No f*cking way!

Bwaaaaaa! The McInsane campaign is still at it. In her first, eagerly-awaited interview with Charles Gibson, Ms Failin repeats the utterly lame, ridiculous repuke talking point on why she's so qualified in safeguarding our national security:

Pressed about what insights into recent Russian actions she gained by living in Alaska, Palin told Gibson, "They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

God, rethugs really do think we're fucking stupid.

Palin, 44, has been Alaska's governor for less than two years and before that was a small-town mayor. Asked whether those were sufficient credentials, Palin said: "It is about reform of government and it's about putting government back on the side of the people, and that has much to do with foreign policy and national security issues."

Huh? Yeah, being able to create ordinances to keep polar bears from raiding garbage cans will really come in handy when the Taliban or the Rooskies decide to attack somewhere. Good gravy. More here. And dKos is noting that even some in McSenile's "base" are calling him on it. Here's Charles Babington, erstwhile McNuts' asskisser:

Republican presidential nominee John McCain, a self-proclaimed tell-it-like-it-is maverick, keeps saying his running mate, Sarah Palin, killed the federally funded Bridge to Nowhere when, in fact, she pulled her support only after the project became a political embarrassment. He accuses Democrat Barack Obama of calling Palin a pig, which did not happen. He says Obama would raise nearly everyone's taxes, when independent groups say 80 percent of families would get tax cuts instead.

Dayyum. About freaking time.
