This is more than a mistake.... there's no two ways to parse this... Sara Palin believed that Fannie and Freddie have been government run this whole time.

No....Sara.... this is a situation where private companies failed and were getting a government bailout as a result.

Fannie and Freddie weren't costing taxpayers a dime directly... but now that we are bailing them out.... taxpayers will largely be footing the bill.

This woman isn't ready to be our Vice President, let alone our President.

We can now see why the McCain campaign is keeping Palin bottled up..... they should also make sure she sticks to the script completely on the campaign trail. Just recite and read.... don't think.
Palin wasn't chosen because of her knowledge--like her boss/sidekick mccain, she's emptyheaded. She was chosen because she's been impregnated alot, and therefore reinforces the family-values image needed to bolster mccain's poll ratings.

If she makes it to office, she will take her place as the White House flower pot.
