You would think at this point it would be impossible for anyone (especially me) to be stunned or outraged by anything the news media tries to pull when it comes to Sarah Palin. After all, once you have been exposed to a year-long brutal beating, one tends to become numb to a simple low blow. However, the news coverage of her Hong Kong speech still managed to spark the senses on several levels.

If you go to Sarah Palin’s facebook page she has the transcript of alot of her speech. It must have been a good speech. I figure that if it were a bad speech they would mock her for giving a bad speech and if she gave a good speech they would say oh well all she did was read her speech.

When the MSM gets a hold of something, it can’t let go. The Russia thing was a gaffe because they say it was, and it always will be because they’ll keep repeating it.
It was, in fact, a rather weak point. She needn’t have said it. But it was factually accurate, and any little tiny bit of foreign experience is better than the Obama’s absolute-zero experience.
It was totally accurate. What she said was, " From parts of Alaska, I can see Russia". Never was her house mentioned except in Tina Fey's tiny brain. It is true that from some points in Alaska you can see Russian soil.
“It was totally accurate.”
I agree. But was it really necessary? It isn’t the strongest point in favor of her foreign-policy experience. The point about being briefed on international affairs as head of the Alaskan national guard, or whatever it was, is better.
