Vice Presidential Intellect

I didn't think Sarah Palin had the qualifications to be Vice President. But today, I saw a clip that totally changed my mind:



I think this is what she said:

"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."

Is that even English?! What does that mean?! I don't get it... Am I stupid or something?! But you know what... I've... I've seen that before... sometime not too long ago... what was it? Oh yeah! I remember- this was when Palin was talking about maps and the Iraq:



Damn... I guess that wasn't Palin! I could have sworn it was! I get my people all jumbled and mixed up sometimes :(
