Here are the lyrics so you can sing along...
COURIC: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?Are. You. Shitting. Me?!
PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land- boundary that we have with- Canada. It- it's funny that a comment like that was- kind of made to- cari- I don't know, you know? Reporters-...
COURIC: Mocked?
PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah. Um...
COURIC: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials?
PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our next door neighbors are foreign countries. they're in the state that i am the executive of. And there in Russia --
COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations for example, with the Russians?
PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We do -- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia -- as Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska, It's right over the border. It is from Alaska, that we send those out to make sure an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state.
Seriously, the transcript doesn't do this justice, watch the video; it's like they nominated "Flo" from the Progressive Insurance TV Ads to be VP with her "big tricked out nametag..." No, scratch that... this would be Flo's evil twin...
I am imagining things, or did she just bilge out that U.S. Intelligence/Counter-Intelleigence assets operate out of Alaska for the purpose of Russia surveillance? Yeah, I know it should come as no surprise; the only eye opening thing is that she would say something that idiotic in public.
I don't doubt for a moment that it did not occur to her that Alaska is a U.S. Intelligence Community playground until receiving her first intel briefing the other day. Now she's gots a sekritz 2.
And as for a giant Vladamir Putin Head floating across the Bering Sea and into U.S. airspace... uhh... well, okay... I'd pay to see that. However, I'd have thought that perhaps the rest of us would have noticed that by now as well. Unless perhaps only Sarah can see the giant Putin head...
But that first part was exemplary; talk about a glass jaw. If she had to eat even a tenth of the crap Bill or Hillary did in their first shots at national office, she would have just burst into flames or started speaking in tongues by now.
Perhaps I am in agreement with Biz, when he says the reason McJackelope ditched Letterman Wednesday night was because handlers called him on the special Red Phone in the Straight Talk Express... you know, the one in the glass box that says
"In Case of Vice Presidential Nominee Implosion, Break Glass"and was instructed by the GOP Command Satellite to get his wrinkled geriatric ass out of 30 Rock and over to West 57th Street and "fix that fscking Palin interview Pronto!"
It's funny, the folks over at Comarade Joshua's Kolektiv have finally had enough and now have a story up saying, "TPM has finally gone from contempt to pity..." When Comrade Party Member Greg has to beg readers to write in just to explain what she was saying because, he, like, knows what all those words mean, but yet they still don't scan or form any coherent thought...
We agree, it's just gotten sad.
