Until Cheney…

Michele, your feeble attempts to defend Sarah Palin destroy whatever credibility as a thinker you have left.
As Maureen Dowd observed today, “McCain is taking Palin to the opening of the U.N. General Assembly Tuesday to shake hands with some heads of state. You can’t contract foreign policy experience like a rhinovirus. To paraphrase the sniffly Adelaide in `Guys and Dolls.’ a poy-son could develop a cold war.”
Do you honestly believe Sarah Palin is qualified to be VP? Do you think someone who answered “Perhaps so” to the question of whether we need to go to war against Russia, whose claim to having foreign policy experience rests on her being able to see Russia from Alaska, who lied (or allowed the campaign to lie) about her visiting Iraq, should have access the the nuclear code?
In recent days no fewer than five prominent conservative spokespersons including David Brooks, David Frum and Richard Cohen have come forward and admitted that she is unqualified. I wish you’d redeem yourself–at least within the boundaries of this little community–by doing the same.

Correction: Cohen is a moderate liberal who says he was “in the tank for McCain”:
“In an op-ed entitled `The Ugly New McCain,’ Cohen complains that the Republican presidential candidate has now `become the sort of politician he once despised.’
`I am one of the journalists accused over the years of being in the tank for McCain,’ Cohen writes. `Guilty. Those doing the accusing usually attributed my feelings to McCain being accessible. This is the journalist-as-puppy school of thought: Give us a treat, and we will leap into a politician’s lap.’
“According to Cohen, McCain has `soiled’ his integrity by capitulating to the right and for standing by his false political advertisements.
`His opportunistic and irresponsible choice of Sarah Palin as his political heir — the person in whose hands he would leave the country — is a form of personal treason, a betrayal of all he once stood for,’ Cohen writes. `Palin, no matter what her other attributes, is shockingly unprepared to become president. McCain knows that. He means to win, which is all right; he means to win at all costs, which is not.’”

It is only appropriate that she meet some of the damned furriners before she has to attend their funerals. Then she will know whom she is shooting.

Well, its cheaper than flying around the world to meet with them I guess

Wouldn’t it be simpler if all the foreign leaders just came to Russia, which she can see from her house?

“Well, its cheaper than flying around the world to meet with them I guess”
she’ll have to fly on a commercial jet because she’ll have sold air force one on ebay, right? lol
in her mind, does her visiting the u.n. in n.y. count as some sort of travel to foreign countries? palin jumping through hoops…
