What she said was "stupid" only because it was irrelevant. But to be fair, the question itself was stupid, since the interviewer was the first to reference the close proximity of Russia to Alaska.
The issue isn't what she said.
And the issue isn't Tina Fey and SNL.
The problem is that an alarmingly high percentage of democratic voters (you know, the "educated" party) actually believe Palin said it.
