Kerry: Palin should check out 'the view from her front porch' Posted: 06:33 PM ET
From CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Call it Kerry vs. Palin, Round 2.
Massachusetts Democrat Sen. John Kerry and Alaska's Republican Gov. Sarah Palin are sparring again, this time over climate change and energy policy.
Kerry has taken to liberal Web site The Huffington Post to respond to an op-ed by Palin published Tuesday in the Washington Post.
In her op-ed, Palin slams President Obama's cap-and-trade energy plan, saying she believes the plan is "an enormous threat to our economy."
In his response, Kerry takes a dig at Palin in an apparent reference to Tina Fey's "I can see Russia from my house" take-off on Palin.
"The global climate change crisis threatens our economy and our national security in profound ways," writes Kerry.
"Governor Palin need no look further than the view from her front porch in Alaska to see how destructive this crisis can be," says Kerry, pointing to a two-year-old New York Times report about a small Alaskan village facing destruction because of melting permafrost.

Is the permafrost still melting?
Wow, the huffington post to retort Palin’s op-ed in a ‘real’ newspaper.
Bad as Bush was, at least that horse faced fool didn’t win.
“The global climate change crisis threatens our economy and our national security in profound ways,” writes Kerry.
:::::::::
I guess Washington has been taken over by con-men, thugs, communists and morons. It just keeps getting worse....
Shut up Ketchup Boy!
Palin: Kerry should check out the view from one of Teresa’s front porches.
I guess Lurch hasn’t been back here in the People’s Republic of MA recently. Cool temps and lots of rain.
I still haven’t put my AC’s in yet and its mid July.
Kerry was in Vietnam?
John, Why such a long face?
If kerry ever took his head out of his @ss, he might have a “view”
What a pompous idiot he is!
Christmas in Cambodia.
Kerry should take a look at my thermometer. 48 degrees in southern Michigan this morning.... IN FREAKIN JULY!!!!
Without realizing it, the a$$clown is correct. But not in the way that he thinks (assuming, of course, that he is capable of rational thought).
What an ignorant fool Kerry is.
It was TINA FAY’s IMPERSONATION of Gov. Palin that said she could see Russia from her front porch, NOT SARAH PALIN!!!
He should look out from his porch and see all of thse wind turbines they built...oh, wait. BTW, was he in ‘Nam or something?
a$$hat is the new a$$clown.
Well, you horse- faced Ketchup Klown, from her front porch she can see that you got nothin’ in your ‘front porch’ if you get my drift (nudge, nudge-wink, wink).

Same here in New Hampshire.
70’s during the day, 40’s at night.
And if the sun gets behind a cloud during the day, the temperature quickly plummets to the upper 50’s.
I heard a rumor that John “effing” Kerry may have been in Vietnam.
Does he mean the growing Glaciers or the good economy that Alaska still has compared to the lower 48?
Just askin.
Meanwhile, Kerry looks out the front porch of one of his Sugar Mama’s mansions.
Maybe a small issue but I think and hope Sarah (if she runs in 2012) should bring up this whole “Russia from my house” lie. She could even play the tape of the Charlie Gibson excerpt for people and then show a picture proving you CAN see Russia from Alaska. As a former journalism student she could explain how lies gain credence.
Typically, people that live on lakes consider the side facing the water to be the "front". I imagine the view right now would be one of liquid water and quite pleasant. Give it a few months and the view will be quite different, but equally pleasant, if you enjoy snowscape.
Kerry wouldn't survive an Alaskan winter, he'd be crying to be back in Vietnam.
Disclaimer: I've never even been to Alaska (an oversight I would like to correct) but I can imagine (not to mention read) what a *itch its winters are.
47 degrees this morning in Chardon, Ohio. I came close to turning the heat on.
Breathtaking!
Cambodia, at Christmas time. ;)
Kerry’s view from his front porch: A drunk Teresa snapping her fingers, yelling “Heel”, while pointing at a scuffed pair of Pradas. Clean it up you gigilo-boot-lick.
PALIN 2012 (sticker on my car)
Alaska is truly a awesome place - I really need to get back there sometime.
P.S. John Kerry served in Vietnam.
You no make sense.
They’re pretty stupid when they can’t even understand a simple metaphor.
Good ole John F’n. The idiots idiot. He is such a moron that he’s giving monons a bad name.
His comprehension of important issues doesn’t go beyond the colors in a box of Crayons!
For July, I can get used to this kind of weather.
The fact that he’s blogging at the Huffington Post says a lot about him, none of it good.
I think Palin’s view of the White House is getting clearer from her front porch.
54 degrees here in Pittsburgh.
And we’re just about 40 miles north of the Mason-Dixon line.
Wow, Kerry reads a news paper every two years. Who would have guessed?
If he would read the news a little more often he might have read how the earth has been steadily cooling for the past decade.
Hey, gin and raisins!
Exactly—she’s bigger than that now. MoveOn’s fundraising campaign clearly pits her against Obama’s cap and trade: there’s no reason to go up against the mere junior Senator from MA.
Gigolo say what?
The view from her front lawn is of a lake. The view looking back from the lake ain't bad. Get a good look...it's the future Western White House:
Boston has been sliding into the mud for the last 400 years too.
“Reading Gov. Palin’s op-ed too often it sounds like the only threats America faces are solely economic. But that’s not what our intelligence experts and military leaders tell us,” writes Kerry.
Was Kerry in the military?
It’s amazing to me that Massachusetts continues to elect two elitist jerks as their senators term after term. One who has never worked a day in his life due to his father’s bootlegging business and the other, who also has never worked a day in his life but marries rich women, the most recent who inherited her money from a deceased Republican. If this scenario was presented in a work of fiction the author would be laughed out of his publisher’s office.
How's the view from the back porch, Kerry?
