Palin: Russia, from her house

Hey, can Sarah Palin see Russia from her house?
Yesterday, I wrote a post about her going on "Oprah," and wondered about questions that O would ask Sarah Sixpack Palin. Would O ask, "can you really see Russia from your house?"
I got reax, as we say in the trade. More on that in a bit.
But first, one nice lady wanted to know why I called Sarah "Sixpack."
Good question!
Here's what I said to her:
"It's pet name - a fond one - I adopted for Palin in my blog posts last year; the idea that she's an everyman and woman, who's a hunter, and tough gal, who takes no guff, and can wrestle bears, if she had to, and tells it like it is, and ain't no fancy pants. She drives four-wheelers, and drinks her beer - domestic only - by the six pack.
Of course, she probably doesn't drink beer or wrestle bears. But I don't think "Bear Wrestler" sounds catchy."PHOTOS: Sarah Palin's family and photos of Sarah Palin's early years.
I hope that clears that up.
Speaking of clearing up, I got people telling me that Sarah didn't actually say she could see Russia from her house.
Here's what one of my correspondents said:
"OMG! YOU ARE AN IDIOT, I am sick of idiots in the media and on the blogs talking about "seeing Russia from my backyard.".. please do something the libs have never done, apologize for your stupidity, be the first."
I refuse to apologize! I can prove that she said she saw Russia from her house.
Here's the clip; she even appears with Hillary Clinton in this one.
I am no idiot, sir. As you can see, Sarah did say this, and therefore, no apology forthcoming...
