Can we please just stop with some of this silliness. This is our future we're speaking of and the Palin/McCain ticket is making a mockery of the challenges we face.
It seems that the Republican Party, in an effort to try to give Governor Moosebeam some street cred regarding foreign relations, is sticking her face in front of as many individuals as they can find in New York this week.
According to the New York Times:
Ms. Palin is to meet on the same day with President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan. She will also meet Wednesday with President Jalal Talabani of Iraq, President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan and President Mikheil Saakashvili of Georgia.
The sessions are part of an effort to demonstrate that Ms. Palin, Mr. McCain’s running mate, is prepared to operate in the arenas of foreign policy and national security despite criticism of her level of experience. Ms. Palin, who has been the governor of Alaska for less than two years, got her first passport last year.
So, just meeting these individuals gives you instant knowledge into their history, systems of government, specific needs and issues facing their countries.
Great..if that's the case then....
I've slept with a submarine captain, give me command;
I'm friends with a Golden Globe winning producer/director, so why can't I get a damn thing on YouTube?;
I've had cocktails with the Four Tops, guess I can sing;
Roy Orbison sent me flowers...I guess I can sing reaaaaaallly well.
Seriously, stick a tutu on Palin and haul her in front of the Bolshoi Ballet but she still isn't going to be able to dance en pointe.
This farce would be more amusing if it wasn't for the fact that she truly believes that this is all she has to do to be ready to be President.
