Sarah Palin didn't know Africa was a continent, says Fox News chief political correspondent Carl Cameron.
Huffington Post had this to say:
"According to Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron, there was great concern within the McCain campaign that Palin lacked "a degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, a heartbeat away from the presidency," in part because she didn't know which countries were in NAFTA, and she "didn't understand that Africa was a continent, rather than a series, a country just in itself."
Maybe she needs to organise herself a holiday there pronto! She can take John McCain and they can ponder their humiliating defeat at the hands of Barack Obama!
Check out the full story over at Huffington Post. There's a video too!

Sarah Palin is the subject of fresh controversy after it was reported the Alaskan Governor claimed over $32K in travel expenses for her three daughters to attend events and trips to which they had not been invited.
Jessica Biel has been a very busy girl these last six weeks.
What with promoting her new film Easy Virtue in at film festivals in London and Rome, co-hosting the 'Last Chance for Change' Rally and Canvass Kickoff in support of Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama in Last Vegas with boyfriend Justin Timberlake (see picture above) AND taking a romantic Roman holiday with her aforementioned boyfriend, the poor girl has hardly had chance to pause for breath.

Biel is still in London after attending the premiere of Easy Virtue at the 52nd BFI London Film Festival and was spotted yesterday surrounded by photographers as she tried to leave fancy London eatery Nobu Berkeley
The controversial effigies of Sarah Palin and John McCain have finally been taken down by Hollywood homeowner (and window display designer) Chad Morrisette.
Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was depicted hanging from a noose off the side of his house while presidential candidate John McCain was sat atop the chimney surrounded by paper flames.
Amusingly, some republicans were so affronted by Chad's artwork they tried to block the display by holding up sheets. See picture below. Bless.

Don't they look happy? This lovely photo of the Nixon family was taken back on June 14 1959 during a trip to Disneyland, California.
.
Left to right: Pat Nixon, Julie Nixon, Tricia Nixon, and Vice President Richard Nixon
When this photo was taken, Nixon had been Vice President of the United States since 1953 and Disneyland had been open for nearly four years (July 17 1955).
Nixon was later elected to the presidency in 1968 and re-elected in 1972, defeating Democratic candidate George McGovern by one of the widest margins on record.
However Nixon is is most famous (or is that infamous?) for his part in the 'Watergate' scandal which lead to his resignation in August 1974 - so far he is the only US President to have resigned from the post.

Bob Geldof has been on holiday in Deia - a small municipality in Mallorca - while his jungli daughter Peaches was orf getting spliced to rocker Max Drummey at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.
Reports suggest Peaches was holidaying with older sister, Fifi Trixibelle in order to lie low after recent reports of a drugs overdose. That went well, didn't it!?!
Anyway, back to Sir Bob and his Mallorcan holiday...
Mallorca has long been associated with artists, writers and musicians, including Miro, Picasso, Robert Graves, Chopin and his partner George Sand. It is said to be a place of great inspiration for the many who choose to come and settle here. Today, the island is the second home for luminaries such as Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, Michael Schumacher and Claudia Schiffer plus many others who are regular visitors including Gwyneth Paltrow, Bob Geldof, Dustin Hoffman and President Clinton.

Ok, so not strictly a celeb on holiday, but interesting nonetheless
Thomas Suozzi, county executive of Nassau County, New York, has unveiled the county's first tourism campaign and announced Grammy award winning singer-songwriter Ashanti as one of their nine 'tourism ambassadors'.
"The Island Next Door" focusses on residents in New York state and aims to highlight Nassau County's proximity in a time of high petrol prices, expensive air travel and general economic uncertainty.
Suozzi says:
"What other place in the United States has the Atlantic Ocean, Long Island Sound, first-class restaurants, top-notch museums and parks, and world-class golf and shopping, just minutes from the world's greatest city?" "Nassau County has always been known as a great place to live. Now, we're showing people that we're also a great place to visit."
Chelsea captain John Terry and wife Toni Poole visited Worlds of Discovery's Discovery Cove in June as part of their family holiday in Florida.
You'd think that the Hard Rock Hotel would be used to rock and roll attitudes by now, but apparently not.
TMZ reports that Nicole Richie was escorted from the Hard Rock Hotel in the early hours of Sunday after an altercation with a female reveller whilst queuing for her car.
Though apparently Nicole's rep has sent word to TMZ that "She was in Vegas but there wasn't an altercation of any kind involving her."
Hmmm
