Couric presses Palin on "Alaska is close to Russia" nonsense
Here's part two of Sarah Palin's disastrous interview with Katie Couric. Yesterday Palin couldn't provide a single example of John McCain favoring market regulations, and today she tries to defend the foreign policy "experience" she gleaned from being Governor of a state that's close to Russia.

COURIC: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?
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: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?
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: Mock?
PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.
COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.
PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our-- 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-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is-- from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to-- to our state.
If she can't even manage a fluffy bunny special interview what's going to happen when she's got to face Bidden?
What is she, an air traffic controller? I live close to silicon valley, but you don't see me pretending to run google or the Jet Propulsion Lab.
Palin isn't qualified!
Let the other ballot qualified presidential candidates debate!
Here is Nader on the bailout.
Does Alaska REALLY have trade agreements with Russia?
This is a Trailer for a new Hollywood movie, isn't it?
omfg
Sarah Palin would make a great Tucker Bounds.
I have to admit, I feel really sorry for her. Kind of like a dog with 3 legs and no eyes --- can't help but feel pity...
Oooh boy.
Nada @ 1:
I can not wait for her to debate Biden.
Watch her suddenly become ill...
or her daughter goes into labor, so she can't make it.
oh, you know, reporters and their pesky questions.
oh, my god, the stupid - it HURTS!
I don't understand how that woman manages to avoid walking into walls.
I guess this means the Governor of Louisiana would make a great weatherman, cuz the hurricane was right at their border.
IM SOLD!
Oh. my. god.
I just watched this and other parts of the interview on CBS eve news. She's in so over her head.
Absolutely painful. I almost feel embarrassed for her. Reminds me of the Miss Teen beauty pageant
contestant and her rambling about "the Iraq~~everywhere and such as"...
OK I'm convinced. Give her the launch codes.
harvey bushell @ 15:
That's a great idea. Too bad I'm not smart with computers and stuff.
I've solved it. She's Vicki from Small Wonder all grown up and the software isn't capable of new data updates.

Counterpoint:

by Gov. Sarah Palin, Republican Vice Presidential Nominee
You just can't make this stuff up!
Isn't this the same idiotic argument they made for Bush II? That he had spoken second grade Spanish to Vincente Fox, ergo he had some kind of foreign policy cred?
I wonder what makes them think they can get away with running the same plays in another championship game without getting stomped?
"It– it’s funny that a comment like that was– kind of made to– cari– I don’t know, you know? Reporters"
Her excellent education really shines here. Impressive vocabulary.
cari... cari what Sarah? Caricature? Yes thats a word. Dont be afraid to say it next time.
harvey bushell @ 15:
Except "World Peace" wouldn't be the response to the "thing she most wanted."
She'd probably be just as stumped by that poser, though.
You need help to complete your simplistic sentence from Katie fucking Couric ?
Are you fucking kidding me ?
This dope possesses the intellect of a potted plant ......................
This would be comparable to Bush saying he had excellent foreign policy experience because his state borders Mexico. Or that he had excellent flight combat experience because he defended Texas airspace from the North Vietnamese airforce.
Katie Couric's gotta be the most ethereal of the SCUM lightweights, and St. Sarah was befudded even by her marshmallows?
With his drooping left eye looking down the bombsight into hell, he's got no more than 30-36 mos, and most of that on debilitating chemo, ya gotta figger Cheney's gonna be standing by to take up his old duties when Sarah herself needs a Veep?
If I weren't so afraid of her and McCain getting into office, this would be funny. And it is. But it's also some scary shit.

Theres a brisk trade in Polar Bears between Alaska and Russia.

Russia and Canada are IN Alaska?!? What the fuck?
C'mon, seriously, that HAS to be Tina Fey doing an over-the-top parody. I can't possibly be real. I can't possibly be real...
(I keep repeating that to myself over and over again, but it's not working.)
Ugh. That was painful to listen to when just seeing it on a monitor. It must have caused Couric to gag having to witness it firsthand.
I don't know how even a right wing zealot could fail to see how idiotic Palin's answer was.

Does she really avoid walking into walls?
I think Palin is hammering the nails on her own coffin.
I'm glad that a portion of America gets to see what this woman is actually like.
Please, America? Old Europe is begging you here. Don't let this woman anywhere near the red button, OK? Thanks.
As this is being shown everywhere, and I've seen it many many times, she gets stoooopider every single time I hear it. She couldn't win a high school debate (not against me, anyway!!!)
How very sad.... unfortunately, I thought the same thing when seeing Bush debate Gore in October of 2000. Bush, clearly a (non) intellectual lightweight was pathetic in comparison to Gore. Still....
Worst. Campaign. Ever.
Pressed on why her location enhanced her foreign policy experience, Palin said: "Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of." She added that when Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin "rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska."

So when Putin jacks off in Russia, it lands on Sarah's face? Somehow, I can believe it...
355 Andy Says: Andy @ 353:
Feck me! This would be funny if it wasn’t so serious. To use an analogy Russel Brand used on the recent MTV awards about Bushy, this woman should be allowed to be in charge of a pair of scissors.
OOPS. I meant ’shouldn’t be allowed’ not ’should be allowed’. I was under the misguided impression that being in such close proximity to a thesaurus next to my computer would mean I had enough grammatical experience to be education secretary. I promise to try harder next time.
BTW, I’m being plagued by witches. Does anyone know a cure?
______________________________________________________________
Carry a piece of iron in your pocket. That's a generic cure for all evil sendings. Some people put aluminum foil as a lining in a hat. That what I thought tin hat meant on blogs. Some people put bent nails around their beds. There's also the witches bottle filled with rosemary, needles, pins and red wine (the original ingredients were too gross involving the victims urine, blood, and a red thread.)
And if the witch is cute, give her a good f***ing.
"when Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin “rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go? It’s Alaska.”
Apparently they don't sell globes in Alaska.
The most direct route from Moscow to DC doesn't come any where near Alaska.
It's no wonder that the rest of the world thinks we're idiots.
If McCain/Palin even have a snowball's chance in hell, this country must truly be a huge pack of freakin' morons.
Oh and if the witch is directly in front of you, you can do this:

It's called the manu cornatu and is supposed to ward off the Evil Eye. Of course if they are a witch they'll know that you know, and if they're not, they'll think you're a Texas A&M fan or a metalhead.
"as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America"
What is he a giant or something???
This woman is STUPID
TakeAmericaBarack @ 29:
When I saw the clip, I read it as "Our next door neighbors are foreign countries there in the state that I am the executive of." Still a whole bunch of stupid, though.
Maritime –adjective, noun (occ.)
1. connected with the sea in relation to navigation, shipping, etc.
2. of or pertaining to the sea: maritime resources.
3. bordering on the sea: maritime provinces.
4. living near or in the sea: maritime plants.
5. characteristic of a sailor; nautical: maritime clothing.
6. Alaskan term for the process of what happens after a hockey player knocks up your teenage daughter: you did what?! well, I guess it's maritime.
It gets more painful every time I see it. It's like she's living in a Monty Python sketch.
COURIC: "You’ve cited Alaska’s proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?"
PALIN: "I can't brain today. I have dumb."
Someone else said exactly what I've been thinking when listening to Sarah Palin...Is this Miss Teen South Carolina?

McBoob and Failin...Older than dirt and dumber than dirt
She must be part of the GOP plan to 'enhance' Bush's legacy.
As impossible as it may seem, she actually makes Bush appear more articulate. She's killing McCain however, but I think they lost hope for him months ago. It's all about saving Bush's ass now. Which has been the GOP mission for 8 years now.

