i can see Russia!

"They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." -Sarah Palin-

this has been used to defend Palin's "foreign policy experience" by numerous republican politicians and pundits. it's always good to hear someone from the same side of the fence realize the stupidity of thing. you know... i can see the moon from my front porch, well i must be qualified to be an astronaut!

Nebraska Republican Sen Chuck Hagel says of the issue, "I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, 'I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia. That kind of thing is insulting to the American people."

damn right.
