"Alaska IS the closest state to Russia" - Cindy McCain

[dooner]

During an interview with George Stephanopolous (This Week/ABC) this morning Cindy McCain explained Sarah Palin's foreign policy experience:

...."Well George, Alaska IS the closest state to Russia!"

And sadly, she wasn't joking.

[Thrill]

1. And he let her get away with it? Thats Journalism for you

[Arrowhead2k1]

2. She's supposed to be a fellow private pilot.

Dumb as a sack of nails.

[liberalmuse]

3. Jesus Christ, the stupidity.

WTF is that supposed to mean?

[jgraz]

4. Next they will say Alaska is bigger than most countries.

You know it's coming.

[DangerousRhythm]

5. Don't forget she also said she can get the job done because she's a mom.

Sickeningly stupid and downright frightening.

[donco6]

6. Foreign policy by osmosis?

This is about as effective as sleeping on your College Algebra textbook, hoping something seeps into your head the night before the final.

[Cha]

7. cindy mccain's statements show why she's too

stupid to be the First Lady of a Country as great as our's can be again.

[SteelPenguin]

8. yeah...it's pathetic

Alaska is also close to space. It's only 30 miles from space. She's an expert on NASA and space policy too I guess too.

[bookman]

9. Cindy found that out on FOX

Did Steve Douchey say that on Fox?

[all.of.me]

10. dumb & dumber. nt

[ensho]

11. it is the closest

one reason the neo cons/oil Barons chose Palin

[neomonkey]

12. And don't forget,

Alaska is also the closest state to the North Pole!!

Which makes Sarah the most obvious head of the Department of Santa Claus.

[givemebackmycountry]

13. Charlie Crist of Florida is ALL pissed off...

Let's face it, Florida is close to Cuba so using this logic, that makes Crist an expert on Communism.

[BeyondGeography]

14. Actually, she is joking, the whole McCain campaign is a joke

as is the conservative wing of the Republican Party. The goal is to turn our government into a joke and leave the door wide open for private interests, and it has been going on at least since Reagan.

[JaneQPublic]

15. If Pawlenty was chosen, they would be saying the same about Minn. & Canada (nt)

[scarface2004]

16. texas is pretty close to mexico!

kay bailey anyone?

[Lucinda]

17. Palin was tapped because of the energy issue, though I assume Palin has some knowledge

and experience in foreign affairs via trade and her border security. Alaska does several billion dollars of trade annually with several foreign countries.

She was tapped because of her interest in energy issues, both renewable, and in using our reserves rather than foreign dependence, and because shes a woman. They want the indy vote and to pick off people pissed about our primary.

Biden is our Foregin Relations guy, Mc Cain is theirs.

[ErinBerin84]

18. I couldn't believe it when she said that without irony...

[redqueen]

19. That's the 'pukes defense of Steve Doocy - he was kidding!

Figures that DLC George wouldn't say jack shit about the stupidity of it.

Whore.

[npincus]

20. ...and Portugal is close to New Jersey..."

:rofl:

[WindRiverMan]

21. Okay, so now we know

John likes em young and dumb.....Might explain his VP pick as well.

[Hepburn]

22. Stepfored wife ~~ IQ of zero....

...and dressed like she is a street walker.

Great...just what we need as First Lady.

:puke:

[Bad Thoughts]

23. She forgot the State of Hypothermia

It's the one you enter while freezing to death walking from Alaska to Russia.
