Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she's "usually not one to Told-Ya-So," but when it comes to her prediction in 2008 that Russia President Vladimir Putin would one day invade Ukraine, she's claiming her bragging rights.

Palin, on her Facebook page this weekend, (https://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin)said that when she was campaigning in 2008 as Republican presidential candidate John McCain's running mate, she was "derided" for predicting that the Ukraine would be invaded should then-Sen. Barack Obama be elected.

Well, you read my post on yellow journalism, so you know what I think of the vast majority of our media ;)

Well, duh, everyone knows that.

Sarah Palin says she's "usually not one to Told-Ya-So,"
Actually, she is a I-Told-You-So person.

More proof that if you throw enough shit, some will stick.

Nonetheless, both her admiration of Putin and prediction of Ukraine was correct. However, I think most military experts knew the same thing given Putin's previous actions with former USSR satellite countries.

Considering her Ukraine prediction was off (I don't believe this is happening because Obama was elected, and she didn't exactly get the year right), I doubt it she had any more.

The media created that version. They could do the same thing to most politicians if they wanted to. Biden is falling in their laps. Obama is close behind. :wink:
