Un-fuckin-believable.

This was- WORD FOR WORD- how he framed a question to Sarah Palin.

Good to know that the media is promoting the "Alaska is practically IN Russia" meme.

Fuck.

3. I don't think he was being sarcastic.

And even if he was most Americans, who are likely to be idiotic, just saw that
and went, Oh yeah, she has been dealing with Russia.

2. I think that's a funny line.

And it's geographically accurate

:shrug:

4. Would he ask the Governor of ME or NY about Canada?

[Renew Deal]

5. If they said that they had foreign policy experience because of a border with Canada.

Then he might.

6. Nope. This is all part of the Republican strategy to scare the shit

out of people. Why reference Canada? They aren't scary enough.
The choose to reference Russia, and scare the shit out of people!
They figure it is a two-fer.

Point out that Russia is part of her back yard-
thereby showing how ballsy she is to live there
because ITS SCARY! and how much she knows about
foreign policy AND safety because dem der rushins are always tryin to steal her caribou.

7. I personally read

it as a veiled slam.
