Remember how big the story was when Sarah Palin couldnt name a newspaper she read?

The MSM used the story to mercilessly pound Palin into the ground at a time when she had energized the McCain candidacy.

Now however, notice how little coverage there is after Amy Klobuchar couldn't name the president of Mexico.

And the differences between the two stories are important. Palin was a candidate for VP; Klobuchar for POTUS. Not reading a newspaper doesn't prove anything other than good taste since almost all newspapers are liberal rags. Not knowing the name of the president of our nearest neighbor to the South, one of our most important trade partners, and our allies (ideally) in the war against the Mexican drug cartels, proves a shocking ignorance of global politics.

Democratic 2020 candidate Amy Klobuchar, in a Telemundo interview Thursday night, was unable to recall the name of Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador when asked.

The candidate, along with 2020 rivals Tom Steyer and Pete Buttigieg, sat down with Telemundo following a League of United Latin American Citizens forum at which the candidates were speaking.

The candidates were asked to name Mexico’s president. Klobuchar did not remember.

“Can you tell me his name?” Telemundo’s host asked Klobuchar. She responded, “No.”
