Palin's Foreign Policy Experience According to Fox

[NYCGirl]

From Jane Hamsher (Firedoglake) on Twitter:

Fox News says that Palin has foreign policy experience because Alaska is kinda near Russia. No shit.

5. Wha?

Perhaps she interviewed a foreign athlete at some point?

When the Faux journalist reported that, did he or she then start hyperventelating into a brown paper bag?

6. I guess being next to Canada means she has diplomatic experience?

And being close to water means she has military (naval) experience?

Deadliest Catch

9. I knew it! When I saw the subject line, I knew the post was going to say that those idiots

12. Let me guess:

she's going to claim military service for occasionally "going commando"?

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Wonder how long it took Faux News to even figure that "Alaska is kinda near Russia " out?

[MurrayDelph]

15. ...and when she competed in beauty pageants

she got a Brazilian wax.

[SoCalDem]

16. She's familiar with both kinds of Russians

[Bethesda Home]

17. Alaska is kind of close to...

...The United States of America too.

That reminds me of a quote from TNR: "The main reason South Americans like Miami is because it's close to America".

19. And here's the proof from Think Progress:

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/08/29/doocy-palin-russia/

Discussing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s (R) prospects as Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) running mate this morning on Fox and Friends, Brian Kilmeade said Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) “is going to capitalize” in a debate with Palin because “she has no international relations experience, she’s not the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.” Co-host Steve Doocy then jumped in to try to set the record straight.

DOOCY: But the other thing about her, she does know about international relations because she is right up there in Alaska right next door to Russia

Watch it at link above

Democratic strategist Bob Beckel astutely noted: “Believe me Steve; it has nothing to do with that.”
