"Alask's Proximity to Russia Certainly Does Give Me Foreign Policy Experience"



This video is jawdropping. Katie Couric gave Palin an opportunity to defend her widely ridiculed prior claims that Alaska’s proximity to Russia and Canada provides her with some sort of foreign policy experience. My favorite parts:

- "Our next door neighbors are foreign countries — they’re in the state that I am the executive of." Jesus, she talks like a 15-year old.

- She claims that Putin flies over Alaska which, I guess, suddenly makes her Henry Kissinger. Who knew?

God, please let this nightmare end. I promise to be good (I'll even stop stalking Scarlett Johansson). Just, please make this all go away.

I also thought it was weird how she said "we have trade missions with them, we do" in response to the question of whether she had ever negotiated with the Russians about anything. It just sounded so furtive and, you know, like a lie.
