Okay, so my official election coverage boycott lasted--what?--2 days? 1 day? I'll admit, I'm nothin' but a lot of talk and a badge.
Please read the following excerpt from Sarah Palin's interview with Charles Gibson yesterday and tell me why every single American should not be scared shitless to allow her within a 1,000 mile radius (or however far AK is from DC--whichever distance is greater) of the White House:
In her first news interview, Palin urged the admittance of Georgia and Ukraine to NATO. She was asked if the United States would be bound to go to war if Russia invaded Georgia again.
"Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help," she told interviewer Charles Gibson of ABC News.
"And we've got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable," she said.
She's threatening war with Russia. WAR WITH RUSSIA!!!! Is she out of her frickin' mind? We can't even wrap things up in Iraq, but she wants to throw down with Russia?? I don't think I need to point out the hypocrisy inherent in her above quote. Nice that she included the qualifier "democratic," however. Invading smaller non-democratic nations unprovoked is totally acceptable.
P.S. To Russia--if America is stupid enough to elect McCain/Palin and their administration is idiotic enough to declare war with you, please nuke Alaska first.
P.P.S. This crazy cunt scares me so much, I just found myself wishing McCain had chosen Romney. Don't tell Rove. He's smug enough as it is.
