“Sometimes it is very helpful to set the record straight, as my friend from Tennessee talked about earlier, and I thought that would be highly appropriate, given some of the lighthearted and sometimes mean-spirited barbs that have been sent the way of former Governor, Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. So I just wanted to set the record straight, Mr. Speaker, so that people will understand, and the Congressional Record will properly reflect just how prescient that Sarah Palin has been in the past. We are going back 5\1/2\ years, but this was an interview that Charles Gibson did that gave rise to a ``Saturday Night Live'' skit.

Let's start with Russia and Georgia. The administration has said, we have got to maintain the territorial integrity of Georgia. Do you believe the United States should try to restore Georgia and sovereignty over South Ossetia and Abkhazia? Sarah Palin: First off, we're going to continue good relations with Saakashvili there. I was able to speak with him the other day and giving him my commitment, as John McCain's running mate, that we will be committed to Georgia. And we've got to keep an eye on Russia.…”
