Is Palin saying she can see Russia from her backyard a bigger gaffe than this? A colloquial statement vs a factual error?
Palin got ripped as a “dummy” when we all know who the real dummy is.

Sara Palin NEVER said she could see Russia from her backyard. Tina Fey did on Saturday Night Live. Palin actually responded to a question from Charles Gibson about Russia: "They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

And she was RIGHT.

This is what pisses me off so much about the so-called "entertainment industry." Repeat a blatant lie enough and even the people who should know better begin to believe it.

Sarah Palin never said that she could see Russia from her house. That was a Tina Fey joke in a Saturday Night Live skit.
