Sorry, but you got it wrong. Sarah Palin did NOT say that and the fabricated remark is used derisively by primarily the left. If the fool was trying to name drop, perhaps he could have chosen a little better than to repeat a slam you might hear on MSNBC or CNN.

I dunno what world you live in but she said that "You can see Russia from Alaska.

Later on, a comedy skit portrayed her as adding the words "my home".

Both are true but the left took it to mean her home town which is untrue.

The fact is that on a good day you can see Russian territory from Alaskan territory, and the whole controversy is ridiculous.

Now what was it you were saying?

Read the other posts that clearly document what was said, when and by whom. Sarah and Tina.

It is like "Mission Accomplished" in reference to Bush. It makes no difference the original context or intent, it is now universally recognized as a slam against him. If Bill Clinton said that to him at the end of their recent conference, everyone would see it as a back-stab.

Saying "can see" was a very poor choice on the part of the candidate and quite frankly this is the time to be weeding out the weak sisters. We can choose to hold our noses and rally around the best candidate AFTER the primary.

If you don't think "I can see Russia" is used as a derisive remark aimed at Sarah, then I can only shake my head in your general direction.
