Read: This country was just under 200 electoral votes away from seriously FAILING.
Before I get into this, let me note the Palin posts will be dwindling sometime soon, but this was just too good not to blog.
Fox news has conveniently released this information a day after the elections, which is probably for the best. It’s been wildly reported by Palin’s aides that when discussing Africa in her room one day, she told her staff that the thought Africa was just a country. Furthering the polar bear’s lack of political knowledge, she said she had no clue what countries were in the North American Free Trade Agreement. Ok, I get the fact that 99% of the general population doesn’t know what the NAFTA is, but that’s because that 99% aren’t preparing to be the Vice-Fucking-President of the top country in the world. I’m a Music Industry major, so you would assume that I would know about record contracts, sound waves and smoking lots of drugs… ya’kno’wha’I'mean? As far as the Africa thing, I’m dumbfounded. That’s about a 1st grader’s level, you know, the same time they teach you about things like evolution and dinosaurs.
And while I’m Palin’ing, note that the bitch went hog wild with the McCain camp’s credit cards, spending well over her budget on high end brands. Personally, I would have done the same, so +1 for her.
Sarah Palin spent “tens of thousands” more than the quoted $150,000 on clothes for the Republican campaign, met McCain aides in her hotel room dressed in nothing but a towel, and did not know Africa was a continent, according to new reports.
Fox news has reported that Mrs Palin did not understand that Africa was a continent, not a country, and did not know what countries were in the North American Free Trade Agreement.
In separate claims made in the latest issue of Newsweek magazine, the Republican vice presidential nominee was reported to have been told to buy three suits for the Republican convention, and to hire a stylist. Instead, she went on a spending spree in upmarket stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
Quoting unnamed sources within the McCain camp, the magazine alleges that most of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who “was shocked when he got the bill.”
An angry aide described the shopping spree as “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast”, and predicted that the truth would eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.
The magazine also claimed that Mrs Palin used low ranking staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards, and that up to $40,000 was spent on clothes for her husband Todd.
A number of articles of clothing have been lost, the magazine states.
The disclosures are made in “How He Did It, 2008″, in Newsweek’s Special Election Project, a behind-the-scenes account of the presidential election produced the day after the polls closed.
The magazine also claims that at the GOP convention in St. Paul, when aides Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to her hotel room to brief her, Ms Palin walked into the room wearing only a towel, with another on her wet hair. She told them to chat to Todd, adding: “I’ll be just a minute.”
Other election revelations include that on the night Hillary Clinton officially lost the Democratic nomination, she enjoyed a long and friendly phone conversation with McCain.
“Clinton was actually on better terms with McCain than she was with Obama,” reports the magazine. “Clinton and McCain had downed shots together on Senate junkets; they regarded each other as grizzled veterans of the political wars and shared a certain disdain for Obama as flashy and callow. “
In regards to weather she helped or hurt the McCain ticket, I don’t have a clue. On one hand she is a complete moron that had an actual shot of John dying in office, therefore leaving us with the idiotic hockey mom. On the other side of things, she created a legion of die hard fans that could have switched over to Obama’s ticket. One thing’s for sure, shes pissed about how she was portrayed in the media, as shown in this video.
