I saw the Gibson interview yesterday on youtube and hell if I’m going to subject myself to Charl!e Gibson again. Honestly, what the hell is a grown man thinking when he goes on TV calling himself Charl!e rather than the grown-up Charles?!
It was to his sanctimonious ass that she first made that comment. As I remarked to parsifal, who has an fondness for clauses that appears to be irritating many FReepers today, what she said was then bastardized and mocked. Hence the reference to that mocking on the interview with Couric. parsifal, who appears vulnerable to manipulation by media types of the Dumbcrap persuasion, has now been brought up to speed and is aware of the distance between Russia and the United States.
Sarah was correct. It appears that Tina Fey's attempt at political humor isn't based on a kernal of truth, it's based instead on a Goebbels-type lie.
But does B.O. know that Russia is visible from one of our 57 states?
Right. Sarah made a correct statement about how geographically close Alaska is to Russia. (This naturally gives Alaskans a different perspective on foreign policy.) Tina Fey then turned Palin's commonsense statement into a smarmy, idiotic "And I can see Russia from my house" comment. It's the latter remark that some people remember as being Palin's.
Wonderfully spot on. Ms. Noonan is so passe and oh how she can’t stand it
(chuckle!)
Just go have coffee with Peggy and then you can be as ‘constructive’ as all the rest of the elitist. Criminy, who dies and appointed you king of the universe?
I don't wish to pile on to you parsy, but I think it would be wise of you to consider as described by the other poster, your vulnerability to propaganda.
It's something we all need to watch.
“parsifal, who has an fondness for clauses that appears to be irritating many FReepers today, “
I assume you meant “causes” —if so the only place where I march to the beat of a different drummer are economics where I think the GOP has been shooting itself in the foot for decades, heck back to the days of Teddy Roosevelt and Taft.
Re Palin, I like her. I think there are some things she needs to do a little differently. I will withhold saying what again until I am sure who it is I have been watching on youtube.
parsy, who’s lips are beginning to get numb
Elitist? Heck, I’m from Arkansas and my two vehicles are both 1985 models. My “retirement plan” is a paid for 1984 trailer. I do have a lot of books and I read and color in them.
parsy, who wishes someone would make him king of he universe
It’s ok parsey... we love you just the way you are. Besides, at least you immediately went out and tried to find ALL sides of the story, didn’t just keep spouting off or, worse, disappear and not bother to even respond.
Look, I dish it out and I ain’t too good to take it. So, pile on when you think necessary. And, really, I don’t think you’re piling on, I think you are just saying what you believe. I do try to get info from as many source as possible and I do go to bad places sometimes.
parsy, who is considering his vulnerability
Reminds me of talking to my daughter. She lived with my fanatically liberal in-laws for several years while in college, and has never been the same.
Welcome to the club Pary.
We all stick our leg in our mouth at some point here at FreeRepublic.
No harm, no foul!

hey parsi - I can’t watch video here so I’m going on memory.
Tina Fey portrayed Palin a few times.
My not-often-reliable memory is telling me Fey made the joke after the Couric interview -and then anti-Palin sentiment spread wide causing the joke itself to become urban legend.
Palin actually said there is a place in Alaska where you can see Russia - which is quite true.
When it is an especially cold winter I suppose it’s possible to even walk from Alaska to Russia.
SW - who is a bit partial to Sarah
Palin said something similar, that you can see Russia from Alaska, and Tina Fey lampooned it having her faux-Palin saying she could see Russia from her house.
It was pretty funny, and Fey’s impressions were spot on, although obviously exagerated for humor.
Palin’s point, though, was missed in all this. Alaskans have direct dealings with Russia on a number of issues, and they have direct dealings with the Canadians on a number of issues. She negotiated with Canada and Canadian companies in order to get her pipeline built. There are fishing and energy and indigenous and trade issues that Alaskans take up directly with Russia and Russian companies. So her point was that living in Alaska you are not isolated from world issues, but rather you are on the front line on a number of things.
That point got lost in all the mockery. I shared the laughter but I understood Palin’s point. I’m not sure everyone did.
For some dime store psycho analysis - look into Peggy’s sad personal life, she doesn’t have it all and her husband is gone. Sarah’s good relationship with her husband must be driving Peggy green with envy. (For that matter - look at emotional alcoholic-wreck Dowd, she couldn’t keep a man tied up in a jail cell.)
