austrian.

[jgilbert63]

Next thing you know she’ll say we have 57 states... or make some stupid claim that people from Austria speak Austrian... or pronounce corpsman as ‘corpse-man’ instead of ‘core-man’.... or refer to the Chicago White Sox’s ‘Comiskey Park’ as ‘Cominski Field’... or refer to the Penn State ‘Nittany Lions’ as ‘Nitally Lions’.

[traditional1]

Yeah; her EVERY word is being peddled by the SRM to all 57 States.....

[DeusExMachina05]

She can Tweet her retraction. The Palinista’s will lap it all up.

Please, please..don’t run for President Ms. Palin.

[DWar]

It's impossible to speak as many times a week and in as many places as she does without an inadvertant gaffe. The way to handle it is when attacked for it she should address it head on:

"For my opponents and those in the press trying to blow it all out of proportion in order to sell their product and ad space I say it was merely a slip of the tongue. I know our ally is South Korea just as Barak Obama knows there are only 50 states not "57 with one more to go". So when it comes to discussions as serious as possible war in the Far East or who might be the next President I also say ...

Grow up and act like an American instead of a yellow journalist."

[yield 2 the right]

And thus is the end of the Palin Family’s time in the limelight.

[truthguy]

Everybody makes these types of slip ups all the time. I think that nearly everyone knows this. I've made mistakes like this so many times I've lost count. This is why I didn't think we should have jumped on Obama when he said that he was campaigning in 57 states. The notion that he didn't know there were 50 states and not 57 is asinine. So I don't think any sane person would think she doesn't know that North Korea isn't an ally. If the media overdoes it, then this will hurt them. The is much to do over nothing.

[LaybackLenny]

FINALLY...the PROOF I've been searching for that Palin is in reality a Communist RINO who has just been saying patriotic SOUNDING stuff to ingratiate herself with the hicks and rubes in the heartland, and ultimately is committed to winning the Presidency and immediately turning the US over to Fidel Castro.

FINALLY! Can we all now agree that we must stop Palin and her RINO supporters like Michele Bachmann at all costs?

(Do I REALLY have to add the "/sarc"?)

[PowerPro]

You can’t be serious.

I heard this and recognized it for the simple verbal slip-up it was.

Yes... of course the left will use anything she says against her. But for those on the right to elevate this honest verbal gaffe as some sort of evidence against her is just silly.

[Cheetahcat]

Nice try Mitt BOT!!!

[SubMareener]

WOW! This is really an important indication of qualification for President of the United States! We can't have anyone who misspeaks, “57 states” comes to mind, as President!

[RocketRoland]

She needs to tell them she was so busy visiting the 56 States she had not heard what was happening over there.

[SeattleBruce]

“Sarah Palin needs to watch what she say’s.” (sic)

You mean ‘says’. But you’re right. Sarah Palin will be held to the Dan Quayle standard and not the barack obummer standard.

In her defense, she and the commentator said North Korea, 3 times before she made the mistake.

But hey the liberal wacko propagandists can just chalk it up to her being from the 57th state - a way out in the tundra.

[nomad]

And Obozo thinks there are 57 states,which is worse?
