Because Palin was trying to boost her alleged International Experience, by saying one can see Russia from Alaska. Specifically an uninhabited (uninhabitable) rock off the coast of Alaska. This is on par with saying "I like french culture, especially their fries". The worst part is Alaska boarders Canada, and as Governor of Alaska she actually had dealings with the Canadian government, but she never mentioned that.
Tina Fey's impression was spot on.

Retarded as those who actually think she's worthy to be a President.

There is nothing retarded about it, but the left will do all they can to make Palin look stupid and discredit her, because she is a threat to their ideology.

This was her answer to her experience with foreign diplomacy. It is not like she ever visited there is it?
Why are you bringing this up now? The election is over, she lost. Get over it!

How naive are you and Tallyman? Don't you understand that Tina Fey boosted her career by spoofing Sarah Palin, and that Tina Fey comment was just another one of her Sarah Palin spoofs? And Tallyman, you're clueless about liberals as well as comedic satire.

It's not about what Palin said, it's about what she's done and not done. Her mismanagement at every level, blatant partisanship and obvious inability to grasp complex issues combined with endless scandals and ethics complaints followed by her resignation as governor of Alaska makes her retarded.
The statement you're quoting, which sounds fine to me, isn't what sank her.

Do you understand satire? Maybe you should buy Sarah's book and be really entranced with her genius rhetoric.

Nothing.
Anyone can tell by the posts and the continued mocking in the media that the Left is scared of Palin.
Consider that she doesn't have a political office and the Left can't stop talking about her.
You can tell when a liberal is out of ammunition in a debate...the insults begin.
Standard tired 40 year old Saul Alinsky tactics...yawn.
It'll be funny when she wins in 2012.
Then the media will drag out the Bush jokes and insert her name in there. Doesn't matter if any of it's true or not.
All Sarah has is a Facebook page. I'm sure the Czar of Lack of Freedom of Speech will try and take that away soon.
Shaking in their boots over Sarah Palin.
Nobody kicks a dead dog.

comedians make fun of politicians all the time. think about obama's ears, clinton's mistress and cigar, bush' brain ...
.
retarded is a word that is generally used to describe lower levels of intelligence and not stupid behaviors.
.
palin, young, conservative, attractive, was one way for mccain to go on his ticket...
.
until i get to see more of sarah palin, i'll have to make my personal assessments of her based upon camera footage. my best estimate, at this time, is that her IQ is probably about 100.
.
appeared to the far left to be, well, less intellectually endowed than obama. as such, silly statements that might be overlooked by more intelligent candidates of either party were scrutinized for her. she introduced a stretch of logic in the statement that she had international experience because there were parts of alaska that overlooked russia. that stretch of logic became a favorite comedic point for, what is it now, 14 months?
.
someday, this point will die, i hope.
Do you have a Sarah Palin streak in you?

Is Sarah Palin's time in the sun done or does she still have a useful role to play in national politics?

You're reading What is so retarded about this this comment of Sarah Palin : "They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." Compare to Tina Fey's : "And I can see Russia from my house".
