Sarah Palin thought Africa was a country

ABSOLUTELY DUMB AS FUCKING DOG SHIT!

Those republitards who are spruiking Sarah Plain.. give it up fuckwits, your 
goose is cooked! I had no issues with John McCain, in fact I think he's a 
morally decent and respectable individual, but Sarah Palin has really come 
off to me as obnoxious airhead with nothing but hate, catch phrases and 
stupidity.

John McCain should never have let the stupid mole derail his campaign and 
you Republi-fuckers shouldn't have embarrassed yourselves by trying to 
deflect criticism of her stupidity.

I thought from the outset the selection of Sarah Palin as a vice president

figured it was always going to upset the the independent voters see here. A 
quote from my September 2 blog:
And as soon as I heard news of the Palin pick my gut reaction was that 
McCain had blown the election. Gut reaction. Could be wrong. Sure, Palin is 
exciting for the conservative base but I suspect it loses McCain a lot of 
independents who he is relying on to win.

Political campaigns are about hitting a simple, clear message repeatedly. 
Obama's amorphous change mantra might just be warmed over 
liberal/progressive policies but he has tapped into something and he has not 
deviated from that message in 18 months. McCain's campaign, frankly, has 
been all over the shop.

But now we get this from Fox News ... that Palin apparently didn't even know 
which countries were in NAFTA and that Africa was the name of a country not 
a continent. Fox says this is just part of an avalanche of criticism that is 
coming, the following is pretty extraordinary stuff:
