Worried that Sarah Palin, who may potentially be a heartbeat away from the presidency, has little international experience? Fret no more! The McCain camp has its talking points together and has reassured the nation that Alaska is next to Russia.
Next, our potential first lady, Cindy McCain, conducts a mini political science seminar, stating, "And also remember, Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia, so it's not as if she doesn't understand what's at stake here... She has a great mind, and she has a very serious direction in where she goes." Witness one great mind paying homage to another:
Finally, our potential president, John McCain, who admitted that he doesn't know much about economics but is "Mr. Foreign Policy," notwithstanding his mention of the nonexistent Iraq-Pakistan border, mistaking Somalia for Sudan, reference to "President Putin of Germany," confusing Sunnis for Shiites in Iraq, and statements about Czechoslovakia, which no longer exists. McCain shows his international savvy when he points out, "Alaska is right next to Russia. She understands that." To make sure that you understand that too, view this video:

Here's Doocy stating on August 29, 2009, "She does know about international relations because she is right up there in Alaska, right next door to Russia":

HOW the HELL IS this even possible?
