Off The Record Till Election Day, Palin Truths Now Spill Out

In what is sure to be the beginning of a tidal wave of gossip about Sarah Palin, her beliefs and conduct, Fox News Chief White House Correspondent Carl Cameron shares some of his knowledge about the behind-the-scenes goings-on. Let’s just say, in addition to her well-known belief that man and dinosaur co-existed, it seems Gov. Palin also didn’t understand that Africa was a continent. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg…

Meanwhile, my American friend who lives on that mysterious continent wrote a letter yesterday to Andrew Sullivan at The Atlantic. He printed it. Here’s what she said:

I’m an American living in Gabon, in west central Africa. After reading what other international readers have written you tonight, I thought I’d add that the Gabonese (and many Africans living here from numerous countries across the continent) are euphoric at the thought that a man with (as they call it) “African blood” could possibly become president of the United States. There is a palpable sense of excitement in the air, and as I sit here at nearly two in the morning watching the US news from thousands of miles away I feel proud to be from the country that made this possible. I can only begin to imagine what an Obama election could mean for the entire world.
