Here's one of Gibson's questions and Palin's answer from last night's interview:
(BEGIN QUOTE) GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you? PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska. (END OF QUOTE) ROFLMAO! Here are a few facts about the island from which you can see Russia. 1. The island about which she is speaking is "Little Diomede," located off of Nome, and the Russia you can see from Little DIomede is Big Diomede. They are 2.4 miles apart. 2. Litle Diomede has an area of 2.5 square miles. 3. Little Diomede's population is 146. 4. There are 42 children in school. So Sarah Palin is stating that, based on the proximity of a very, very, VERY small part of Alaska to Russia, she is qualifid to handle high-level foreign policy issues, including negotiting with Russia's leaders, and has the skills to achieve a peaceful settlement of the Russia/Georgia/ S.Ossetia conflict? WHO IS SHE TRYING TO FOOL HERE? This woman is so self-centered and narcissistic that she is delusional. I think she may actually have serious mental problems. Her delusional assumptions about herself and her bizarre assessment of the importance of her pathetically limited national experience is on he line of the Holiday Inn ad...you know, a surgeon is doing open- heart surgery and the scrub nurse asks "You're new here, Doctor. Where did you get your medical degree?" to which the "surgeon" replies, "Oh, I don't have a medical degree, in fact I failed anatomy, but I DID stay at a Holiday Inn last night." That may be a funny joke on TV, and Paln's self-aggrandizing delusional inflation of her qualifications for being VP and perhaps president ARE a joke, but it is not a funny joke for the United States. Bush Jr's lack of national experience, is poor skills at leadership, and his pathetic knowledge of foreign policy issues has nearly destroyed our country. We can't take any more of the GOP's joke candidates. The risk is too great. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
