Palin: Africa Charge Comes From 'Small, Bitter Person' (VIDEO)

Last night, Fox News' Carl Cameron reported some astounding news -- according to top John McCain aides, Sarah Palin did not know Africa was a continent. Today, via Think Progress, Palin dismissed the story, saying a "small, evidently bitter type of person" made "foolish ... false allegations." However, she did not specifically refute the Africa claim or any of the other charges related by Cameron. Watch:

That small bitter person should shut up and go back to their guns & religion.

[Rog49Thomas]

One would think it probably doesn't make sense to attack your base.

Though Brother Jack apparently didn't have a problem in PA.

[littlepuffycloud]

Is it just me or does anyone find it so telling that she lugs Trig around with his back to her? She lugs that baby around like he's a sack of potatos and I never once saw her look at any of her children in the face. Never once. She is one cold ambitious woman.

[majordomo2]

Palin's little three year old (?) daughter carries her Louis Vuitton handbag with more care than Sarah carries her own infant.

[Audrey704]

She hasn't taken care of her kids in too many ways to count...but failing to graduate high school (oldest son) and a pregnant teenager are all symptoms of poor parenting...

[mclarek]

Willow and Piper do a better job of holding the baby in a loving manner. And here she is taking press questions in front of Piper. Poor thing!

[2bsure]

I was going to say the same thing. That poor baby. Maybe she's afraid that he'll spit up on her designer duds.

["small, evidently bitter type of person" made "foolish ... false allegations." ]

That person exists in this story, but it wasn't the McCain aide, Mrs Governor.

[ESerafina42]

I was going to say the same thing. I guess Sarah is the one who was spreading this story around. Small and bitter, Governor? Take a look in the mirror.

[Rosy]

McCain's people throwing Sarah under the bus. I am loving this!

Get back to Alaska, Sarah, and don't show your face in the lower 48 ever again.

[alvybaby]

Who are you Rosy? Shut up!

[Spokane]

Lower 48 ? Sarah may not know where Africa is , but , you don't know there are 50.count'em '
50 states!! Which ignorant (special) state are you from ?

[frappe]

Sarah, maybe you should run for president of South America?

[AddictedToHope]

You mean Louisana, Arkansas, Mississippi, etc?

[ProgressiveThought]

In what regards is Africa a continent Charlie?

[dholl69]

funny

[time2impeach]

Quick Sarah, name five countries in Africa....

[RebelPatriot]

South Africa
North Africa
East Africa
West Africa
and Central Africa.

there's my five.

[Glowcy]

.

.

[sandpiper1]

Those are regions,not countries, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethopia, Somalia, Uganda, South Africa, Zimbawbe, etc. are countries located in the Continent of Africa.

[time2impeach]

ROTFL!!!!

Perfect

[MNmommy]

Kenya
Liberia
South Africa
Republic of Congo

[BeauMonde]

The GOP tearing itself apart on national TV...

...Christmas comes early twice this year.

[LemonMeringue]

This will anger the person who revealed her shocking lack of knowledge, and they'll come forward.

ROFLMAO at her and the imploding GOP

[ghettoforever]

The real joke is the Religious Right wants her to run in 2012.

[someotheroxford]

So do I, and every Democrat I know. I'd pay good money to see Palin debate Obama in the next campaign. A friend of mine (hardcore Democrat) is putting a Palin 2012 sticker on his car, and he'll send her money if she runs.

[paulbikes]

Why is she still in the news?

Dosent she have the alaskan people and the RNC to answer too? Id put money down that her days as a "public servant" are severely numbered.

[emily00011]

As soon as she is counted out from 2012 she will be gone. Apparently the primary prep is already in swing, so we will continue to hear about her.

[quiviran]

But, she got a nice new wardrobe for the entire family.

[mclarek]

yeah come on!!! Sarah..which charities got the clothes??? OR will we see them out and about in Alaska? Let's hope Nicole Wallace wwent through Sarah and Todd's luggage before they left for Alaska.

[ghettoforever]

So did Todd and the kids. I can hardly wait for the Republicans to tell the real dollar amount of how much she spent.

[ghettoforever]

She is funny. Did you forget Dan Quayle? The Republicans called her and her family a bunch of hillbillies.

[Winter Maiden]

An insult to hillbillies all over the world.
