Palin can't name the countries of N. America, doesn't know that Africa is a continent.
Honestly, I can't even laugh at that. How did she ever get elected to any political office?

At least now, no one has to worry about her anymore. She's now irrelevant.

I wish. There is a chance that she will take over convicted felon Ted Stevens' Senate seat in order to claim enough experience to run for President in 2012. Don't count Bible Spice out yet.

I thought that was pretty awesome to see O'Reilly try to spin for Sarah Palin in real time and then watch him flounder as he realizes he just can't do it.

I repeat the question I put forth the when I first heard her name and looked her up: "What the hell was McCain thinking?!" 
More & more, she comes off as a spoiled, little drama queen who has always gotten her way and can't stand criticism.
Say, did she ever give those expensive threads back? And I'm reading that her little shopping spree was worth considerably more than the original $150-large -- no wonder the McCain campaign had cash shortages. They had to feed their pet barracuda.

Bill O'Reilly paraphrased:
Okay, but aside from her ignorance and her refusal to be tutored on the issues she is ignorant on and her erratic and irresponsible behavior, what is wrong with her as vice-president. |

Newsweek airs Palin-McCain campaign dirty laundry among other things.
| NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family—clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books. |

'But; obviouslly the woman is not stupid'
Hum; Bill? Yeah; she is.
'She can be tutored'
Mayyyyybe... So what? What about taking somebody that already knows what he is talking about and had the brain and interest to learn it by himself BEFORE being on a national ticket?
Though; the was chosen to appease the party's right-wingers. It was a purely political decision that, thankfully, did not pan out.
Now, what irritates me is... Why are we only learning about all that now. Obviously, part of this was known by the press before the election. Didn't they think that the American public could have been interested by this kind of informations? That it was relevant to electing the person that would stand a heart-beat away from the presidency?
I don't know if she is done for. 4 years is a long time as far as politic is concerned especially with the crisis now looming about what the future of the Republican party will be... |

It just gets better. The bullets are starting to fly…
Strains Between McCain and Palin Aides Go Public
Revelations from anonymous critics from within the McCain-Palin campaign suggest a number of complaints about the Alaskan governor:
Fox News reports that Palin didn't know Africa was a continent and did not know the member nations of the North American Free Trade Agreement -- the United States, Mexico and Canada -- when she was picked for vice president.
The New York Times reports that McCain aides were outraged when Palin staffers scheduled her to speak with French President Nicholas Sarkozy, a conversation that turned out to be a radio station prank.
Newsweek reports that Palin spent far more than the previously reported $150,000 on clothes for herself and her family.
Several publications say she irked the McCain campaign by asking to make her own concession speech on election night.
The tension is likely to continue or get worse. Lawyers for the Republican National Committee are heading to Alaska to try to account for all the money that was spent on clothing, jewelry and luggage, according to The New York Times. |
Snip
However, press accounts today suggest that Palin rubbed many of the McCain aides the wrong way. On election night when it was clear that McCain would be giving a concession speech instead of an acceptance speech, Palin approached McCain with a speech in hand hoping to make her own concession speech, according to published reports.
Vice presidential candidates traditionally leave the spotlight to the top of the ticket on election night and McCain aides made it clear to Palin that she would be a spectator that night, not a speaker, The New York Times reported.
And when McCain and Palin split up in Arizona Wednesday, the personal differences were stark.
McCain drove himself home in a Toyota sport utility vehicle. Palin's departure was a grander event. She left with an entourage of 18 family members and friends and a Secret Service detail, heading to the airport in a motorcade stretching more than a dozen vehicles, flanked by a dozen more cops on motorcycles. |
This is going to get really nasty. And fun!!!

I dunno; I would not expect these people to interact much further.
It might be more relevant in a couple of years if Palin contemplate a presidential bid. |
