So maybe not the best bit on which you can bag on Palin, seeing as how you got it wrong, too.

If you can show me that they meant that she was unable to name Canada, the US, and Mexico as countries in North America, I'll gladly yield. As it is, I don't buy it.

Sure- Carl Cameron reported that she didn't know who the parties to NAFTA were, and that the response was that it was the nations of North America (according to the US usage), after which she appeared confused as to whom those nations were.

See, now, she didn't know which nations were a part of NAFTA. Shame on her-- a potential VP should know that. But that's not the same thing as not knowing that Canada, the United States, and Mexico are part of North America. I hear that and can just as easily suppose that she isn't sure that, say, Honduras or Nicaragua are not also part of NAFTA.

I would like for her to know who is in NAFTA. That is pretty important. I would love for her to know what constitutes North America, even if it means only knowing the nations in North America according to common US usage. I would love for her to know that Africa is not a country. At least she isn't my governor. |
