rehmwa 2 #27 August 16, 2012 Quote>You think she said she could see Russia? Not her, Alaska. "They’re our next-door neighbors. And you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska." Is that the actual quote? seriously? That's the big deal? Are the two masses anywhere in sight of each other? I suspect they might be. making pointless hay in politics is really crap Hell, I can see Wisconsin from lots of places in Minnesota. Crap, I better not run for office. edit: However, I take heart that we now having the real discussion about politicians that NEEDS to take place. The one about how stupid they really all do seem to be. And we want them to take care of us? NO THANKS ...

I suspect that's also a preferred negative spin. But ok. And it would be silly to try to make that a positive on the ol' resume. If all she had was a role as governor and not much else for foreign policy, and that's the best she could do, well, that sucks, but honesty is better than lying about being a war hero, I guess. the misdirect is going nicely, though - no one has even lately talked about the Biden's latest idiotic statements ...

rushmc 23 #34 August 16, 2012 The two Diomede islands in the Bering Strait are only two miles apart. The big Diomede belongs to Russia while the little Diomede is part of Alaska. So, without worrying about the horizon, one can easily see Russia from Alaska. or The mountains in far eastern Russia are easily visible from Gambel, on St. Lawrence Is., AK. You may not be able to see the ground in Russia from mainland AK, but high mountain peaks are easily seen, especially from SLI."America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

So, without worrying about the horizon, one can easily see Russia from Alaska. No one ever questioned that - well, no one with any knowledge of geography. No, it was her citing of this as being remotely relevant about foreign affairs (she's clueless even by American standards) that got all the laughs. Just as her experience as governor of a state that gets all its income from mineral rights (ooh, tough work!) doesn't have the value she suggests for running the country.

The alternate explanation to the media treating Biden differently from Palin is that she was significantly more stupid than Biden. I know that you will never, ever consider that to be even remotely a possibility. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
