Apparently, the talking points go both ways between Fox News and the Republicans. Today on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Cindy McCain took a cue from Fox world affairs genius / weatherman Steve Doocy. McCain defended Sarah Palin’s readiness to run our foreign and military policy by noting that Alaska is right next to Russia. (Video here.)
And here’s the original argument, as articulated by Doocy:
Let’s not forget Alaska’s international border with Mexico.
Oh, and Anchorage is closer to Moscow (and Tokyo, and Pyongyang) than Washington D.C. is.
Clearly, the woman is qualified.
