People slip up and say the wrong things sometimes. It happens. That's why TV station christmas parties are highlighted by the blooper reel of all the screwups reporters/anchors made over the past year. We look forward to seeing those for months. It doesn't mean the reporter is a moron. (other things usually prove that).
The difference between Obama accidentally saying the wrong number, and Palin actually not knowing anything about foreign policy (I can see Russia from my house and therefore I'm qualified as a foreign policy expert) or the Bush Doctrine (vacuous look when asked, then incorrectly guessing as to what it might be), or believing that one needs protection from being hexed by a witch, is vast.
