[During] Governor Palin's....first major interview...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":

The liberal "journalist" Eleanor Clift takes a shot at Carly Fiorina in a daily beast column, chiding her for sounding too much like Sarah Palin and her supposed claim that she can see Russia from her window.

That quote is from a Saturday Night Live skit, not from an interview with Sarah Palin.

Sick of seeing this lie in the media.

The slam on Sarah is about halfway down.

So it’s been a distorted lie all along? Dam. I hate Tina Fey anyway. And Sarah is gorgeous. Didn’t the Kenyan say there were 56 states?

Obama said he had campaigned in 57 states.

Possibly it was a slip of the tongue, because as it happens, there are 57 Muslim states in the world.

Needless to say, the Lamestream press ignored it completely.

My oldest will always stand on conservative issues and while he was with a group of kids he heard one girl state Palin is stupid she said she can see Russia.

He pointed out to her about Saturday night live, Tina Fey etc and she had no idea.

It’s a lie which is being used much like Goebbels used lies in Nazi Germany.

If you want to Torture yourself Bookmark Ping to Sarah's List!

If you push a lie often enough, it becomes truth Politics!

Of Course, Hitler said that and look where he wound up, so not good advice IMO.

57 states with 2 more to go is what he said if my memory serves me correctly.
He also said Austrian was a language and as he read the teleprompter he read the words Navy Corp man 3 times and each time pronounced it as Navy corpse man.

There are many more from him too.

In 50 years, (if the planet and society manage to survive,) people will be debating the urban legend of whether Sarah actually said it or not.

Actually he said, “Navy Corpse Man”. Sort of eerie when you see how he has managed the military — especially the Navy Seals.

I believe he said he had been to 57 states and has ONE more to go and his people would not approve his going to Alaska and Hawaii apparently because it would take so much time and distance and there are so few votes in either one. He knew he would get Hawaii anyway. If I remember correctly and I think I do it actually sounded as if he thought the total was 60 states, not the 57 that people usually refer to. It was probably just a tongue slip but a revealing one.
