| Quote | 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.
Palin was apparently a nightmare for her campaign staff to deal with. She refused preparation help for her interview with Katie Couric and then blamed her staff, specifically Nicole Wallace, when the interview was rightly panned as a disaster. After the Couric interview, Palin turned nasty with her staff and began to accuse them of mishandling her. Palin would view press clippings of herself in the morning and throw "tantrums" over the negative coverage. There were times when she would be so nasty and angry that her staff was reduced to tears. |
Wow. But you know, it's perfect. The GOP already does sex ed denial, evolution denial, global warming denial, might as well add geography denial. |
Here's Bill O'Reilly defending Sarah Palin to Carl Cameron:
| Quote | | Okay, so her frame of reference in history and geography and current events was weak, according to your sources, but she can be tutored, the woman is not a stupid woman, you can tutor people, and you can get people up to speed on the basics of "here's the government, here's the [American] exceptionalism that we're talking about, here's the world map, here's our interactions", so it's gotta be more than that. |
Now try to imagine him saying the same thing in defense of any Democratic candidate for any office above the level of dogcatcher.
