Sol, no one thought that, despite what Faux News told you. Palin was answering the question, "What qualifications do you have for foreign policy?" She said she could see Russia from her house. That is not a qualification; that is a non sequiter. "What makes you qualified to drive?" "I can see the DMV from my house."
Or, as Bill Maher said of Glen Rice, "The next time you fuck somebody's brains out, be sure to put 'em back in."
