'I can see 2022 from my house': Palin taunts Murkowski ahead of Kavanaugh vote

[TexasTowelie]

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a crucial Republican swing vote in Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court, received a playful prodding from the former governor of Alaska on Twitter.

"I can see 2022 from my house," Sarah Palin tweeted on Friday afternoon, mentioning Murkowski. The tweet was widely viewed as a thinly-veiled threat to challenge Murkowski in her 2022 reelection campaign to the Senate.

"From my house" references a 2008 Saturday Night Live sketch mocking Palin, then John McCain's running mate. To this day, many Americans believe it was Palin that said "I can see Russia from my house" when in fact the line was delivered by Tina Fey.

Earlier this year, Palin expressed a willingness to run for public office again, according to The Hill. The publication reported that she told Fox News host Mark Levin in April that she was glad she joined the McCain ticket and would do it again "in a heartbeat."

1. I thought they were leaving Alaska.

2. Who said they would be staying in Alaska

when Sarah can spend most of her time in Washington D.C. instead? They'll keep the house so she can say she is a resident, but most of her time will be on the road giving speeches and taking fact-finding trips.

5. She is insufferable.

I am so sick of these moronic white Republican women, who are deluded enough to think that if they spout snarky slights, that somehow makes them seem clever. Their willingness to suck up to the lords of patriarchy, racism, and rapacious capitalism is nauseating, and makes me feel ashamed to be a white woman. They fool no one with a brain.
