I Can See Russia...

Actually, the phrase is, “I can see Russia from my house,” and no, it cannot be attributed to Governor Palin. Tina Fey and the media are to thank for making it famous after Governor Palin’s interview with Charlie Gibson in 2008 in which she ACTUALLY said, “They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island (Little Diomede) in Alaska.”

The media’s deliberate attempt to make Governor Palin look like an uneducated idiot when it comes to Russian foreign policy is despicable, but it should have been expected considering that their liberal agenda was to put a socialist in the White House who possesses little legitimate experience.

GIBSON: Let’s start, because we are near Russia, let’s start with Russia and Georgia. The administration has said we’ve got to maintain the territorial integrity of Georgia. Do you believe the United States should try to restore Georgian sovereignty over South Ossetia and Abkhazia?

PALIN: First off, we’re going to continue good relations with Saakashvili there. I was able to speak with him the other day and giving him my commitment, as John McCain’s running mate, that we will be committed to Georgia. And we’ve got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable and we have to keep…  (Continues here at Alaskans4Palin)
