Since you gave no specifics of your attributing to Palin of a statement of Russia invading American airspace, I just thought you must of had an theory idea while in the bathroom. To satisfy my curiousity, I did search and found there had been violations of American Air space by Russia from a pretty reliable source - in fact, its your quoting bible for researching statements on Google. "Russian bombers have been making flights over the western Pacific for several months.There have been eight incidents off Alaska since July. Among the latest, on September 5, six F-15s from Elmendorf Air Force Base, adjacent to Anchorage, Alaska, intercepted six Russian bombers about 50 miles from the northwest coast of Alaska. Two similar incidents occurred in August, one near Cape Lisburne, Alaska, and the other near Cold Bay, Alaska, west of the Aleutian Islands." http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/11/russian.bomber/index.html You can try spin it all you want but sure seems to be quite accurate and truthful.

Goodman hit the nail on the head and yes there are people like Bob k who would vote for Sarah simply because she was a hockey mom pitbull. Bob K you can go visit Sarah and have her sign your book, use the bridge to no where you may get there quicker..Also Bob K explain away Palin calling the airforce to report the Russians violating American air-space? Palin tried defending her Russian comment by trying to explain away Russia's proximity to Alaska. Bob why do you think Frey was making fun of her, did she pull that joke out of thin air? You had better research this a bit more before making yourself look foolish it was all over the internet.

joe r. must have dyslexia because he can't tell the difference between Tina Fey from SNL and Governor Palin. joe r. do your research a little more carefully - Tina Fey made the comment - "Tina Fey(as Palin) says “I can see Russia from my house”". Just another "untruth" from joe r. as always. By the way, joe . Palin was a Governor and I believe you are just a poster from Willmar, MN.. As to the bobblehead comment, all I have to do is watch any of the Dem/liberal/progressive news coinferences and they are all bobbling their heads - maybe they are really only bobbleheads.

Brain i am not concerned with buying Palins book to enhance her claim to fame, especially when I don't view her as anything but a person who lost the election. I never purchased Obama's book which probably had more substance, since I think the president had more contact with the poor, and the real world then probably Palin ever will. Brian like I stated, if Palin makes a fortune on her book more power to her. Your right Kathy its just like Chinese torture and the far right know better then anyone about illegal torture of prisoners, they condone it!

I just learned that I can cook a chicken, once, for two to eat, twice! I wonder if anything in Palin's book can top that!

Yes Bob k the last election the GOP tried once again to misled everyone but this time it back fired, and thank goodness the voters seen what was going on. Hey Bob K get yourself a Palin book, what are you waiting for? Maybe they will throw in a Palin bobble head, boy wouldn't that be nice? The bottom of the bobble head will read (I seen Russia from my back door, as the head moves back and forth.
