Because you can’t talk about Alaska and stupid ideas without thinking of Palin.

> No, Palin blew the whole line of questions. Notice that Gibson asked her a specific question, _“Do you believe the United States should try to restore Georgian sovereignty over South Ossetia and Abkhazia?”_…

What I said was that she gave it more of a shot than \*"They’re our next-door neighbors, and \*  
\*you can \*\*actually see Russia \*_from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska"_ and she did.

For the rest of it I agree with your appraisal.
