Chuck Hagel said something about Sarah Palin that caught my eye.
"She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials," Hagel said in an interview. "You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything."...Yeah except Palin didn't say that. Palin said "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska -- from an island in Alaska." Tina Fey, doing her impression of Palin, said "I can see Russia from my house.""I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, 'I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia,'" he said. "That kind of thing is insulting to the American people."
So I guess you could say Fey nailed it, since Hagel is now quoting Fey as Palin to explain why Palin lacks experience.
