Palin Claims New Hampshire Is Part Of The "Great Northwest" (VIDEO)

Sarah Palin drew some boos and shouts of confusion today, when while speaking in New Hampshire she mistakenly claimed that the Granite State was part of the "great Northwest."

"I like being here," she told the crowd in Laconia, "because it seems like here and in our last rally too -- other parts around this great Northwest -- here in New Hampshire you just get it."

It's tough video and an innocent mistake, to be sure. But it certainly doesn't help the preexisting image of Palin as being intellectually incurious. For the record, she hasn't been in the Northwest for quite a while, if at all while on the trail. On Sunday, she campaigned in Ohio; on Monday in Virginia; on Tuesday in Pennsylvania; and tomorrow she is heading back to Ohio, according to the McCain campaign public schedule.

I'm sure the people of New Hampshire "Get it".
Too bad Sara doesn't.

I'm surprised she didn't use one of her prepared "protester putdowns" on the crowd like she did last week when the crowd was asking her to speak louder.

I try to be reasonably fair, regardless of party, because I'm sick of extreme partisanship.

I give her a pass on this one, only because every candidate has said something stupid (Obama really tired saying he'd been to 57 states, etc.)

HOWEVER, with everything I've seen from her, I do seriously wonder if she knows east from west!

[Deadmoose]

Dang, I'm so jaded the Palinisms alone might be worth it.

[fflores]

she is a real life "Peggy Hill"

[pattio66]

ROTFLMAO!!!!

[exPatPatti]

Stop insulting Peggy Hill.

[fanno]

Does she even know what country she's in?

[tsand19151]

.....the United State of Alaska.

[CamJam]

Wow.. maybe that's why she's not visited Oregon.. because she's LOST! LOL

Good thing.. didn't want to see her here in the Northwest anyway!

[old lady]

HELP... I live in NH... when did they move us ? Please Somebody tell me how to get home!!!!!

[apogee2perogee]

Palin jumped the shark, you should be able to catch a ride with her....

[Yuma]

I know how to fix it by McCain.LOL!!!

[Rapid Ray]

Just drive east until you hit the Atlantic Ocean, and turn left. Take I-95N to I-93 N.

We'll leave a light on for ya!

[old lady]

I'd be driving forever Ray...I95 runs parallel to I93

[Chgogirl]

Sarah's cue cards were upside down. Northwest, northeast what's the difference...wink wink.

[gtalkspolitics]

To say she is as dumb as George Bush is an insult to George Bush , he knows where Crawford Texas is.

[JoDeeVa]

Hmmm, wonder if she can see Russia from there, too?...;}

[Godiva]

I'm going to have a Sarah's going away party on Nov. 5, and everyones invited!

[Lulu1]

[instagladiator]

YaHoooooo!!!! Party time!! I'll bring the Paylun video collection.

Now geography has the p it bu ll stumped. Well maybe she can go back to school, and while she's there take up spelling I.D.I.O.T.!

[Rapid Ray]

If she goes back to school again, she will be collecting social security by the time she gets a diploma.

[Chgogirl]

Maybe she and her future high school dropout son-in-law can go back to school.

[instagladiator]

IF she gets a diploma.

[sharonh]

Sarah--the gift that keeps on giving.

[instagladiator]

And her parents are proud of her? Just when I thought I really had her figured out, she pulls another ripe one out of the hat "just like that!" Amazing. She really "makes my day".

[robotfog]

yep and I think her father is a teacher.

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, um, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq and everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future." - Miss So. Carolina

Maybe Miss S.Carolina should buy Miss Wasilla a map and teach her some.

[suemag]

I live in CT, so I guess according to Palin's geography, I can see Russia from MY house!

[sharonh]

How's the weather down there in the Southwest?

[instagladiator]

uhh, according to The Alaskan Hillbilly, we are now part of the Great Northwest!!

[suemag]

Very nice today and strangely enough, our leaves are changing! Could it be the end is near? If so, I'll be one of those left behind.

[sharonh]

Sarah--the gift that just keeps giving.

[instagladiator]

Oh please - my days would be soooo empty without her words of wisdom.
