Does Sarah Palin know how many countries she has visited?

... Palin also reportedly got her first passport in 2007, and she said she has been to Germany, Kuwait, and Ireland. (Until recently, going to Canada didn't require a passport.) But the Ireland visit was a refueling stop. That inaccuracy is bad enough, but we also have to get a correction from a Palin spokesman that she has visited Canada ...

... it proves John McCain and Sarah Palin are made for each other: McCain doesn't know how many houses he owns and Palin doesn't know how many countries she has been to.

3. Well, we know she's been to Pennsylvania. That's a different country to her.

4. So I was actually in Germany last year

even though I only changed planes there (my luggage spent a couple days there, though). And I flew over Iceland and Greenland - do those count?

As for Canada: I grew up along the US/Canada border, and most people in the area didn't really think of it as another country. Until recently, visiting Canada and returning didn't require a passport for US citizens.
