So, it seems the information that Palin didn't know Africa was a continent, despite being widely reportedand repeated by McCain campaign folks, was actually a joke from a fake blog.
So... way to go, McCain and Palin campaign? I have no idea how to process this information.
Edit: I suspect my memory of hearing campaign staff talking about the Africa thing is based on my memories of the FOX news report, which was false.

Indeed, I don't know that anyone in the campaign repeated the bit about Africa! In fact, I suspect my memory of this is based on reports based on the FOX news report from their political correspondent guy.
