Can I just say, "bullet dodged"? Surely... surely this can't be totally true. Still, FOX News is reporting it about Palin so you'd think they would try to make excuses if they could. Maybe it's more true that FOX prefers the sensational to the partisan.
Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron appeared on The O'Reilly Factor tonight and described in much fuller detail the truly astonishing behavior, and lack of knowledge, of Sarah Palin on the campaign trail, as well as the nasty infighting that resulted from, some would say, Palin's "diva" behavior. (Earlier today, Palin said reports of her "diva" behavior and any tension within the campaign were "absolutely false.")
Cameron relates how McCain aides were terrified of Palin's lack of knowledge of international and national issues, and even basic civics. Cameron reports that Palin was unfamiliar with the concept of "American exceptionalism," and that not only did she not understand that Africa was a continent rather than a single country but also that during debate prep Palin was unable to name all the nations in North America.

And I thought the report that her clothing spending was tens of thousands beyond the originally-reported $150k, and that she was making aides put clothing purchases on their credit cards was interesting. A campaign spokesperson denied that she made them put clothes on their credit cards, and then exposed the lie by going on to explain that aides were reimbursed for any purchases put on their cards. That is hard to fathom. The 2nd Grade civics and geography aptitude blows that out of the water. I'm going to have this information on speed-dial. I can't wait until the next person tries to convince me that she would have made a good VP. Luckily, we DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT!

Idiot. Hopefully people will remember this in 4 years if she runs again...
