Fox News' Carl Cameron reported last night that according to top John McCain aides, Sarah Palin did not know Africa was a continent.

Palin dismissed the story, saying a "small, evidently bitter type of person" made "foolish ... false allegations."

However, in the interview with reporters, she did not specifically deny the Africa claim or any of the other charges made by Fox news.

"We are told by folks that she didn't know what countries were in NAFTA ... We're told that she didn't understand that Africa was a continent, rather than a country just in itself," the source told Fox news.
