Default Palin has never been to the part of Alaska which can see Russia!

On this remote island called Little Diomede (where they can see Russia!) they don't have TV's, internet, and barely have running water, and most of the 150 residents don't even know who Sarah Palin is!

Anderson Cooper 360: Blog Archive - You CAN see Russia from here! - Blogs from CNN.com

As a matter of fact, no Alaska governor in the state’s nearly 50 year history has ever visited the remote outpost that still has little running water. We were curious what the Little Diomeders thought about Palin’s claim of foreign policy experience because of the proximity of Siberia. Interestingly, many of these Alaskans had no idea who Sarah Palin was! It turns out they have no TV on the island, and therefore, many don’t follow the news.

The island’s mayor has heard of her though. No American mayor resides in a city closer to Russia then Andrew Milligrock, and he says being two miles from Russia doesn’t give him any foreign policy expertise.

You are missing the point, that if she wanted to go there, she could see it if she wanted to... it is not about the facts, it is about the spin...

I'm sorry. Maybe I'm being dense. But why does it matter if Palin has never seen Russia from a remote island in Alaska again?

because thats her experience in foreign policy. Thats her stated stance. If she would've been honest and said, "I have none" none of this would be an issue.

The issue would've been her lack of experience, not the falsehood of the experience itself.

typical magicians strategy.....distraction and illusion.




I Love Sarah Palin! keep it up!

Guess no one ever heard of a metaphorical statement...

Who gives a *****, what does this new "Tin God Messiah" that Democrats are falling to their knees over know about Russia?

A thread based on a throwaway line? What is the relevancy?
