I really wish there were some sort of objective and reliable recording of what happened some of the stuff reported about Palin. It's certainly possible that I've just been giving Palin way too much credit, but some of the accusations this week are really mind boggling. I'd love to know if they really happened and if so, what context they occurred in.
Did she really not know the countries in North American or did she wonder if somehow other countries were included in NAFTA? (It would be goofy still, but sometimes the names we give to organizations that seem geographic aren't really limited that way and maybe she was afraid she missed coverage of other countries in the Americas joining the agreement. I don't know. If she lives in Alaska, how could she not know Canada was involved and how could anyone not know Mexico was involved? It's actually mind boggling.) Did she misspeak about Africa or really not know it was a continent? It's one thing to be kind of dumb, but it would seem really almost impossible that one could be a college graduate and be that bad off.
