"You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."

Oh good grief.

From the CS Monitor:

It was actually comedian Tina Fey, who was impersonating Ms. Palin on Saturday Night Live, who uttered the line that is now widely attributed to the former Alaska governor.

The basis for this line comes from a September 2008 interview with ABC News's Charles Gibson, who asked Palin what insights she had from her state being so close to Russia. She responded: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

From Slate:

In her Sept. 11 interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson, Sarah Palin had this to say about Russia: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

Seriously? You're going to post an argument over my use of her full quote. Talk about being nitpicky. I post the full quote and you post "this is her exact quote" and then you post her partial quote!

From Snopes:

The basis for the line was Governor Palin's 11 September 2008 appearance on ABC News, her first major interview after being tapped as the vice-presidential nominee. During that appearance, interviewer Charles Gibson asked her what insight she had gained from living so close to Russia, and she responded: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska"

When talking about what she says is her foreign policy experience, Sarah Palin told ABC news "...you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

Feeling better now.

Actually, I was responding to your initial post, ending with the mocking SNL skit, before you came back and included her actual quote.

The quote I posted was the quote we were using at the time of the taking down of Sarah.

Most people were correcting Tina Fey's slandering of Sarah with just the later part.

Anyway, this is the link we were using, which never included the latter part and I didn't recall her ever saying it.

PALIN: They're our next door neighbors. And you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/0..._n_125818.html

But, looking further into the transcript, you are right, it includes the full quote:

PALIN: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.

So, my question is, after you ended your post with the SNL skit that mocked Palin, what made you come back and add the actual quote? Because it really appears that you want to continue mocking her.

I was thinking that votivesoul's post was making you feel a little bad about your treatment of her, which isn't a bad thing to happen.

Wait a tick...I came back? I came back?? HA! I did no such thing!

1. I did NOT "come back and [include] her actual quote!" Look again, and make sure you take the literal view and don't try to guess at what the website doesn't show. And don't try to explain what the website was thinking or why. Just look below the post. Now, do you see a "Last edited by n david" line under that post? No, you don't.

Here's why. I wrote it that way intentionally. I put the asterisks and made the font small as a disclaimer line. Because I knew if I didn't include the actual quote, you would post and whine about it. So I included that in the original post. I did not come back and add it afterwards, due to feeling some sort of guilt.

2. "It really appears that you want to continue mocking her." Uhm, okay. I'm an equal opportunity mocker, unlike you. See, you have no problem mocking obama or other democrats. You certainly have no problem trashing Romney. That's well documented in your posts on here. So stop being a hypocrite!

Here's one you may like. obama needs hooked on phonics to help him spell. Maybe the reason he can't give or get "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" is because he can't spell "R-S-P-E-C-T."

Here's another... Sheila Jackson Lee (from TX!) said we [US] have lasted "some 400 years." Now that's just plain ignorant right there. It's time TX voters send her into retirement, and it's time Congress imposes a knowledge test on its members. That should be something no member of Congress ever gets wrong.

See, I've posted stuff like this about obama and the Democrats over and over with no complaint or attack from you. Yet, the moment I do the same against someone you like, you go all out trying to guess at what they meant (which you should immediately cease and desist from doing), and complain about me acting like a jerk, being nitpicky or calling me a liar.

I knew there would be a problem when I read the first three words, "I was thinking."



Please. That post was as I described before: a bunch of self-righteous, judgemental baloney.

You're on a roll, PO! It's not a roll I'd want to be on, but it's a roll nevertheless!

1. Claimed Delay didn't say something...but he did.
2. Claimed I was incorrect with Palin's actual quote...but I wasn't.
3. Claimed I came back and edited my post to include a quote...but I didn't.



#s one and two are the worst, because it's just laziness and outright bias against me to get those wrong. Delay's quote you completely ignored. And it took me less than 10 seconds to google for Palin's exact quote....from multiple sources....which you could've found yourself.

Edit...and here's what the website does when you edit a post.

Actually, you did. From the time I saw what you posted, logged in to respond, you had already come back and added the last paragraph to your post. When you hit "Post Reply", and then log in to the forum, you go directly to the post in the thread you want to respond to. After I logged in, I was on your post and noticed you added in. Pretty quick work, but I'm glad you did add the quote.

I did not! That was with the original post.

BTW, if you click "post reply" and then someone edits the post you're replying to, it keeps the original post in your reply. I know this, because I've responded to someone's post, only to see they edited the original post and removed or changed what I was posting about.

Also, there's no way I could have written the quote and changed the font size without the website noticing and marking the edit.

1. Claimed Delay didn't say "God wrote"....but he did
2. Claimed I didn't use correct quote...but I did
3. Claimed I came back and added the quote...but I didn't

Strike three...you're out!
