You do realize that it was Tina Fey, in the famous SNL skit, who said the Russia-from-my-porch line, and not Sarah Palin. Or do you get all your information from CNN?

You wouldn't believe how many idiots I meet who think it was Palin who said this. More proof we need to win the cultural war as well as elections.

LOL, kittymyrib who thinks Parsy could use some constructive criticism

[definitelynotaliberal]

My own opinion is that anyone who’s able to offer constructive criticism ought to do just that. The more I read of Palin, the more awed I become. So if parsy, who is always quick to offer observations, believes himself to be qualified, I certainly welcome him to take that wheel.

I don’t mean to presume here, but in case parsy, who has his own geographical and intellectual insufficiencies, doesn’t know it, here’s a little gift for him. The distance between Little Diomede Island (Alaska, USA) and Big Diomede Island (Russia) is a mile and a half. If they were to decide to attack us, it is not far-fetched to believe that Alaska would be on the target short-list.

Addendum: Palin said that she could see Russia from parts of her home state. parsy, who probably likes clarifications, would probably have preferred her to expound on it. “Alaskans are always aware of the threat we face given our proximity to nation that we can’t yet count among our friends, ......” Palin appears to take the view of President Calvin Coolidge and American intellectual Mark Twain both of whom believed that ‘tis better to keep one’s mouth closed and be regarded a fool, than to open it and dispel any doubt. parsy, who makes valuable contributions from time to time, would do well to heed that advice.

[parsifal]

I thought I heard Palin say it in a Couric interview. If it was Tina Fey, either I am very stupid, or else Tina Fey is one heck of a good actress.

So, for real, who said it?

parsy, who is hoping he hasn’t started his day off completely insane...

Actually, the joke's on Tina -- which makes it even funnier.

You really can see Russia from several points in Alaska.
