PALIN DIDN'T KNOW AFRICA WAS A CONTINENT

Hey, remember when John McCain defended Sarah Palin again and again as being "ready" to take over as President? Remember when the public was starting to get the idea that Palin wasn't so smart about world affairs, but right-wingers called it "gotcha journalism"? Remember when conservative journalists were being blasted by the right-wing for criticizing Palin's intellect? Well, it turns out that not only were we right - but we didn't even know the HALF OF IT?!

Here's a segment where Carl Cameron lets the public in on the "super secretive" world of the McCain Campaign following Sarah Palin's selection. And remember, it was Cameron who followed the campaign - and this interview is taking place on Fox News of all places:

I truly believe that these types of revelations will hurt John McCain way more than the unseemly negative campaigning we saw in the last few weeks. After all, McCain was talked into selecting Palin after only a brief meeting, he backed her after knowing her lack of knowledge on important issues, and he (and his campaign) sought to deceive voters through limiting her contact with the media.

County first? Yeah, right.
