> there are rumors that a former Vice Presidential candidate thinks Africa is a country
Rumors, not facts.

Irony is making sweeping generalizations while ostensibly pushing back on generalizations.

“ One of the most famous blunders made by former U.S. President George W. Bush was, “Africa is a nation that suffers from terrible disease.” President Bush, like many others, misconstrued the fact that Africa is not a country, but a continent.”

But surely, it must be a coincidence! :)
Coincidence of what and what? Bush is well known for his blunders, so it is not such a coincidence that this one is of his authorship. Or did you mean that it was American president who blundered this? How many other presidents had a chance to blunder in such a way that you'd notice it? It is an important question, because blunders of American presidents are carried to every corner of the world, while blunders of a president of Botswana probably isn't.
