Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin fired back against Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday calling him a "silly little man" after he said that he was not interested in invading Alaska.
Putin downplayed the value of Alaska during a question-and-answer session in Moscow today, pointing out that it was a cold northern territory.
“What would you need Alaska for?” he said, advising Russians "not be overenthusiastic” about the state.
“Mr. Putin, such a silly little man on this matter of invading Alaska,” Palin said in a written statement to Breitbart News, pointing out that it was obvious that Russia got “screwed” after selling the land to the United States in 1867 for $7.2 million.
“Sure, in hindsight your czars of old may have felt you got screwed in the deal when Abraham Lincoln’s Secretary of State scored on this enormously resource-rich land for just seven cents an acre, but that’s water under the former land bridge,” she said

It was Andrew Johnson’s secretary of state. (Same guy.)
Oh, snap! Vlad’s got a huge ego, will probably be a little miffed if he hears this.
He’s got to have more respect for Sarah than for Zero, Biden, or Kerry.
“that’s water under the former land bridge,” she said”
lol...
The Media STILL can’t admit that she had Putin pegged all along, while Obama got it wrong.
They might get kicked out of the gay bar if they dared admit that.
Putin’s manhood just took a whack.
I guess that will show him.
He’ll respect her for it.
She would tear Putin a new a-hole unlike the Kenyan who can’t bow low enough to him.
Ouch! That’ll leave a mark.
Putin probably has more respect for Sarah Palin than he would ever have for Obama..he knows that with Obama, he owns his ass..he can do whatever he wants without consequences because he knows Obama is much more interested in destroying America than he is dealing with Russia
It would be a great state....if the Feds kept their nose out of it...(Like most states).
So many assets.....
I wonder what the Putin Fan Club around here will say?
I agree he’s got to respect her more than zero, et. al. Putin and Sarah both love their countries - as opposed to zero.
However, pretty sure I wouldn’t have retorted to his comment about Alaska the way she did. I think Putin is more dangerous than silly.
Sure. It’s no fun being Machiavellian if nobody stands up to you at all.
I agree, and I expect Sarah does, too. This is a calculated insult on a non-issue. That's what makes it smart.
Both Putin and Palin answer these questions with some wit and humor. I suspect they’d both be happier discussing stuff with each other than with Obama, who possesses neither wit nor humor.
Its a joke son, a joke.
"Palin is a 'Banderite!'" [snort]
“He’ll respect her for it.”
DING!
We have a winner, folks...
Who's the stupid one now?
