I really hope this is like that episode of "The West Wing," when a candidate pretended to be clueless and uninformed, just so he would look better in an upcoming debate. Because, honestly, I refuse to believe that a candidate for the vice presidency of the United States can't name a single Supreme Court decision other than Roe v. Wade.
Of course, she couldn't name any newspaper that she read, either.
The McCain campaign made a brilliant political move choosing Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, so I don't understand how they could botch Palin's public roll-out so royally. When you keep someone totally cloistered from a press that is starved for information about her (if for no other reason than to sell newspapers), then you risk having too much attention focused on every interview. If the campaign had Palin doing interviews five times a day, this would've been news for 30 seconds.

Fred Thompson said it is because she has not been given a list. Oh. So they don't require U. S. History in the Alaska public schools like they do in the rest of the country, nor do they require it at any of the five or six colleges she attended? And I guess that big Supreme Court decision on the Exxon Valdese case this summer, the one she publicly expressed disagreement with, just slipped her mind.
