It's Just Joe Being Joe

 During a signing ceremony for the infrastructure bill on Monday, President Biden praised the governors across America he worked with as vice president in the Obama administration—“save one.”

He then took a potshot at former Gov. Sarah Palin without naming her, explaining, the one who "can see Alaska from her porch.”

Biden got the “Saturday Night Live” joke completely wrong, given that he should’ve said Russia, not Alaska. Palin lives in Alaska so obviously she can see Alaska from her porch. But as National Review points out, what makes this “joke” even worse is that is that he was confusing a skit with real life since he was the one debating her as VP when she said there are some parts of Russia that can be seen from Alaska on a clear day. That is true—you can see the country from Little Diomede Island in Alaska.
