As I am astonished to read in the New Yorker, Mrs. Palin seems to have – in addition to all her flaws, an astonishing lack of knowledge of American History. In a speech, she rambled on heroes of the Tea Party, to an extend, that „she had no idea what the heck she was talking about“ (Nick Paumgarten). The same Article states that a Percentage of British Youths obviously believes, that the Spanish Armada was vanquished by Gandalf. You wish!
