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.

Cameron reminded me of the old “Hee Haw” show song about “We’re not one to go around spreading rumors”. In 2004 Cameron was assigned to Kerry, and almost cried when he lost. He’s got one thing in common with Kerry and McCain, they are all losers.
I love John McCain for his bravery, his service, his sacrifice, and his love of country. Those are the qualities that motivated me to enthusiastically go to the polls and vote for him. He'd make a fine president, light years beyond Chairman O.
“Incoherent” may be harsh, but John McCain simply could not connect with a message and a vision of where he wanted to take America, and in the end, he failed to convince the jury.
I hope that helps.
Yep...you can bet your booty that O’Reilly would never have allowed anyone to come on his show and slander obama with nothing more than unnamed sources!
Not only Greta will be interviewing Sarah Mon, but she has on Rush again tonight
Bullshit.
Besides, I voted for McCain although the fine, noble and holier than thou Lisa from somewhere thinks her crap don’t stink and said I did not.
McCain got plenty of kudos for his service and his years as a POW from the conservative base.
He ran a lousy campaign, he was a lousy candidate and right after the election he turned against the best thing us conservatives have had in years.
I’m mad at McCain for this and Lisa from Bullshit county ain’t gonna stop my righteous anger.
There’s one in every crowd.
I proudly voted for McCain, because although I may end up disagreeing with many, many of his policies, I know that he has America's best interests at heart. No way can I say that about Obama.
No question, McCain had major headwinds in his face. Right or wrong, Bush is extremely unpopular and the economy is in the dumps. A very large swath of Americans will simply blame the president and his party, and John McCain by association.
This does not change the fact that we have to look at John McCain, and realize that he simply does not powerfully, compellingly orate a message that persuades the masses to flock to the polls for him. There was no question that I'd be voting for him, but he failed to make the case to the uninformed and the fence-sitters.
In 2012, Sarah’s going to beat Obama in all 57 states.
“It’s telling that RINO boy won’t come to her defense or get pissed like he did when someone used Obama’s full name.”
Very telling. McCain needs to come out and support Sarah within the next 24 hours (he should have already done it).
goodnight all (again).

We asked God to send us a LEADER, and He sent Sarah Palin. Then, we asked for a MIRACLE, and he sent us Joe Wurzelbacher. I'm not giving up yet.
Maybe Sarah should just start naming names, and see who squeals the loudest.
