Palin-Couric, Part II: "Our Next Door Neighbors Are Foreign Countries"

Part II of Katie Couric's interview with the Governor of Alaska accomplished the unimaginable - it topped Part I.

I'm beginning to wonder if Saturday Night Live shouldn't send a huge fruit basket to the Palin household. Or a few bottles of wine, maybe some Baked Alaska - something to thank the Governor for easing the workload at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

I can almost see a hospital from my house. Literally Katie, just a few blocks away. I can perform open heart surgery...

In all fairness to Palin, I believe she might be slightly more free flowing if the McCain campaign didn't handcuff her with strict talking points. In some cases, you can almost see her trying to remember exactly what they told her to say (like yesterday's question on Rick Davis). But nothing explains this exchange on Russia. You'd think after a month of campaigning, the team would come up with something better than "there's a narrow maritime border...".
