A Correction -- Although I STILL Believe Palin Was A Terrible Choice

Well, it appears that Sarah Palin isn't quite as dim as the alleged Africa story suggested. Here are the details of what appears to be a purported hoax.

But still, she's just not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. I'm not a Katie Couric fan, but her interview revealed so much about how ill-informed Palin is. She can't name a single Supreme Court decision? Surely, she remembers the Dred Scott decision from high school. (Well, actually, I guess she doesn't.....which is the point.)

But the question that gets me is the newspaper question. She couldn't name a single newspaper, magazine, or periodical that she read. Not a single one. Hey, even if she'd said USA Today, at least it's an answer, right? Newsweek, maybe? Even Redbook, for goodness sake. But . . . nothing.

So, even if the Africa story wasn't true, Palin's documented history of being ill-informed provides enough smoke to make one believe there IS fire there.
