>> You know exactly what I meant..........her exaggeration was so ridiculous that it allowed a comedian to make a joke out of it. If you don't mean what you say, you should say so. There is no indication you knew, before the last hour, that she never said it. Palin's precise quote was: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." And this is absolutely factual information, which even NOW you're calling an "exaggeration". >> if it makes you feel better, believe what you want to believe. How I "feel" has nothing to do with it. I'm more interested in facts, and as is typical you have the facts wrong.

Sarah Palin has never seen Russia from Alaska. Just when you thought the whole "I can see Russia from Alaska" thing couldn't get any funnier...CNN's Gary Tuchman delivers the goods: it turns out that Sarah Palin has never seen Russia from Alaska. Tuchman went up to the part of Alaska from which you can actually see Russia, a remote island called Little Diomede located just 2.4 miles from its Russian twin, Big Diomede. It turns out Gary Tuchman's trip to Little Diomede sets him apart from Sarah Palin -- because she's never actually been there, nor has she set eyes on its neighbor in Russia. Tuchman says that only 150 people live on Little Diomede, and that the town of Diomede has no streets and no cars. The poverty rate is over 40%, there is no television, and the only practical way to reach it is by helicopter. Anchorage (near Palin's hometown) is 550 miles away. No Alaskan governor has ever visited Little Diomede, though indicted U.S. Senator Ted Stevens has made the trip. The town's residents barely knew who Palin was, and one of them didn't know she was the VP nominee. It's going to be fun watching McCain-land spin this one, and it's going to be even more fun watching Tina Fey parody it.

>> As president, Bush thought Poutine was a prime minister of Canada Obama thought there were 57 states. Obama actually said we were the first country to build an "intercontinental railroad". I don't cite these as substantive points because I realize that shit is going to happen -- but I would make the point that Obama's innumerable blunders were not under specious circumstances like those where Bush responded to a DIRECT QUESTION posed by a reporter -- a question that was, itself, flawed. That's just silly nonsense, and Obama could be easily tripped up on something like this any day of the week. But frankly, no reporter I know of has ever tried pull something like this on Obama (conservative leaning reporters tend to professionals, the leftwing nutjob reporters are just after a story, no matter how unimpressive). That you cited this is absurd and it suggests the best place for you is on one of the numerous nutjob boards on SI. Not to mention that you, yourself, apparently don't know what Poutine is.

John Kerry made up a non existing country in the region around the Black Sea. South America already hates him.

Who is Palin? Is this an elected official with any power whatsover. Who is Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin. What really matters is who is Barry Obama or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid. That's what matters.
