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.
