    • Sarah palin never said that... that was Tina Fey as SP (to be fair)PonyBoy
    • Ummm pretty sure Palin did say that and Tina repeated on SNLRamanisky2
    • Not in the dipsy "i'm an idiot' way Tina Fey delivered it. She mentioned in an interview w/Charlie Rose I think (answering his Q) that you can actually see AKPonyBoy
    • He asked a Q about proximity of Russia... she didn't respond "LA LA LAA FROM MY HOUSE!!" like Tina Fey.PonyBoy
    • https://www.youtube.…fooler
    • This interview is even better...I forgot how hilarious she was
      https://youtu.be/gk8…      yuekit
    • I conceded she said it... but A) She's right... you can see it... so what's the big deal? B) I was pointing out that the Tina Fey deal is what folks remember.PonyBoy
    • If you want to get technical that there are 2 islands - one Russia one America - less than 3 miles apart that you can see only when there's clear view, yes.kona
    • But common, your argument is as weak as both of their statements.kona
    • The statement is true, kona—true statement to push a sarcastic statement is kinda silly—you sound like a bandwagon idiot instead of someone with a useful point.PonyBoy
    • good idea, let's make fun of women. here's a list of more GOP broads we can harass...Gnash
    • http://www.cbsnews.c…Gnash
    • "What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of this state give you?"kona
    • "They're our next door neighbors. And you can actually see Russia, from land here in Alaska."

      While technically true, contextually ignorant.      kona
    • Now, let's discuss how a microwave can turn into a camera because I'd really like to know. I literally just installed a new GE microwave this past weekendkona
    • that I fear is taking photos of my family and I.kona
    • What's 'contextually ignorant' is using something joked about on SNL (that happened to be true) to attack an entire political partyPonyBoy
    • "9:37PM - the subject continues to to be unaware of the popcorn setting, thus burning it again. wife unhappy"BonSeff
    • Actually—you may want to look closer at the tech Samsung etc are putting in any of their 'smart' devices—Beavis is not far off here (although tin-foily 4sure)PonyBoy
    • "Microwaves turning into cameras"

      lol BonSeff. It does have a popcorn setting which can only mean one thing, it's a transmitter with a direct feed to the cia      kona
    • "spying from the gubment" was a thing way back when with the xbox 360 and that went no where.kona
    • If you're suggesting "seeing Russia from Alaska" isn't a jackass comment because of her serious speaking manner, you must be that half of Americans.CyBrainX
    • lol @ CyBrain, so truemonospaced
    • Amazing you guys get hung up on a TRUE statement... but Tina Fey said make fun of her... so it must be a jackass statement. :) got itPonyBoy
    • Her statement wasn't true, though. Sure she might be able to see Russia, but her statement that was somehow relevant was a complete crock of BS.monospaced
    • That's what the joke was. Palin being in close proximity to Russia, living in Alaska, was not a selling point on her ability to handle foreign relations.monospaced
    • That's what people got hung up on. It was a claim of such stupidity, levels of which we haven't seen until Trump. Absolutely ridiculous stupid.monospaced
    • She was right to be mocked. She had no insight due to her proximity. She's a jackass, for sure.monospaced
    • Her statement WAS true, mono... you can see Russia from Alaska. :) If you want to say she was avoiding answering a Q cuz it was too hard... I'll give you that.PonyBoy
    • My point from the start here is kona wouldn't have made his post if not for Tina Fey filling your head w/that ditsy bullshit. You can indeed see RUS from AK. :)PonyBoy
    • And if you're gonna run w/Kellyanne and Sarah P as your examples of the state of the GOP you truly aren't paying attention.PonyBoy
    • I'm saying she's clueless. Of course it's true, it's just not answering the question with a truthful, relevant answer. :)monospaced
    • Oh, and Palin is a ditz. She filled the public's head with that idea, not Tina Fey.monospaced
    • The question she was asked was why the fuck does she think being able to see Russia makes her qualified to talk about it politically? It doesn't.monospaced
    • Also, I'm not convinced in the slightest that she can see it from AK in the first place. I guess you're just seeing what my reaction is at this point ;)monospaced
    • oh c'mon... 3 miles on a clear day? I can see over 20 miles from my 4th floor apartment (I can see South Mountain from my house!!) :DPonyBoy
