Country and continent are easy to confuse when speaking. We'll never know if the folks below really thought Africa was a country.
Republican candidate Rick Santorum
Improve TV host (now Price is Right host) Drew Carey.
I love how Drew Carey describes Africa as "being in the middle of the world". Maybe believing the world is flat is a more serious issue. :)
Alleged info on Palin
One republican candidate also thinks that Libya isn't part of Africa. Perhaps worse, however, is Ron Paul who kind of implies that Africa is a country where capitalism doesn't exist (hence, they keep getting hungry). Ignorant people generally know they are ignorant. It is the very knowledgeable ones that you got to watch out for (we all have a specialties, and clearly, history, geography and economics are not Ron Paul's).
