She never said that, idiot.

No, neither did Al Gore say that he invented the Internet. But it's ever so
much fun to repeat these things because they accurately reflect the person
in question -- or at least a certain perception of them.

What Sarah Palin DID say, and to this day insists on defending, is that
because it is possible to see Russia from an island which is part of Alaska,
she has "foreign policy experience." Face it: That's a pretty idiotic thing
to say. And Al Gore DID say that he "took the initiative in creating the
Internet," which is almost just as stupid.

Sarah Palin will be forever known as the woman who said she can see Russia
from her house. I'm okay with that, even knowing that it's not true.
