This was a reference to a certain politician's confusion as to whether Africa was a country or continent.


Alleged confusion, judging by the latest reports. It looks like the story's source doesn't actually exist and has pulled similar hoaxes in the past.

Not that I like Palin, but then again I'm a fan of disliking politicians based on the merits of what they have really said and done.


Not quite right. One on-record verifier of the story was a hoax. The original source has not yet been outed.


My bad. That probably didn't get as much coverage on this side of the ocean, so I missed it.
