Palin erroneously calls Kodiak largest US island
By HOLLY RAMER (AP) – 12 hours ago
CONCORD, N.H. — Sarah Palin incorrectly calls Alaska's Kodiak Island the largest island in America in a Facebook post endorsing a Senate candidate in New Hampshire.
The Big Island of Hawaii is about 440 square miles larger than Kodiak, where Palin and her family were headed Monday.
In endorsing Republican candidate Kelly Ayotte (AY'-aht), Palin also strayed a bit from the facts in praising her for having "won" a case before the U.S. Supreme Court.
As state attorney general, Ayotte defended a law requiring parental notification for teenagers seeking abortions. But it was repealed after the U.S. Supreme Court sent it back to a lower court.
Ayotte is among seven candidates seeking the GOP nomination for the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Judd Gregg. Rep. Paul Hodes is unopposed in the Democratic primary.

Hey, she knew it was an island, right? Not only that, but she knew its name and in which state it's located. For Palin, that's knockin' it outta the park.

And the brilliant President Obama has never made a mistake like this, right?

If you are going to attack Palin, why not something she stands for? Why must it always seem to be for something completely superficial?

This really gets you going doesnt it? Yeah, this is much worse than claiming there were 57 states

Quick, without looking, whats the 3rd largest island in america? Do you know? Or do you have to google for the info? If you dont know, you have no room to talk..

btw, alaska holds 8 of the top 10 largest islands in america, so if you expect me to get upset or point fingers because of this, your crazy.

And our Vice President Joe Biden declared that:

"You can't go into a convenience store in America without knowing how to speak Indian".

I'll take the island size error over that one any day!
