Bridge to Nowhere
These Russians and frmer VPcandidate Palin ought to get together.
They speak the same bureaucratize.
Maybe they could build a bridge from Alaska to Russia.
Yeah.
Like we need a bridge from California to Hawaii.
Just put up a few of those x25x 50 cent a view binocular viewers so Palin can watch Russia and obtain more foreign policy experience for the 2012 election.
Better yet, just buy her and each of the Russian bureaucrats a nice pair of $2,000 Zeiss binoculars and turn'em loose.
Save a billion. :-))
