Sarah Palin Discusses Russia With Katie Couric
Uploaded by: EternalMedia
Video Description:
Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin defended her comment that the proximity of Russia to her home state of Alaska gives her foreign policy experience, explaining in a CBS interview aired Thursday that "we have trade missions back and forth."
Palin, the 44-year-old Alaska governor, has never visited Russia and had never traveled outside North America until last year. She also had never met a foreign leader until her trip this week to New York. In the interview, she did not offer any examples of being involved in any negotiations with Russia.
Palin's foreign policy experience came up when she gave her first major interview, on Sept. 11 to ABC News. Asked what insight she had gained from living so close to Russia, she said: "They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."
The comment met with derision from Palin's critics and was turned into a punch line for a "Saturday Night Live" skit featuring actress Tina Fey. Appearing as Palin, she proclaimed, "I can see Russia from my house!"

I'm suprised that many people still refuse that Sarah was a joke! The big Joke of this 2008 campaign. Come on people!!!! JFK : "a wise man said an error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it." I like and understand some republican, but for you and for the country let's be honest about Palin : she was not ready for this time. It doesn't mean she will never be ready. But in 2008 campaign, she was a joke, maybe the McCain's last crazy joke!
"I guess thats the word, yeah..."
Even more impressive, she speaks in circles that never close and become cyclical. I think that defies the laws of Quantum Physics somehow.
