Chris Matthews Calls Africa a Country

This is absolutely PRICELESS. Here is Chris Matthews poking fun and aiming ridicule towards Governor Palin, for her “alleged” lapse in Geographical
Knowledge, yet he ends up actually perpetrating the very mistake which he so intends to blame on Palin.
Also, he failed in Properly Identifying the Nations of Africa. He claims that Africa has “57 [...]