This is no longer funny. It is damn scary. My skin crawls at the thought of another stolen election and this Bush in drag a heart beat away from the oval office. OMG OMG OMG OMG
This would be hysterical if she wasn't applying for the job as Vice President of the most powerful country in the world. The fact she can answer these questions with a straight face is remarkable. It's like a bizarre episode from "Northern Exposure"
Here in Texas I live pretty close to the Mexican border. Please, puh-leez, can I be the ambassador to Mexico, huh, Sarah, huh?
The implosion of the McCain/Palin ticket will occur tonight during the debate. The world will witness John McCain's exhibiting the first stages of dementia. There will not be a need for additional debates between the two.
The bullshit ends tonight!

wow, that's great. i can pack my resume too! i grew up 5 miles from a nike anti-ballistic missle base so i'm sure i must qualify as an expert in strategic arms studies! wheeeeee dr. strangelove here i come.
Focusing on Palin, for a lefty, is like masturbation.
It feels good, but ultimately is empty.
ElleninBigD @ 27:
Yeah, too true. Sheer embarrassment. Is she the best the Republicans have got? Sheesh.
How anyone can say Palin is intelligent is beyond me. She sounds downright dumm to me
Holy Shit. McCain better hide her until after the election. They said Biden was going to damage the Obama campaign. Ladies and gentlemen we are watching the McCain campaign implode, and I cannot look away. This is fucking great.
HOLY SHIT! I said it out loud. I'm all alone in my den and when that video ended I actually said it loud.
Rarely is the question asked, "Is our McBrains Failin?"
Presenting the Palin/McCain Administration:
Secretary of State: Sarah Palin's Neighbor
Just think of the impeccable logic! He's got the same foreign policy experience his wife does! Alaska equally next to Russia for him as it is for Sarah!
Secretary of the Navy: Arnold Scwharzeneggar
His naval experience is overwhelming! He governs a state right next to the sea! And when asked about the job, the Governator said, "If you go to the beach, or another part of the coast of California, you can actually see the sea!"
Secretary of Transportation: Dale Earnhart Jr.
Who better to head up the transportation department than a guy who actually drives cars for a living!?
Secretary of Health and Human Services: Richard Simmons
With experience on his resume like sweatin' to the oldies, Simmons will keep us all healthy and humanly served.
Secretary of Defense: Little Old Lady
Yes, this little old lady has plenty of defense experience. She defended herself against a would-be robber by hitting him with her purse!
Secretary of Education: 7-yeal-old Girl
Awesome experience with our public schools -- she's still in in them!
And . . . heading up the Environmental Protection Agency: Hootie, the Spotted Owl
Of course, he'll protect our environment. He's actually part of it! He's lived in it all his life, as an endangered species no less!
Guardian UK: Video shows Palin in anti-witchcraft prayer
(includes 9+ min video)
Here's the final 2 min 50 sec where Multhee prays over Sarah:
Sarah Palin, Thomas Muthee and witchcraft
This prayer service was held before Palin's election to the Governorship of Alaska; the prayer is for finances for that campaign, and to rebuke the witches.
.. enjoy !

Cultural trade agreements, but not commodities. Those would be in violation of federal law. Alaska's Senator Stevens (yes, the one currently in fedral court to face the music on charges of corruption) has been trying for years to alter the law so Alaska can sell oil directly to Russia and the Asian nations, but with no luck. International trade agreements can only be entered into by Congress.
So, in short, another lie by the Barracuda.
Q: What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney?
A: Lipstick.
A.) Belabor: argue or elaborate (a subject) in excessive detail: belabor the obvious. B.) Point: an argument or idea put forward by a person in discussion: he made the point that economic regulation involves controls on pricing. Was Katie Couric making a point, or was she asking a question? Beyond the two pertinent and most recent examples of John McCain’s record as provided by Sarah Palin, was Katie eliciting information in excessive detail, belaboring a point, or just murdering the King’s English? Fact is, Ms. Couric really did want a list, and Ms. Palin offered to provide one. So, what’s the correct answer? You’re right Katie, John is an obvious fake, and I’m totally clueless. D’oh! Sorry for not coming-out with that right away. But it’s almost moose season; come-on up to the cabin (you can see the Kremlin from the roof), I’ve got two wonderful new moose hats for you and Charlie Gibson: http://theseedsof9-11.com

Debates are in a few hours! I'll be watching! I hope everyone here does as well!
JD @ 397:
Wrong buddy,
Through the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority. Direct trade with Russia, student exchanges, direct flights, etc have been going on for 10 years, and continued under Governor Palin. Last year the Skagway Ore Terminal went back in operation, with direct shipments to Russia. A lot of Alaska oilfield expertise is going to Sakhalin, etc. also, ie live in Alaska, commute to Russia for shift work, same as up on the north slope.

