Post hoc ergo procter hoc

Fox News’s Carl Cameron reveals a whole slew of Plain-being-Palin nuggets that for some reason were off-the-record until now.

The best one by far: Palin thought Africa was a country.

Although she thankfully did not get elected, I would think this is the kind of pertinent information worth having BEFORE making her vice-president of the free world.

Okay, 2 points to Fox for the use of ‘snarky.’

But, seriously? This woman was allowed to stay on the campaign? This is political malpractice. She was a heartbeat away from the US Presidency and didn’t know who was in NAFTA? The fact that McCain was allowed to get this close to saddling the country with this idiot is amazing.
