There is no country called Africa. You may have been thinking of the Republic of South Africa.

  This was a reference to a certain politician's confusion as to whether Africa was a country or continent.

    Alleged confusion, judging by the latest reports. It looks like the story's source doesn't actually exist and has pulled similar hoaxes in the past. Not that I like Palin, but then again I'm a fan of disliking politicians based on the merits of what they have really said and done.

      Not quite right. One on-record verifier of the story was a hoax. The original source has not yet been outed.

    My bad. That probably didn't get as much coverage on this side of the ocean, so I missed it.
