Today on ABC’s This Week, Cindy McCain tried to rebut the criticism that Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) has no national experience by taking a talking point from Fox’s Steve Doocy. McCain pointed to the fact that Palin’s state is near Russia:
It doesn’t appear that Palin has ever even traveled to Russia, despite her state’s proximity. In fact, she didn’t even have a passport until 2007, when she visited troops stationed in Kuwait and Germany. She has also visited Ireland.Cindy Lou Hensley McCain, you wouldn't recognize "a great mind" if you lived with one... which you don't.
I live in a state (California) that is the closest in proximity to Mexico. I've even traveled there, yes, more than once. I guess my vast experience heretofore qualifies me to be commander in chief.

the republican talking heads actually used the fact that texas borders mexico to pump up bush's total lack of experience at/interest in/awareness of foreign policy in 2000.
And they keep forgetting that Canada is even closer to Alaska than Russia is. They're leaving out half of her experience!
Mellow, did it work? ; )
Chris, I answered you down thread.
I live near a school. I should be Secretary of the Department of Education.
I've also flown on many planes. I am therefore well-qualified to be an airline pilot or head of Air Combat Command.
I bet there is a lot of moaning and eyeball rolling whenever they hear Cindy Airhead is headed to the beer offices.
I got my first passport last year, too, but I'm just a private citizen who took a trip to Costa Rica. It's not enough to be next door to Russia; one has to care about cultivating a productive relationship, too. I would expected at least some visits to talk about the proposed bridge between the countries, even if the engineers were skeptical about the project (no more a leap of faith than young-Earth creationism).
I'm neighbors with members of REM and the tour manager for Derek Trucks, but I don't expect to be asked to sub for any of them on short notice.
Gotta - emailed you. That wasn't me. :)
Something INCREDIBLY rude I just read-
Viagra - Vagina '08
Paddy, we can't say that joke wasn't invited.
Oh dear. That IS rude. Private parts must be exempt from... most... election jokes. ; )
Heh, it was in the comments over at Jed Report on the vid of Mc eyeing Palin's ass.
OMG, this is too much fun.
And the size of the lapel pin she has on! The more desperate they get, the bigger the jewelery.
It is rude.
It should read
Prick/Palin '08
Oh oh eve.... the use of "prick" opens us up to p words......
Evers! HA!
Aren't Doocy and Mrs. McCain embarassed by how stupid that sounds.... oh wait... forget it.
Jon is my new best friend because he's neighbors with some of REM, who are my favoritest band of all time. Own every album, even Around The Sun. Jon, be my new bestest friend, puh-lease? Laffy and Bucky and Clancy and Paddy can share me with another, I promise...
I live near Mickey Rooney.
While I love Mickey Rooney, Laffers, he is not responsible for the album that changed my life when i was seven and in love with my best friend's college aged older brother ( who is old and fat now... HA!) who went to school at Georgia Tech and would travel up to Athens for the music scene there. I don't know exactly how many times I've listened to Murmur in my life time, but it's enough to realize I can no longer waste time wondering if Michael Stipe meant something by the lyrics of " Sitting Still".
What, 1940s Judy Garland duets aren't good enough?
Oh... okay.
Garland-Rooney duets are good enough, Laffers, but still no " Time After Time ( Annelise)" or " It's The End Of The World As we Know It ( And I Feel Fine)".
That last song may be used by me a lot during the upcoming apocalypse.
Hey, Kirsten, write me anytime...would love to host you in Athens. Going by your profile, you ought to enjoy my record collection :)
