Sarah has no shame. I only wish she would stop that "folksy" slang accent/language she uses and show us how a person in the know is really supposed to speak. It feels like she's always talking to her "peeps." I am not your peep. I would like you to sound just a bit more educated than I am if you plan to run the country...oh, that's right, I do have a master's degree, so I am more educated than she is!

I do not care how many heads of state the girl meets. She still scares the heck out of me. McCain demonstrated his inability to react in a crisis last week as well.

It should be interesting to see these world leaders look for a polite way to say What an empty headed, blank slate she is. and what a scary prospect of having this woman in the role of president.
Palin is the subject of much mirth in papers overseas - when they are not absolutely horrified by the prospect of a veep palin, let alone as president.
I can see much of the world praying deeply that the American people do not make the same dumb mistake as they did in 04 by voting for the stupid ones over the intelligent ones.
And praying we actually do something smart for a change in electing Obama.

Palin can stare down Chavez and Ahmadinejad. Obama wants to diplome with them.

I'm certain the world leaders will be impressed that Palin's proximity to Russia qualifies her on foreign affairs.
I assume they'll ask her about what vital part of Russia she can see.
(hopefully they won't ask for her views on banning books, or any of her other lunatic fringe religious views)

Just handshakes and personal meeting is not going to be engouh to give her wealth of foreign policy experience. They need to start her with geography lessons first and follow it up with history lessons.

I had the opportunity to shake hands with a world leader once... I suppose I can run a country now....

Why is this news? Shouldn't we be looking for someone for whom meeting world leaders is not an event but part of their job profile?

Hey Melsey, your criticism of Sarah Palin's accent/language shows how small
minded people can truly be (with or without a master's degree). Palin is just revealing her true self....a real person with good values and beliefs.
Most Americans are tired of the "elite on the street" Washington bureaucrats and there double talk. Finally, someone like Palin gives us straight talk and some Americans can't deal with it. I'm proud to be one of those
"educated" Americans that can understand straight talk. Sorry you can't.

They made a movie of McCain/Palin already its "Dumb & Dumber"

All you Palin-bashers, remember, Obama's claim to fame is giving a speech to Germans, and playing basketball with some troops. He's running for President, right?

diva, I'm sorry your to stupid to recognize a pig in a poke when you see one. Your post makes it quite plain just how easy it will be for McCain to bush-wack you idiots.

Sarah Palin Meets with Afghan President Karzai (Transcript)

"Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin will meet next week with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in New York, on the sidelines of the opening of the U.N. General Assembly, according to Afghan officials in Washington."--Washington Post

TRANSCRIPT:

Palin: Oh, Mr. President, it is such a pleasure to meet you, you're the first head of state that I have had the opportunity to meet--which is more than many Vice Presidents--and I'm so glad that my first one is an Afghani.

You know, in Trig's class there was a little Afghani? He was the child of one of the oil executives, and he was so cute, with his little turban runnin' around, everyone just loved him, and felt for him...

Karzai: Yes.

Palin: And everyone knew that we just had to defend him and keep him free and that's why I think that with a Palin/McCain...

Palin Aide: (looking up from clipboard) McCain/Palin.

Palin: ...McCain/Palin ticket, we can make sure of that, if we have to attack Russia, even, I mean, to keep people free at home, just like we want to keep our people free. We have so much in common! I know you have the problem with the poppies, and I understand so well, Mr. Karzai, because we have the same problem with the crystal meth in Wasilla? And I said "Look, we've got to shake this up!" and then that's just what I said, I said 'Look, let's just see what we have in common with these guys!" And that's just what you could do with the Taliban, Mr. Karzai. They've already so moral, and they want people to live by the straight and narrow, and they've got the newspapers sayin' and the schools doin' lots of the right things. They just need to get some of the right ideas, and pray to the right Lord. And, if they don't understand, we still have the weapons left over from Iraq, and then we can't blink, we can't blink, can we, Mr. Karzai?

Karzai: (Looks at Palin silently without moving his head. Pauses.). Blink?

Palin: Right. The thing is, we just have to hit the ground runnin', Mr. Karzai. That's what I do. A few weeks ago I didn't even know what a Vice President doesclock so you know just how much time you have left until you finish it. I tell you, Mr. Karzai, it's such a motivating influence on my staff, the good ones, anyway, they know what they're supposed to finish and when, they hear me sayin' "Look at the clock, people, look at the clock, and know what you have left to finish..."

Karzai: Yes.

Palin: And so I said to my husband, Todd--I call him the "First Dude"--Do you have that word 'Dude' here in Afghanistan?--maybe it's like "Khan" or "Emir" or somethin'?--I said to him, 'Todd, we have to take a look at what's happenin' in Afghanistan--before McCain called or any other thing happened--' cause I saw that Russia was right across from us, and then right next to that you have all the 'Stans--(counts cross fingers) Kyrgyzstan, oh, what's the others?--well, you are aware of them, of course, Mr. Karzai (laughs)...

Karzai: (Nods)

Palin: And if we don't let other people know of what I'm aware of then the world won't change, Mr. Karzai. I know we have the same goals even if we don't have the same God yet...(aide touches Palin on shoulder, whispers). 'Even', not 'yet', I meant 'same God even, Mr. Karzai, and my point is, we can't let others stop our choice, which is freedom for those who deserve it, and that's why I know a Palin/McCain...

Palin Aide: (reaching over to touch shoulder)

Palin: Stop! (brushing aide's hand off)...McCain/Palin ticket will do just what you want, Mr. Karzai...

Second Palin Aide Approaches: It's time for your next appointment, Gov. Palin.

Palin: It was so good meeting you, President Karzai, and all of your other people, it was so good meeting you too! Shalom! (waves, exits).

Karzai: (to his aide, in Pashto): She makes the last one look like the Grand Mufti.

West coastdipsh*t yes we will forget he has a degree in Political Science major (International Relations), a Doctorate in Jurisprudence (Law Degree to you uneducated morons) served 11 years as a State Senator taught at a Law school so its not like he has just turned up on the corner. But then you sheep who follow lie idiots to the slaughter house arte as stupid as you post.

I would rather have my VP a little lacking in the foreign affairs dept than have my president seriously lacking in the foreign affairs dept.

diva - We have had eight years of Dumb and dangerous. It scares me to death as someone who lives in Atlanta Ga. That McCain/ Palin might loose their cool and say "Bomb the capitol of Goergia." cause between these two Atlanta may just be carpet bombed instead of the capitol of Georgia whose name I do not know. But then again I am not running for President or Vice President.

McCain/Palin=A knee jerk reactionary & His idiot Bimbo who knows zilch.

Economic crisis threatens all of us and John McCain offered his own recovery plan (he had it ready because he knew and talked about this forthcoming crisis way back in 2006 but the Democrats said no). Obama voted “present” again. Said he would have to think about this…or in other words get some direction. Just like the Senate he voted “present” ---this is not leadership!
Back on May 25, 2006 John McCain spoke “I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole. I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation………Barack Obama and other Democrats OPPOSED and did nothing.

Wong...Palin is a joke. She cannot even handle her own internal investigation without McCain sending in "troops" to stop the process. PLEASE....THIS WOMEN IS A DISGRACE!!!

Will she have a map or globe with her so she can have a point of reference?
