Yes, and Governors routinely order fighter intercepts.

On a personal note, I seem to have gotten this reputation as a "nice guy". I'm not sure that it will hold through the next election cycle. Oh well.

Truly... living in Texas... I get asked why I am voting democratic... fairly often by friends and what not.

This is pretty much what i point to... how can anyone listen to that woman speak and feel any confidence in her as a VERY likely president of this country... I wasn't so much won over by the democrates... as they won by default at this point.

Trade missions are a normal part of any governor's duty. It has almost nothing to do with foreign policy, and certainly has nothing to do with the fact that Alaska and Russia share a border.

I never thought I would live to see the day when someone would finally out-stupefy Dan Quayle. Palin puts him to shame. By her logic I believe since I'm living in New York, I'm now an emissary to Portugal which is my neighbor right across the Atlantic. It's cool, we're tight.

If Barrack had to "suspend his campaign" I'm sure Biden would be able to step in and keep the movement going. I really wonder what Palin can do without McCain...

she seems to be baffled by her own stupidity.

This illustrates how easy it is to shred most GOP talking points if the reporter would only bother to ask a couple of honest questions.

my state shares a border with Pennsylvania so basicly I know all about it. Have I ever been there? Uh no but its right over there so i have plenty of experience. Have I ever talked to someone in pennsylvania? uh.. well no but it shares a border with ohio so I mean im practically an expert on pennsylvania.

The Obama campaign should edit this down to 50 seconds with the lead in, "John McCain said he would pick the most qualified person to be his Vice-Presidential running mate. Do you think he made the right choice?"

Sarah Palin is a moron. My mom would be a better vice president than Sarah Palin. My 11th grade science teacher too. Why not?

Can we add a WTF cubed tag or something to this?! Sadly, those who most need to see THIS example never will.

She is so DUMB

and I can see Russia from my house!

Lets add Joe Biden to that list of people who would be more qualified than her as VP ehh ?

The thing one should really be scared about is that Russia gets drafted as the new common bad guy the Americas has to be protected from (again).

She'd have brought home a lot more points had she actually talked about the global race for the Arctic pole, the new shipment channel which might open up connecting the North Atlantic and Pacific due to global warming and its conflict of ownership, etc.

It's what she's not talking about that makes me want to hide in my cardboard-box because you always have advisers to sort out the other fallout :-P

If you can see Russia from your house... go get me some vodka.

Possibly one of the few times I was glad when a clip cut off the ending.

I'm actually shocked that after being ridiculed during the last few weeks for this absurd line of thinking that she's sticking with the "I'm right up there next to Russia so I have foreign policy experience" bullcrap. That tells you she has nothing else.

And that's scary.

Wow. Just a quick bit of research and it turns out Alaska's trade with Russia is pretty insignificant. In 2006, Alaska only exported $11 million in goods to Russia. That means Russia isn't even one of their Top 20 export partners. The US in total exported $4,701 million to Russia in 2006 so Alaska accounted for 0.2% of that.

So much for those trade missions (were there actually any) to Russia preparing her for the presidency.

i sleep with a russian vote for me! i touched a real one!

check my diplomaterisation skillz:

privyet! ya gavriu pa rusky! tvoy brat eta bolshoy kon! holas amigos! nobombardoski america por favor senor putinski!

btw "trade missions" means "drinking wine in a foreign country while wearing a name badge". i know that because i am a diplomateriserer like i just said ^

Howdy neighbour! We should discuss trading between New York and Portugal, and initiate some sort of cooperation treaty.

This woman pisses me the hell off.
Why is it that the american republican party has such an amazing talent for finding the stupidest, most unqualified, most ignorant idiots to run for president? (I know she's running for vice-president... But come on. Let's not kid ourselves)
She makes Bush sound slighty less stupid, and that's saying much.

Go Sarah! Go... Go hunt some witches, you ignorant dumb hack.

Ooops... Sorry I forgot I can't talk badly about her. She's a woman.

Come on people! Anyone who's played Risk knows that the greatest threat to America comes from Kamchatka!

I'm just so disgusted that Katie Couric has the gall to ask all these tough questions. She must be one of those anti-patriotic sexists that Fox is always talking about.

wow...she actually did it. She actually thought that her living in Alaska gave her "foreign policy credentials". that's awesome. HAHAHA I love this...it's like a soap opera with a retarded character.

LOL! You are my hero, for that

"I don't know. You know." Right on both counts, honey.

And sadly everyday I find people who think her argument is absolutely sound.

Likes nails on a chalkboard...

she sounds like she's in a job interview that's not going well... I guess that's not even an analogy, that's actually what is happening.

Should I be laughing or be scared shitless? I think I'll do both.

Id do er

Zdrastvuite, Ochen priyatnah. Kak vue Pshvaieteu?

I can't spell this crap without a Rusky keyboard

I just got back from Yakutsk

Oh god, this is a *horrorshow. *fear, also, I guess.

Adding video to channels (Fear, Horrorshow) - requested by Fjnbk.

My God, I can't believe she's doing worse in this interview than with Charlie Gibson's. I can't wait for the debate... it's gonna be ugly and delightful.

I love that this is in the horrowshow channel. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so serious and genuinely horrifying. Well, it still is hilarious.

With a population of over 300 million, I keep seeing these clips of McCain and Palin and thinking, is this really the best America can do? Truly staggering.

so by her logic, sitting outside a university will eventually get you a doctorate

Oh my fucking God. This is not even funny.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

America. You're fucking stupid.

Dammit... something really witty that I should have come up with! Very nicely done. You earned that star!

I do believe, however, that Venezuela poses the biggest threat to North America, and Greenland (part of N.A.!?) must be defended against the might buildup of armies in Iceland.