Oh, man..I'm getting my party platter order in NOW for the Biden-Palin debate. It's going to be like a shark in a kiddy-pool...
Alaskan @ 352:
Are you retarded? Alaska has always got $2 back from the feds for every buck you cocksuckers paid in taxes. The lower 48 paid the taxes to buy your state from the Czar. The lower 48's taxes paid to build the Highway. We paid to build the infrastructure in your ungrateful-ass' state. You people have been on welfare since the day you were born. Prosperity is not a result of natural resources, but of manufacturing, and tanning hides and drying fish ain't manufacturing. For every minority in the cities on welfare, there are 10 ignorant-ass white folks in the so-called 'heartland' on welfare, only when white folks get it, they don't call it 'welfare', instead it's called 'the farm bill' or 'subsidized irrigation' or 'subsidized power' or 'Uncle Ted's earmarks'. You are not Daniel Boone or Kit Carson living the free self-sufficient life in the wild: you're just another piece of trailer trash living on welfare. Get over yourself.
I predict that "Evita" Palin will just repeat and repeat points from her acceptance speech even if she is asked to elaborate further, she won't be able to and THAT is when it will become even more obvious she has no depth, can't think further than her 3X5 cards or History for Dummies. Now, of course she could also throw us a fast curve ball and sound somewhat knowlegdable, but then I also have a bridge to sell you in Alaska. However, don't underestimate, Evita, because make no mistake about it she IS a ruthless politician and those can be the most dangerous. I'm hoping she'll develop the McRepugnant smirk and tell us once again about the 'good and bad' guys. Oooooooh, scrary.
Nada @ 1:
Postpone, then cancel altogether.
I am so proud to have her as my governor. *drips sarcasm*
Of all the people to try and get people excited about alaska and women in high level governement positions, this has proven to be a very poor joke. Not only does it show that she is incapable of answering easy questions about her vice presidency it hurts women in power. It also makes alaska look like a joke to elect a person like this. I'm starting to become offended every time she speaks.
Wow, she even makes Couric look like a real journalist.
As executive leader of Alaska she also has done trade missions with Santa Clause.
And he's a shrewd Mo Fo!

2 words. Train Wreck
If this is the best that the Republicans have to offer (that's a mouthful after bar-setting by the Nixon/Reagan/Bush I/Dubya administrations), then it's time for the teeming unwashed to stake out a little turf in D.C., erect a 21st century version of the guillotine (if you don't support capital punishment, then having to listen to a "mix" of speeches by Tricky Dick, Cowboy Ronnie, Fascist Bush I and the incoherent ramblings of the coke-head warmonger), and start dragging the fuckheads who actually thought that this piece of fluff was a serious candidate for any public office to meet the "blade". Worked well in Paris circa 1789.
"As Putin rears his head"?
WTF?!
This woman doesn't have a clue. I never thought someone could make Dubya look smart, but by God, Palin does just that.
There's more "air space" in between her ears than there is over the entire state of Alaska.
is it just me or are you also reminded of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww
[A]s Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska.
The best way to get from Moscow to Washington D.C. is to travel east across all of Russia's vast wasteland, veer north across the Siberian tundra, head toward Alaska, and then head back south across Canada?

You came here, you sat down with me to talk, the American people want to know, so AGAIN, I need to ask you, DID you ever have any type of negotiations or communcation with anybody in Russia.
McCain has put this country in an incredible position of danger for ourselves as citizens of the U.S. and those citizens that we respect and value from all foreign countries.
U.S. is a melting pot of many diiferent cultures and beliefs. We pride ourselves living in a country where all can worship , and where church and state are divided. Our founding fathers are turning in their graves at the possibility that Palin thinks she knows what best for this country, not the constitution, but an individual who does not love our country enough to admit she is out of her league and resign for THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY>
McCain should be concerned that he has already displayed signs of his old age by selecting a running mate that does NOT have Americas best interest at heart, but HERSELF and the limelight.
PALIN is dangerous, (Simpson's job at the nuclear power plant was to "push the red button when he felt it was the right thing to do"..Simpson is Palin - how DARE she put this country at risk for her own gain....HOW DARE MCCAIN put our country in such a frantic state!!!!
HE IS ALREADY SHOWING SIGNS OF DEMENTIA BY PICKING pALIN AS HIS RUNNING MATE!!!
GOD HELP US!!!
Palin hater all the way!
Last time I checked States were not allowed to negotiate any type of treaty (trade agreements) with a foreign nation.
This vp candidate is dangerous.
The thought of Sarah Palin walking around in the White House scares me so much that I'm even more afraid of that possibility than I am watching my life savings evaporate.

I don't know how they'll do it, but they'll never let her debate Biden.
I found something nice to say about Sarah. She knows her geography. Canada on one side, Russia on the other. Next flashcard!
PALIN: "We have trade missions back and forth. We– we do– it’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border. It is– from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to– to our state. "
What is she talking about? Let's see.. "as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the US". What does that even mean?
Next: "...where do they go?" Who are "they"? Putins heads? Russian airplanes?
Then: "It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia because they are right there. "Send those"? Again what is she talking about? Who are "those"?
Does wiping your ass once a day make you a proctologist? Does this make Sarah Palin a Doctor?
She seemed to think Couric was asking her to define "proximity." help us jebus.

Anonymous Hussein @ 4:
Sure they do. Washington has trade agreements with all sorts of countries for our agricultural products. Doesn't mean our governor is qualified to be VP, just means she's doing her job as governor.
This Palin thing is beyond remarkable, it's Felliniesque in it's grotesquetudiness (thanks GWB, before you were president I could never have made up a word like that, and people say we haven't gained anything from your stealing the office, hrrrumph I say)
Apparently, Palin's close proximity to Russia isn't serving her to well. If it did she would know that Dmitry Medvedev is now the President of Russia, Not Putin. Good lord, she couldn't even get that right.
We should just elect her and mccain.. if we are as fucked as they say we are... might as go down laughing.
Later on in the interview, she criticized Obama for wanting to use methods of diplomacy to talk to world leaders like Ahmadinejad, forgetting, apparently, that that one guy she had just met - ohhh, what's his name, again? - oh, that's right, HENRY KISSINGER wants to use diplomatic policies as well. Katie Couric later said that Palin had since changed her answer and suddenly approves of diplomatic talks.
I think I finally understand why the McCain campaign won't let her take any questions, because...damn.

Did anyone tell KKKarl that Pretty Woman was a fictional movie, not a how-to manual on how to back-door this woman into (potentially) the US Presidency?
The more she talks- the more I realize why the McCain campaign so quickly assumed Obama was talking about Palin with the 'lipstick on a pig' quip.
its about time a reporter asked about negotiations with Russia.
I'm not as concerned with Putin's airspace as I am with the airspace between the good Governess' ears.
Not a good showing for Madam Palin. Kitty Carwreck wasn't bad though.
"My experience as...uh...governor of Alaska is..uh..relevant because Russia is close and if Putin decides to push the button we might, you know, have to go, uhhh, nooclear and stuff...."
VALLEY GIRL, SHE'S A VALLEY GIRL.........
God, I wish Zappa was alive to see this.
Yeah, Palin's "foreign policy" experience rises from Alaska's proximity to Russia and Canada, she said. But she's never been in contact with the government of either country and certainly hasn't negotiated any trade agreements with Russia. Gee, together with McCain, the two of them don't even equal one dufus.

Whatever Palin was talking about, it isn't the State of Alaska that keeps an eye on Russia and Alaska's airspace -- that's the responsibility of the US DoD from its facilities in Alaska. She has absolutely nothing to do with it, sort of like she isn't the CIC of the Alaska National Guard as she claimed.
My money is on a mono outbreak in the Palin family. That or measles.
our next door neighbors are foreign countries.
How unique!
