I probably mischaracterized it when I called it a gaffe. It's a complete misunderstanding of reality. She should either be more versed on the most important issue of the day, or she shouldn't speak about it.
A legitimate criticism would be to ask why is CBS using the Huffington post as a source.
This isn't the first time F&F received government funds - or maybe CBS and Huffington Post in their drive to slam Palin didn't know this?
Or maybe they didn't know that F&F were involved in the Bear Stearns bailout??
Seems that CBS and Huffington Post have egg on their face.
