moonhead, it's actually quite frightening. The majority of Americans thought Palin actually said she could "see Russia from her house". The level of education and critical thinking in America is frightening. and theyget to vote on what we do with the nuclear weopons.
No, what is actually quite frightening is that you believe the conservative spin put on her remarks, that it wasn't really what she said and Tina Fey made it all up.
Palin's actual remarks were as stupid as they were frightening for a Vice-Presidential candidate one step away from the button for those nuclear weapons.
Palin defends remark on Russia - The Boston Globe
Palin's foreign policy experience came up when she gave her first major interview, on Sept. 11 to ABC News.
Asked what insight she had gained from living so close to Russia, she said: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."
CNN: Sarah Palin Has Never Seen Russia From Alaska
Just when you thought the whole "I can see Russia from Alaska" thing couldn't get any funnier...CNN's Gary Tuchman delivers the goods: it turns out that Sarah Palin has never seen Russia from Alaska.
Tuchman went up to the part of Alaska from which you can actually see Russia, a remote island called Little Diomede located just 2.4 miles from its Russian twin, Big Diomede.
It turns out Gary Tuchman's trip to Little Diomede sets him apart from Sarah Palin -- because she's never actually been there, nor has she set eyes on its neighbor in Russia.
