Sarah Palin

Oh Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. It looks like you need your own personal fact checker before going anywhere near a computer. You posted a note on Facebook yesterday endorsing New Hampshire Senate candidate Kelly Ayotte, in which you proved your knowledge of geography is a little bit rusty.

"Todd, Willow, and I are headed out to Kodiak and Afognak to meet with logging families on the forested islands," Palin wrote. "As we work and sightsee on America’s largest island we’ll get to view more majestic bears, so now is a good time to draw attention to the political equivalent of the species."

That's great and all, Sarah, except Kodiak, Alaska is not America's largest island – Big Island in Hawaii has it beat by 440 square miles.

Weren't you the governor of Alaska once upon a time? Shouldn't you know the most about your own state?

To read about another hilarious goof Sarah made in her Facebook post, head on over to Newser.com.

Even Fox News- her biggest fan- have been skewering her lately.

people in glass houses should not throw stones - there is someone in politics from Hawaii who apparently thinks there are 57 States....

You're kidding right! You are so hateful and so blinded by your leftist eyes that you write an article with an insulting headline based on one word Sarah said which may or may not be correct. You have a serious problem! She was boasting about her great home state. Do you actually think we believe that you know every little detailed facts about Geography? I can guarantee that you don't, so that makes you a hypocrite. Also, as shamrockblonde mentioned, the great Obama thinks there are 57 States, did you do an article on that?! Quit being so blinded and partisan and CELEBRATE a great woman that has broken the glass ceiling, has a great family, has been elected Governor and Mayor, and is a leader.

yes I would love to give you some geography questions and see how you do? You hate Sarah Palin because she is a conservative. How about all of Joe Biden's gaffes? What about Hillary Clinton's lying about facing enemy fire and having to duck enemy fire which was a total fabrication.

How petty is this latest attack on Palin? Yet we have a president who thinks that "Austrian" is a language and who mispronounces "corpsman" as "corpse-man." And FBNYC, didn't you fawn over the Obamas' presence at an Easter "mass" ... before the mistake disappeared from your news item? Could the bias on this website have something to do with the drop in traffic recently? Karma. : )
