Sarah Palin never claimed she could see Russia from her house that was Tina Fey but she went one better on Glenn Beck's radio show in discussing the tensions in the Korean Peninsula and saying: "We've got to stand with our North Korean allies".
A transcript of the radio show reads:
Interviewer: How would you handle a situation like the one that just developed in North Korea?
Palin: Well, North Korea, this is stemming from a greater problem, when we're all sitting around asking, 'Oh no, what are we going to do,' and we're not having a lot of faith that the White House is going to come out with a strong enough policy to sanction what it is that North Korea is going to do. So this speaks to a bigger picture that certainly scares me in terms of our national security policy. But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies we're bound to by treaty....
Interviewer: South Korean.
Palin: Yes, and we're also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yes.

I bet we did not hear all this foot stomping when Bush said stupid stuff. And he has said plenty. So has Obama. No one on earth doesn’t slip and say stupid stuff sooner or later.
From reading my post in its entirety, you may deduce that I read the transcript AND listened to the audio.
“You’re quoting from a book written by stooges like Mark Halperin? Excerpted in The New York Times?”
Only because she confirmed the premise.
She can Tweet her retraction. The Palinista’s will lap it all up.
Please, please..don’t run for President Ms. Palin.
you are spewing venom with the intent of hurting this woman and her supporters. It is going to be a long two years. you are no conservative, sir. please go elsewhere
Man! I just love to see photos of real AMERICANS meeting - politely - political candidates and the candidates treating them with respect (as opposed to disdain...)
You and Jim look so very nice.
Best thoughts and wishes for your Thanksgiving holiday.
"For my opponents and those in the press trying to blow it all out of proportion in order to sell their product and ad space I say it was merely a slip of the tongue. I know our ally is South Korea just as Barak Obama knows there are only 50 states not "57 with one more to go". So when it comes to discussions as serious as possible war in the Far East or who might be the next President I also say ...
Grow up and act like an American instead of a yellow journalist."
And thus is the end of the Palin Family’s time in the limelight.
Or the Bosnian snipers?
This is a LIVE one.... finally outed himself.
I have worked in radio since I was 16 years old and I have made mistakes. I know production like the back of my hand. I can still make mistakes, EVEN WHEN SCRIPTED...
Miller was even in the Army! During the Cold War, too, I believe.
Who’s Sharah?
I will defend Sarah when the attacks are unfair (see the Frum thread on racism) and criticize her when she is wrong and ignorant.
Just like with any other Republican.
Some people aren’t allowed to hype their number one choice for President in 2012 because they rightfully fear the zot. So instead they try to tear down Palin.
The owner of this site has stated in perfectly clear terms that they won’t be tolerated and good on him for saying it!
Interesting response....I misspell...Sarah misspeaks. People get their pants in a knot.
The fact is Sarah knows she has to be careful..if she runs for office. She also knows the media will be on her in a heartbeat for every infraction no matter how small. What she does with this after she says she’s running will make a difference.
You are right, this is a non-story!
As he traveled to all of our 57 states including the one where Bite-me wanted this guy who’s in a wheelchair to stand up ... oh yeah, the media will jump all over her on this one ...
Excellent response.
