I really don't give much to recent reports that Gov Palin didn't know that South Africa is a country. I mean - why is the media in such a knot about this? Most of Americans that I have met (well meaning, and well educated Americans) have no idea that Africa is a continent, not a country and that South Africa is a country not a geographical region. So why the mock outrage regarding this alleged ignorance on the part of Palin? And another thing - get over yourselves guys. It's over. Stop beating the dead horse (or moose tee hee.)
