New Yorker Cover Mocks Palin's Claim Of Foreign Policy Experience

Gawker, Marc Ambinder and our own Rachel Sklar note that the New Yorker is poking some fun at Sarah Palin for her rather dubious claim that Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience. Scroll down for a full size image of the cover.

What we don't need is for Palin to have an electronic prompter strapped to her back

like Bush did in his debate.

An electronic homeland security type check must be done before the Republican's do this trick again

and as for Diebold do we trust these machined again, They could be the machines safe enough to reliably give us a count down to amagedon, why are we taking the risk again??

It will be tucked into her hairdo. Look for it.

A fat lot of good it did W during that first debate. I wouldn't worry.

omg, why didn't she just admit McCain didn't pick her for foreign policy?

[Phalanxman]

Well, if he didn't pick her for foreign policy, and after listening to her answer on the bailout it is clear she wasn't picked for economic policy, and since we know her domestic policy was to just say "thanks but no thanks" to that bridge to nowhere (although she kept the money), as well as no abortion under any circumstances (or free rape kits, apparently), and her personal policy is one of vindictiveness and cronyism -- well, just what in the heck policy did she get picked for?

[rdipent]

I forgot, what did he pick her for in the first place?

Somebody has to do it. The more media coverage of her ignorance, the better.
