A bright successful woman such as Sarah Palin is ridiculed for metaphorically stating that she can see Russia from her front porch, but a cretinous liberal woman gets a free pass for not understanding basic political geography. Media are scum.

Sarah never stated that she could see Russia. It was a line from an SNL skit and was attributed to Mrs. Palin by the MSM.

Idiots all.

Palin didn’t say anything like that, you are repeating the parody skit on Saturday Night Live.

What Palin talked about was how close the borders of Alaska and Russia are (only 18 miles across the Bering Straight). She said you can “see” Russia from Alaska, which is perfectly true when the conditions are right.

Shows how effective the establisment media propaganda is. Palin never said that. She said you can see Russia from Alaska, literally true.

Tina Fey, playing Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live, Said she could see Russia from her house. And an election media meme was born.

Even leftwing Snopes grudgingly admits that, as they attempt to smear Palin. Note their choice of picture.

Sarah Palin didn’t ever say even metaphorically, that she can see Russia from her front porch.

Idiot comedienne Tina Fey, impersonating Sarah Palin, made that statement.

What Sarah Palin actually said, which is lost in the liberal media/comedic cesspool, was that you can see part of Russia from Alaskan territory. And that is true. Big Diomede Island, which is Russian territory, is two miles from Little Diomede Island, which is Alaskan territory.

Of course, we can’t let the facts get in the way of the media and comics making Sarah Palin out to be an idiot.

Sarah Palin didn’t state that. Tina Fey as Sarah Palin did. But it was attributed to Palin.

SHE DID NOT SAY THAT! She said you could see Russia from Alaska! It was the skit by Tina Fey that made the leap and it was accepted because the media drove the template.

Palin never said she could see Russia from her front porch. An actress doing an impersonation of Palin said it.

South Korea does not technically border North Korea. There’s a DMZ between the two countries. But I do NOT believe this is what Hillary meant.
