It's not hate, just amusement. Good, old fashioned 'reality show' TV brought to everyones attention, like it or not.

I don't watch reality TV, so I wouldn't know. I am unamused by the majority of television.

Actually quite good, I dislike the city or any significant concentrations of population for that matter. Hopefully in the future rural America will become more diverse.

As for Governor Bimbo, she has become a nationwide laughing stock... Only the really clueless would continue to support a woman who has proven herself to be mentally challenged.

Well, you can't prove a negative, so you won't believe me when I say I am not jealous of her. However, neither of my daughters got pregnant at 17 (they are 21 and 24). I don't blame Sarah for that, but I'm sure not jealous of her for that situation. I never had a Down's kid. I'm not jealous of her for that; I had my own crosses to bear with my kids' health, and I wouldn't wish them on anyone. I was never a PTA president, but I was once a babysitting co-op pres.

When she talks, she just cracks me up. Unlike her, I can tell you what I read. I know that people in Erie, PA are Cleveland Indians and Pittsburgh Pirates fans, not Phillies fans. I know Africa is a continent, and I can see Pike's Peak, not Russia, from my house.

The Africa thing is not clear. I guess it came from a conversation about the country of South Africa. That is what I read.

I thought this was broken by FOX News. If true, then my guess is, I think per they were willing to throw her under the bus in order to either garner a measure of respectability amongst the non-droolers who ignore that network, or since Billy Kristol is their unofficial liaison between the Neocons and their official network and Palin's biggest fan there, they were taking a shot at Kristol with this admission.

She thought Africa was a COUNTRY. If true, that is mind boggling, dwarfs even the stupidity of Dubya

in her defense, which I rarely do, people make mistakes. I don't think she's overly bright, but I am pretty sure she knows what africa is.
