Interesting, but not surprising...
As the running mate with a potentially brighter political future, Palin has more at stake going forward than McCain, whose aides now have an interest in blaming outside factors for their loss, making Palin a tempting target.
...
Fox News reported Wednesday that Palin's lack of knowledge on certain topics also strained relations. Carl Cameron reported that campaign sources told him she had resisted coaching before her faltering Katie Couric interviews; did not understand that Africa was a continent, not a country; and could not name the three countries that are part of the North American Free Trade Agreement -- the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Ah yes, the ever-reliable "campaign sources said." It's bullshit -- snarky mean-girl he-said-she-said middle-school rumor-mongering bullshit, all of it. Unless I miss my guess, most of us learn the seven continents around fifth grade. And mark my words, Palin was no exception. You just don't get that far in life without that basic knowledge. It was bad enough to see the conservative intelligentsia dump on Sarahcuda the way they did, but this, this is just...despicable. Can you fucking believe these people? Damn them all. How the fuck many people do you think went to the polls voting for "Sarah Palin and that other guy?" I would lay money down that most of them did. Because let's face it, while McCain deserved respect for his service to our country, he would have been a piss-poor choice for President just like Barack Obama was and I guaran-damn-tee you he would have lost by an even bigger margin had it not been for Sarahcuda. I am still wondering why in the hell Fred Thompson didn't get any further than he did in the primaries....because while he had his flaws, he was a far, FAR superior choice. But nooo. Damn these people. Sarah Palin is arguably the best thing that happened to the Republican Party and the conservative movement since Ronald Reagan and now even more people supposedly on our side are trying to destroy her. Pardon my french, but may these people roast in hell. Every last fucking one of them. And for you people who claim Fox News is basically the PR branch of the Republican Party or the conservative movement...here's a big ole FUCK YOU too.
