"She's gov of a state which, if it was a country, would be the 20th largest country in the world."

[jenmito]

Heather Wilson said this, regarding the "land mass" of Alaska, explaining why Palin is qualified to be VP. :rofl:

[gmoney]

1. And if moose could vote, she wouldn't be governor

[jenmito]

3. Moose and wolves. n/t

[msanthrope]

19. Polar bears, too..n/t

[iiibbb]

29. Polar bears are actually very conservative.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

4. ROFL....you owe me a keyboard

:spray:

[polmaven]

43. And you owe me one!

That is a GREAT button!:spray:

[MaineDem]

8. LOL - moose and caribou

Very true indeed!

[babylonsister]

2. Oh no she didn't. Did she happen to mention populations?

She's not the sharpest tack in the box, is she.

[baldguy]

5. People don't matter; acreage does.

[jenmito]

6. Of course not. McCain has used similar lines to "explain" how important her job as governor is.

:rofl:

[XemaSab]

7. Yeah, and it's got as many people as Comoros

:eyes:

[remember2000forever]

9. Betcha Don't Know The 2nd Largest Country. Canada! Just like Alaska, mostly uninhabited Territory!

[kenny blankenship]

10. Lulz. There are more people in my quarter of Atlanta!

[Happyhippychick]

11. And if Alaska was a sandwich it would be the biggest fucking sandwich ever!!

[Alter Ego]

12. Not population-wise, it wouldn't.

Heather Wilson's a dumb fucking fuck.

[kwolf68]

13. Trouble is honey

Much of that land mass is controlled by the federal government.

[Blue_In_AK]

31. Oh, snap. I pointed that out, too.

Alaska isn't a state, it's more like a colony.

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. Yes, and right up there with Greenland in terms of world power and interest!

Sorry to insult Greenland, actually - there is likely some spectacular wildlife there that Palin would love to get her hands on...

[Overseas]

15. Heather forgets that God has called Sarah to serve.

She doesn't need no stinkin' qualifications after that.

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. delete...dupe

[Mz Pip]

17. That is just stupid

Really stupid. I'll bet Heather Wilson said it with that big cocky grin she has when she thinks she is nailing some talking point.

Dirt doesn't vote, neither does ice.

Manhattan Island has more people than quite a few states and it's tiny tiny tiny. Guess those several million people don't count for much. Except votes.

[gordianot]

18. Why does MSNBC keep trotting out her opinion?

The sight of her makes me ill.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. I love how Republicans confuse people with land mass when making their arguments.

Remember those "Red vs. Blue counties" maps in 2000 that they used to ignore the fact Gore won the popular vote? And how because Bush won a bunch of sparsely populated counties in the Upper Midwest, that somehow meant he got more votes than Gore.

[vanderBeth]

21. Populations wise, it would beat....

the Vatican?

[Betsy Ross]

22. And a population of the ?th largest city in the world

19th in the US: Charlotte, NC.

[Elidor]

23. Is she auditioning for Fox?

That's the logical place for her to go, now that she's out of a job.

[Zuiderelle]

24. She should go govern Antarctica next then, if land mass without population is her expertise.

[zulchzulu]

25. Delaware has more people than Alaska... n/t

[Ikonoklast]

42. My county has more people than Alaska.

But I don't want one of my county commissioners running the country, either.

[AZBlue]

26. Yeah, forget population and financial stats - lets just go with square miles!

Good idea!
:rofl:

[melody]

27. If the size of the brain was the mass of the mind, a bear would be shooting at man's behind

Old couplets come in handy.

God, they are realllllly reaching now.

[ITsec]

28. 663,267 sq miles.... 683,478 people....

roughly 1 living, breathing, human being per square mile.

Wow. She must work hard governing that.

[Blue_In_AK]

30. Come on, Heather, get real.

Yeah, it's a big state, but most of it is owned by the feds. Besides which, there are fewer people here than in some counties in the Lower 48.

[jenmito]

33. It's not only Heather. McCain calls it "one of the largest states in the country."

Ridiculous for them to go by LAND mass.

[verges]

38. One of? nt

[jenmito]

41. MAYBE he says THE largest. n/t

[underpants]

32. Obama represented about the same population.. in the ILLINOIS SENATE

:eyes:

Dirt don't vote Heather

[RichardRay]

34. Great. And Vladimir Putin has years as the president

of an entire country that's several times that size - that doesn't mean I want him as VP, either.

[Doctor_J]

35. If it were a CITY, it would be the 160th largest in the world

smaller than 160 cities in population

[Jed Dilligan]

36. Wow, that really reveals neocon thinking

The ideal is very few people taking up lots of land. Kinda reminds me of lebensraum...

[Bryn]

37. Now I wanna be governor of Alaska!

I promise to protect wolves, polar bears, moose, caribou, whales and all other wildlife. No Drill Baby Drill. I will remove those big boxes like Wal-Mart. I will deport those drunken crooky redneck repugs to nowhere. :)

[PatGund]

39. Wow....

Guess Heather Wilson is a size queen.....

[Crunchy Frog]

40. What ranking would Greenland have in that scheme?

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

44. it's smaller than MEMPHIS

[Orsino]

45. I guess that Steven Harper is really *really* qualified to be our VP, then.

Perhaps Putin would rear his head into the ring, as well?

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

46. The metro area of Mpls/St. Paul has about five times the population

of Alaska. Roughly 3 million.

[1corona4u]

47. But only 600K live there...

so that's nothing.

[Sheltiemama]

48. I doubt she'd get the moose vote.

Considering her love of hunting ...

[crossroads]

49. Funny!

:rofl:
