Sarah Palin Pre Debate Update

Sarah Palin takes the day again with political blunder after political blunder.  Here are the best of those stories.

CNN: Sarah Palin Has Never Seen Russia From Alaska

Just when you thought the whole “I can see Russia from Alaska” thing couldn’t get any funnier…CNN’s Gary Tuchman delivers the goods: it turns out that Sarah Palin has never seen Russia from Alaska.

Tuchman went up to the part of Alaska from which you can actually see Russia, a remote island called Little Diomede located just 2.4 miles from it’s Russian twin, Big Diomede.

It turns out Gary Tuchman’s trip to Little Diomede sets him apart from Sarah Palin — because she’s never actually been there, nor has she set eyes on its neighbor in Russia.

So she has never seen Russia, not surprising we catch her in a lie, though I have no idea what her excuse is. When McCain lies to us we can chalk it up as elderly onset dementia and just, “Whatever, Grandpa.” Sarah Paling does not have that excuse, may be she thinks lying is okay because Jesus told her Washington is where he wanted her to go and any tactics are okay when the savior tells you to git0r done!

Would love to send a thank you card to whomever picked Palin

Sarah Palin is intellectually bereft of real ideas for leading all of this country out of the George Bush Sewage Dump. However, she is so obviously out of her league on this one. I think more people are going to be watching the VP debate tomorrow night. Policy vs. pageantry. Hmm. I wonder what the country needs more of right now?

Another not so surprising fact has come to light, Sarah Palin had another clandestine email account she used for state business. I keep asking why someone would create such an account if not for bypassing the law. Please Sarah Plain tell us why you went outside the system?

Palin Had Another Private E-Mail Account, Company Says – washingtonpost.com

WASILLA, Alaska, Sept. 30 — Gov. Sarah Palin maintained a private e-mail account that she used to communicate with a small circle of staff members outside the state government’s secure official e-mail system, according to the Wasilla company that established the site.

The account was separate from the Yahoo e-mail address that was abruptly abandoned by the McCain campaign on Sept. 17, the day hackers penetrated the account and posted pages from it on the Internet. Palin had routinely used her Yahoo address for state business.

Quentin Algood, the owner of ITS Alaska, said a discreet e-mail system was created from an old campaign account, with access confined to “a group of people, her closest confidants and co-workers and advisers and the person she sleeps with.”

Sarah Palin said she does not support the morning after pill as a form of contraception, strongly implied that homosexuality was a choice, and could not name a single source of news that she turns to for information, in yet another installment of her interview series with Katie Couric.

Appearing on CBS Evening News, the Alaska Governor seemed calmer than she had been in previous sit downs. But while she only occasionally provided the type of befuddled responses that had even conservatives scratching their heads, her interview was nevertheless shaky.

Asked what newspapers and magazines she reads, Palin – a journalism major in college – could not name one publication.

“I’ve read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media,” she said at first. Couric responded, “What, specifically?”

Sarah Palin just gets pissed off when you mention any of her faux pas.
In runup to debate, Sarah Palin turns up anger

WASHINGTON – With John McCain running interference, Sarah Palin went back for a rematch with Katie Couric Monday while bemoaning the perils of “gotcha journalism.”

Palin is toughening up in the runup to her debate Thursday with Democratic veep hopeful Joe Biden. She headed to McCain’s Arizona hideaway for debate camp. Biden’s sparring partner for debate rehearsals is Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who, like Palin, is a former beauty queen.

Despite her claims Sarah Palin has nothing to do with the Air Force.
NORAD: Sarah Palin has no role in guarding U.S. airspace despite claims in Katie Couric interview

WASHINGTON – When Russian bombers approach American airspace and U.S. Air Force fighters are scrambled, Sarah Palin’s phone doesn’t ring.

The Alaska governor has no command authority over the guardians of U.S. airspace despite her recent suggestion otherwise.

“She doesn’t have any role in that process,” Air Force Maj. Allen Herritage, spokesman for the Alaska North American Aerospace Defense Command, told the Daily News.
