aw gee shucks, ES - you got to admit it is sort of mesmerizing - kind of like a train wreck. Besides, as long as she is the "new" republican, the dems don't have to worry for a long, long, long time. Its so funny that now that the election is over she's finally willing to talk to people - she is doing everything it takes to remain on the front page.

btw - wasn't it a certain republican candidate who last spring chided Obama for being nothing more than a celebrity like Britney or Paris! Now look what he has unleashed.

UPDATE - now it sounds like the "Africa is a country" was indeed made up - what's so scary is that we all found it so plausable coming from "I can see Russia from my front yard".
