Folks Who Can See Russia From Their Houses Don’t Know Who Sarah Palin Is

CNN apparently sent a reporter to Little Diomede, the Alaskan island where you can actually see Russia from your house.  Some rather amusing trivia was uncovered:

We were curious if Sarah Palin has ever visited this island. According to the natives, the answer is no.

As a matter of fact, no Alaska governor in the state’s nearly 50 year history has ever visited the remote outpost that still has little running water. We were curious what the Little Diomeders thought about Palin’s claim of foreign policy experience because of the proximity of Siberia. Interestingly, many of these Alaskans had no idea who Sarah Palin was! It turns out they have no TV on the island, and therefore, many don’t follow the news.

The island’s mayor has heard of her though. No American mayor resides in a city closer to Russia than Andrew Milligrock, and he says being two miles from Russia doesn’t give him any foreign policy expertise.

Rather than dance around her lack of foreign policy experience, shouldn’t Sarah Palin instead be promoting her executive and reform credentials?
