From David Hulen in Anchorage --

The governor's visit to Alaska National Guard troops in Europe continues. Here's a video produced by the National Guard.

And here's a video produced by someone in the audience of a speech to the troops, posted on YouTube. Comments near the end are creating some buzz. She brings up Sen. John Kerry, who earlier in the week caused his own buzz when he was quoted as saying the wrong governor -- Sanford not Palin -- had gone missing.

The Boston Herald, in the midst of the Sanford story earlier in the week, quoted Kerry as saying: "Too bad if a governor had to go missing it couldn't have been the governor of Alaska. You know, Sarah Palin."

Palin asks the troops how they keep up with the what's going on, and mentions TV news. "Some of that stuff you see on TV, you just don't know if you want to believe it." She says she was watching the news. "Then Sen. John Kerry makes this joke," Palin says, "I don't know if you saw this, but he makes this joke saying, 'Aw shoot, of all the governors in the nation who disappeared, too bad it couldn't have been that governor from Alaska.' But the way he said it, he looked quite frustrated, and he looked so sad, and I just wanted to reach out to the TV and say, 'John Kerry, why the long face?'"
