From Sarah Palin's Facebook page:

Can you imagine a Vice President not knowing that Africa is a continent, not a nation? Think of how embarrassing this could be for our country if this Vice President actually referred to Africa as a "nation" while speaking to the very leaders of the sovereign nations that make up the diverse African continent. Imagine how truly embarrassing this would be if it actually happened and was caught on tape... instead of just being a lie based on false anonymous "leaks" from losing and disgruntled campaign consultants. Man, I bet if this ever REALLY happened in real life the media would be all over the story, right? Well, watch this video to see which one of us actually thinks Africa is a nation (hint: it's not me!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U7S3Aq51II
