Whadda ya know, Eskimo?

From Juliet Lapidos, of Slate's XX Factor, rubbishing reports that Sarah Palin thought that Africa is a country:

I don't believe for a second that Sarah Palin wasn't aware of the fact that Africa is a continent ... I'd also like to point out that none other than George W. Bush once referred to Africa as a "nation."

So, class, to recap: No way it's true, no one could be that dumb. And even if it is true, it's a mistake anyone could make -- even someone as scholarly and worldly as George W. Bush.

BWAHAHA! *Wipes eyes*. Juliet, you slay me babe.
