airliner: A former campaign aid leaked to Fox news that she thought Africa was a country. She also couldn't tell which couintries made up North America.
I heard that one...duhhhhhhhhhhh...maybe she can practice up for next time...
Skybow: Maybe she will get a chance to shoot her some lawyers. I hear theGop lawyers are flying to Alaska to get the clothes off of her back!!!
Oh NOOOOOOOOOO...She didn't abscond with the $250,000.00 in clothing they bought her did she???.. Too bad they couldn't help her remember Africa was a continent and all the countries in North America....
Hugz_n_Kissez: Well some of the word on the street is that they will be grooming her for an actual presidential candidate for next time....
who knows.....I know that she can boost her chances by a decision, which only she can make. As the governor, she can appoint herself to the US senate seat for Alaska, when the now convicted incumbent resigns or gets impeached

Reporting from Phoenix -- Sarah Palin left the national stage Wednesday, but the controversy over her role on the ticket flared as aides to John McCain disclosed new details about her expensive wardrobe purchases and revealed that a Republican Party lawyer would be dispatched to Alaska to inventory and retrieve the clothes still in her possession....
For weeks, the McCain-Palin campaign has dealt with the fallout from the disclosure that the Republican National Committee was billed for $150,000 in wardrobe purchases for the Palin family -- a discovery that was widely ridiculed and undercut Palin's hockey mom appeal.
Several McCain aides said they had recently discovered that Palin's traveling staff had used personal credit cards to spend as much as $20,000 to $30,000 on additional wardrobe items for Palin.
Palin and her press aides were traveling back to Alaska on Wednesday and could not be reached for comment. But one aide earlier told Newsweek: "Gov. Palin was not directing staffers to put anything on their personal credit cards, and anything that staffers put on their credit cards has been reimbursed, like an expense."
The original $150,000 in purchases was revealed in late October after the release of the September and October Federal Election Commission filings by the Republican National Committee. Those reports revealed that more than $75,062.63 was spent at Neiman Marcus, $49,425.74 at Saks Fifth Avenue and $5,102.71 at Bloomingdale's around the time of the Republican National Convention in early September.
The campaign has said that many of those clothes were returned.
But McCain aides said Wednesday that spending on Palin's wardrobe continued well after the convention, with one custom-made outfit showing up around the time of her "Saturday Night Live" appearance on Oct. 18....

Oh well...I don't see it personally but hey one never knows...I don't think she has what it takes no matter how much grooming they do...she lacks common sense for one...
