ALMOST GONE BUT STILL IGNORANT

Sarah Palin still can't get the basics of American government correct. You might recall that she thought the Founders wrote the Pledge of Allegiance and that the VP had a direct role in the Senate's legislative process. Now we learn that she has "discovered" a brand new department!

As to whether another pursuit for national office, as when she joined Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the race for the White House less than a year ago, would result in the same political blood sport, Palin said there was a difference between the White House and what she had experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House, she said, the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.

"I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.

There is no "Department of Law" at the White House.
