The point is, is that she has got to fire the asscrack that gave her that info to put in her speech. I wouldn’t let that person anywhere near my campaign again.
Incidentally, Palin did NOT say she could see Russia from her house . . . it was part of a comedy script for that jackass on SNL. She said she could see Russia from the Aleutian Islands, which is absolutely true . . . not from her house.
She was making the point that being governor of Alaska was a wee bit different than being the governor of most any other state. Alaska was physically close enough to our mortal enemy to actually see it!
That affects what her role of governor would have entailed and issues she would have faced.
A bit different than being the governor of New Hampshire!
She NEVER said she could see Russia from her house!! It's an amazing crock of bullcrap that uneducated, liberal comedians could possibly spin and lie about this. I still get angry thinking about this.
Palins point was very relevant and she did not make a gaffe in anyway.
It was pure; deliberate character assassination. Part of it may be that the leftists who attempted the smear really are that clueless about Alaska.
I have never been to Alaska; but this is a fact I have known since I was kid. I just assumed everyone knew basic geography, and would know that the the Aleutian Islands tail out within visual distance of Russia..
I guess I assume too much. I guess liberals who never leave large cities just are not that educated about many things.
