The Wolf Killa from Wasilla could use a good map.....
from ThinkProgress:



Palin calls Afghanistan ‘our neighboring country.’»

Speaking at a San Francisco fundraiser on Sunday, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) “fumbled” while praising U.S. soldiers in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, referring to Afghanistan as a “neighboring country”:

“They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan,” she told several hundred supporters at a fundraising event in San Francisco.


Afghanistan borders neither the United States nor Iraq. Asian geography appears equally difficult for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who has discussed an imaginary Iraq-Pakistan border.

3. Wow, she must be able to see it from Alaska--she's got insanely good vision, apparently.
She can see over the curvature of the earth.

4. The really sad part here is that
the people she's talking too don't even realize that her statement was really wrong -
