Sarah Palin did NOT say, “I can see Russia from my house”.
Exactly, that came from Saturday Night Live etc.
And people think Cary Grant used to say “Jud-y, Jud-y, Jud-y”. Actually actor/impressionist Larry Storch was in the middle of imitating Grant in a club and someone told him Judy Garland walked in, and he started to say that in Grant’s voice.
Thus the mistaken idea that it was a Grant saying.

>>Legend has it that Storch was in the middle of a Grant impersonation when Judy Garland walked in. Apparently, this is how he addressed the star. Even though the line was never said in any of Grant’s movies, Storch’s impression inexplicably stuck and was often used by other impressionists.
