The Daily Mail story today reports that
Sarah Palin has been forced to apologise to the British Embassy in Washington after claiming she had held talks with the ambassador Sir Nigel Sheinwald.
In an answer to questions about her foreign policy experience ahead of tonight's make-or-break vice presidential TV debate, her aides listed numerous contacts with foreign officials - including Sir Nigel.
However the meeting never occurred. Officials at the embassy swiftly contacted the McCain-Palin campaign to inform them of the discrepancy.
It seems like the Palin campaign has touted her meeting with ALL foreign dignitaries listed as attending the US Governor's meeting in July. Although British ambassador Sir Nigel Sheinwald’s name was on that list, he was unable to attend. Wow what a paper-thin level of diplomatic experience Palin has.
