Palin fires back at leaks questioning her smarts Fri Nov 7, 2008 7:56pm EST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fired back on Friday against post-election claims by aides to Republican presidential candidate John McCain that she thought Africa was a country, not a continent, calling the anonymous sources "jerks."
Palin, McCain's running mate in their unsuccessful White House campaign, told CNN the allegation "is not true." She said the leaks could have come from people who helped her with preparation for her debate against Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden.
She said she remembered having conversations during debate preparation about Africa and the North American Free Trade Agreement.
A Fox News report cited unidentified campaign sources who said Palin did not know Africa was a continent and could not name the three countries in NAFTA -- the United States, Canada and Mexico.
"I think if there are allegations based on questions or comments that I made in debate prep about NAFTA or about the continent versus the country when we talk about Africa there, then those were taken out of context, and that is cruel and mean-spirited, it's immature, it's unprofessional, and those guys are jerks," Palin said.

I support Sarah.
When is API releasing the Michelle Obama tape?
(Some stories just never die!).
I would use the term ‘effin a-holes’ Sarah.
Gee, Maverick, do ya think part of your problem might have been the character of the people you hired to run your campaign?

Right after Sen Kerry signs the SF-170 to release ALL his military records.
I marvel that Sarah has any energy to spare with these jerks. Think about the schedule she has maintained---if I were in her shoes, I'm not sure I'd know my own name by now.
Frrep this poll for Sarah if you haven’t yet done so: http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/366171
It was the late-added presence of SARAH which energized an otherwise moribund and apathetic conservative voting base.
It was SARAH who drew record-shattering crowds everywhere she went, on behalf of a sour and ungrateful McCain campaign.
Friendly little word of warning to any/all RINOs out there reading this, and thinking about standing in the way between this amazing woman and the conservative base that adores her, anytime during the next four years:
You're expendable to us. SHE isn't.
I’m sure that every campaign has a few disgruntled workers.
The difference here is that Fox News, in the person of Carl Cameron, chose to give them a platform with an extended airing of their anonymous complaints.
The whole problem is Carl Cameron choosing to cite ANONYMOUS SOURCES at length. That’s grossly unprofessional and shameful conduct from a journalist. Shame on you Carl and shame on Fox News.
The ones who counseled him to declare Rev Wright "off limits". LOL.
Hey lieutenant columbo you keep telling us that Sarah was clueless about Africa. You want to pony up an actuak, verified source?
Steve Schmidt and Rick Davis are the jerks.
Cameron & O’reilly are conspirators here (as was posted earlier today).
It is time to shift guns. Time for Ingraham to speak out instead of filling in for the o’reilly con.
Gary Johnson-Sarah Palin 2012.
When pigs fly. Just like when the MSM, besides Hannity, reported on all the terrorist ties Obama had (has). This is a rhetorical question, right?
What I love the most about all this is that the media thinks they are marginalizing her and really the public is supporting her even more.
She is getting thousands of interview requests and people see what little, insignificant, reprobates the press is.
I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!!!
