In 2008, Sarah Palin was mocked for suggesting that the election of Barack Obama could result in Russia invading Ukraine. It now seems Palin’s prediction is coming to fruition, in an “uncontested arrival” kind of way.
Blake Hounshell, a former editor of Foreign Policy who is now an editor with Politico, called Palin’s prediction an “extremely far-fetched scenario” at the time.
Now that it’s not so far-fetched, Hounshell nevertheless is playing it snide:
Yes, Twitter, Sarah Palin totally called this exact Ukraine scenario 6 years ago….

Probably best just to say nothing at this point:

.@blakehounshell Not quite an apology from you to her for your mockery of her back then, but I guess that's a start. #UCanDoIt #BeAMan

Hounshell then tried to play victim:
That time Sarah Palin called me a dummy http://t.co/Tasq60TkEH

The word “dummy” appears nowhere in the article Hounshell linked, and Palin never even mentioned him by name in her comments today.
Dude, just admit you got owned RT “@blakehounshell: That time Sarah Palin called me a dummy"

Good advice at this point.
