Sarah Palin commented on the nuclear arms reduction treaty signed with Russia recently. The comments just show how completely out of touch she is with opinions on the nuclear arms stockpiles and even her own party's position.
Public opinion has always been in favour of reductions in the huge inventories. Experts and scientists have often been quoted in saying that nuclear arms reduction and safe disposal of the weapons will reduce the chances of terrorists getting their hands on weapons that may be in less secure countries.
So ole smarty pants Sarah decides to use her smarmy, folksy way of appealing to the lowest common denominator.
Quote: Speaking on
Fox News earlier this week, Palin said the recently negotiated treaty with Russia - seeking a reduction in the number of nuclear weapons held by the two countries - is an "unbelievable" move and that "
no administration in America's history I think would ever have considered such a step.*"
"It's kinda like getting out in the playground, a bunch of kids ready to fight, and one of the kids saying 'go ahead, punch me in the face, I am not going to retaliate, go ahead and do what you want to with me,'" Palin said.
* Oh really. You sure about that Sarah? Ever read any friggin history?

Now the fun thing about this clip is, it shows that
Rudy Giuliani is equally clueless. Both are desperate to find anything to get their names in the media spotlight. Maybe they should dress up like Lady Gaga and Elton John and go on the road together. Wouldn't they make a cute couple?
