Now, you remember what grief Sarah Palin got when she said she could see Russia from her house. You remember that?

Wow, even Rush has had that nonsense meme implanted into his head. Palin never said that - it was Tina Fey in a comedy routine.

Yes. What Sarah said was that you can see Russia from Alaska, which is true.

[SpeakerToAnimals]

That line came from a speech where she was talking about how Alaska is in a unique setting isolated from the rest of the states. There are ICBM sites in Alaska.

The part misquoted by Tina Fey was "There are places in the Aleutian islands from which you can actually see Russia on a clear day".

RUSH: By the way, folks, just to remind you: Sarah Palin never, ever said that she could see Russia from her house. Tina Fey said it on Saturday Night Live impersonating Palin, and it became popularly assumed by people that Palin actually said it. She never said it. Yet Tina Fey impersonating Palin saying that she could see Russia from her house became one of the primary reasons for Republicans to run around saying, “Well, this woman’s not smart enough.

[SuziQ]

Oh, Rush knows Sarah didn’t say that. He was making a point about how the media said she did so often, that many people now BELIEVE she said it.
