"I can see Russia from Alaska" - NOT !!!
Just when you thought the whole "I can see Russia from Alaska" thing couldn't get any funnier... CNN's Gary Tuchman delivers the goods.
It turns out that Sarah Palin has never seen Russia from Alaska.
Tuchman went up to the part of Alaska from which you can actually see Russia, a remote island called Little Diomede located just 2.4 miles from it's Russian twin, Big Diomede. Gary Tuchman's trip to Little Diomede sets him apart from Sarah Palin -- because she's never been there nor has she set eyes on its neighbor in Russia.
The Answer to the BIG Question: "(has ) Sarah Palin has ever visited this island?" According to the natives, the answer is "no."
The Answer to the Almost-As-BIG Question: "does proximity to Russia create expertise in foreign policy?" No American mayor resides in a city closer to Russia than Andrew Milligrock, and he says being two miles from Russia doesn’t give him any foreign policy expertise.

Gleefully stolen (with a few embellishments) from BuzzFlash - an excellent source of news that is usually overlooked by the so-called Liberal Media1
1 You know the So-Called-Liberal-Media - the "news media" that gave George Bush a free pass on everything from before his appointment by the Supreme Court until 2006, when Americans had their fill of the BuSh BS.
