Well said, raptor.

[RegulatorCountry]

Don’t know about Chinese, but Japanese would likely render it “Arasa-kura.” Sort of like “beef steak” becoming “biffu-takki.”

[chainsaw]

Will she tell them she can see Hong Kong from Alaska?

No, that’s Tina Fey’s role.

[rbmillerjr]

...ok, you represent Tina Fey and SNL...

If Cheney had a high profile he would be defined by them as the “guy who shoots his friends while hunting”.

Palin hasnt shot a friend, but she has downed some moose.

...and keep the damn safety on lol.

I think she'll tell them that we'd better get moving on energy like the Russians are in the Arctic Ocean and Chinese are in the Gulf of Mexico (for Cuba).

I hope she also mentions nuclear energy and other such projects needing attention- as perhaps a bigger priority than re-writing/nationalizing health care, taxing carbon emmissions, and taking over private businesses.

On these issues, the Dems are running around with their pants down, literally and figueratively.

[Gator113]

I rather doubt that, but there will be mental cripples that will ask such a stupid question.

Yo, Astronut! What she said was that Alaska is visible from parts of her home state. What George W. Bush said was that either an entity was with us or with the terrorists, not, “Either you’re with us or against us.” Be mindful that the press is out to make any remark from a prominent Republican sound as banal as possible and mammals like yourself make their efforts successful.

Also, for your information, the shortest point of the distance between Alaska and Russia is a mile and a half. I run twice that distance in 28mts. 4 days a week. George W. Bush does it in 20mts. and 30secs. 5 days a week.

Go Sarah!

[definitelynotaliberal]

Also, we have only 1 functioning ICBM defense system. And it is in Alaska. From where, precisely, do we anticipate that the ICBMs might come at us in whatever however implausible scenario?

[RRTJSP...........]

The site in Alaska has 30 interceptor missiles. Sarah visited the site several times as Gov.

The site would shoot down any missiles coming from Russia, (the missiles from Russia would come over the Arctic)aimed at the US.

OR, any missiles from Red China or North Korea aimed at Hawaii, or the West Coast of the US.

[LaybackLenny]

"...we believe that she will continue to be a newsmaker in the future and therefore someone we feel that is definitely of interest to fund managers."

Seeing as though she'll be appointing the next SecTreas and Fed chair, that's a given.

[SoCalPol]

Get yourself informed.
Tina Fey said see Russia from my house on SNL
The Palin haters will grasp at anything.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Hey Dufus...

Diomede Islands

Little Diomede Island, Alaska (left), and Big Diomede Island, Russia (right)

You CAN see Russia from here!

[raptor29]

Another good point, well stated.

[SuperLuminal]

Too bad C-Span can't cover it....

[SuperLuminal]

{:-) There you go....Trying to reason with mental midgets with actual facts.....Best just to ignore Assholenaut and his inflatable obama-look-alike boy friend....

[painter]

when you are Alaska, you are separated geographically from the rest of the United States and you can in fact see Russian territory.

Alaska is closer to Russia than the US.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Excellent. Please keep me updated.
