The truth is, we could write 1000 blog posts about the unintelligent and ignorant things said by Sarah Palin during her few short months on the national stage. She has aptly demonstrated her own lack of intellectual capital time and again. So while some of the latest revelations coming to light now that the campaign is over are not completely shocking, this latest is simply incomprehensible.
Check out this report from Carl Cameron from inside the McCain camp (via Andrew Sullivan). Apparently, not only did Palin NOT know which countries made up the North American Free Trade Agreement, she also was under the impression Africa was a country, not a continent.
No one should require any further proof that this sham of a Vice Presidential pick was absolutely not vetted, and was a cynical and selfish pandering ploy on the part of the McCain campaign.
What do you think it says about Alaska that their governor couldn’t have passed my high school civics class? What does it say about all the GOP and Conservative pundits who have been telling us Sarah Palin is the future star of the Republican party?
