Just Another Example of Why Palin Was Such A Sorry Choice for VP

I hated the choice of Palin from the outset. Sure, she was captivating in her speech at the convention -- a speech she didn't write, but delivered well.

And, yeah, she was definitely easy on the eye -- although that's hardly a qualification for being a heartbeat away from the presidency.

But it was her overarching ignorance, on so many levels, that bothered me so very much. And this article, revealing that she didn't even know that Africa was a continent, not a country, is simply chilling in its import. I expect this level of ignorance from some, but not from a person vying for one of the highest offices, in the most powerful country in the world.
