Fox News: Palin didn't know Africa was a continent.

The Secret Service is now connecting Palin's attacks on Obama's patriotism — "palling around with terrorists — with a sharp rise in death threats against Obama.

Haha...i dont think Bin Laden needs to take down America..all these stupid inbred republicans and their dumb witch Palin will do a much better job...the USA has gone from being the world only true 'Superpower' in 2000 to the world only true 'Stupidpower' now...haha...i dont think even Obama can save them...after all 46-47% of the populace did vote for Mccain with that BIMBO on the tioket..i only hope that when she or some other male/female republican BIMBO is elected with his army of airhead supporters...America's subsequent implosion does not bring down the rest of the world too..

I find this news a little bit silly. If you want to pick apart Sarah Palin, there was already plenty of ammunition from her past and her pre-election interviews. I'm not sure why this little detail is getting so much attention. At any rate, I'm not sure it ultimately matters either. What is the real effect of this news coming out? Are there really people out there who will now change their mind about Palin's intellect because they just realized something new about her? Her appeal was never her world knowledge or intelligence in the first place.

And don't forget, this says just as much about McCain as it does Palin. McCain was willing to put this idiot a heartbeat away from the Presidency just because he thought it would help him get elected. Pure political cynicism. He may have been an honorable man at one time, but now he is no better than the Karl Rove's of this country, willing to do anything, even if it puts our entire country at risk in order to further his own political agenda.

Which is all that needs said.

There's a reason, I think, that we'll see Palin get repeatedly kicked around by the GOP over the coming months. After this loss, I think they're beginning to realize that it's not enough anymore to "energize the base." If they're going to get back to national party status, they need to expand beyond right-wing social conservatism and religiously-motivated voters. Those groups are shrinking; demographics have shown a shift to the left (e.g., toward the center) in younger voters. In other words, the meeting occurring today among GOP leaders is likely to result in a reformation of the party into something that's fiscally conservative but less prone to legislating purely "moral" issues. Sarah Palin has shown herself to be capable of attracting almost exclusively that extreme right wing — mainly that small group who still, for example, insists that Dubya has done a good job.

If the GOP is going to be successful in doing this, they're going to need to utterly crush Palin. The new GOP, by 2012, is more likely to resemble something that George Will would have cooked up than it is a menagerie of Joe the Plumbers.

So ... AGAIN they picked a dumbass, and knew it, and deliberately hid the fact from the American people.

Republicans may be nice people, but the GOP itself is unprincipled, anti-American scum.

I'm just glad their games are no longer working quite so well. Thank FSM for bloggers, and the Internets. And a terrorist fist bump to Katie Couric!
