Actually, that one wasn’t true. While there are many many examples of Sarah Palin running her mouth and saying idiotic things, the “she thought Africa was a country” meme was actually a hoax. Even the New York Times admitted it.

Still, this doesn’t change the fact that she is still either A) amazingly stupid, or B) willing to say things she knows are clearly un-true in order to score political points. Take your pick.
