Via Joan Walsh at Salon, here’s a BoingBoing graphic that’s not to be missed. Seriously, I laughed so loud I startled my neighbors.

Here’s the relevant quote, from Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric:

As Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state.

Incidentally, has McCain lost his mind? Doing a grandstand play about postponing the debate and campaigning (though he continued to fundraise and his ads kept running) doesn’t make him look presidential, it makes him look like he’s desperate and flailing about for attention. John Stewart was hilarious last night. As usual.
