If the reports are true from Fox News (it would be a first), on top of everything else we have already heard about Palin's total ignorance of life outside of Alaska, she also didn't know Africa was a continent and didn't know the names of the nations of North America (shocking, particularly given that she bordered one of them and was a state of another, needing just one more to get the answer right!).

To select Palin knowing as little about her as McCain knew, and then to continue on with her on the ticket, knowing full well that she was totally incompetent to be vice-president, let alone president, is an act of political malpractice. What happened to the guy who would "put his country first, even if it costs him an election?" That sure isn't what seems to have happened with Palin, assuming Fox isn't just making stuff up again.
