We tried not to laugh too hard. And really it isn't funny. It's rather sad. The McCain camp went out of their way to pose Sarah Palin with Bush "Puppet Presidents" to now claim she has foreign policy experience.
Columbian President Alvaro Uribe expresses confusion in New York, as he was originally promised to meet Tina Fey from SNL.
Alas, this is what is has come to. Afghan President Hamid Karzai stating "I found her quite a capable woman. She asked the right questions on Afghanistan." Those questions may have included "Is the heroin really that much cheaper over there? I'm asking for a friend." We have no confirmation or denial. We hope it was much more than that, now that she has been told what to ask by her campaign staff. It is good to hear that Henry Kissinger locked her in a room and brow beat her for not knowing what the Bush Doctrine was. That is only hearsay, but he did meet with her for an hour.
We find this whole situation sad for a few reasons. One being, we do really feel sorry for Sarah Palin, as much as we make fun of her. She is the Dan Quayle of her generation. She was mayor of some meth labs and caribou, and now all of the sudden she is expected to, like, lead and stuff.
The other reason, in this situation, she does not have any foreign policy experience. Period. Sorry, just because you can see Russia from your front porch, doesn't make you a freedom fighter in the Wolverines taking on the Red Army. Red Dawn was cool, but it was a movie. Also, just because you touched a superstar, doesn't make you one. We met Max Weinberg in the 80's when he was in the E Street Band and even shook hands. But that didn't make us rock stars (no offense to the X Box games). We've even met John Edwards, but it doesn't make us a womanizer. Or does it? Bad example.

Sarah Palin is a capable mom. Maybe a capable Governor of a sparsely populated state that was once Russian territory. But she does not have foreign policy experience. She does not have experience to step in as President, should Grandpa McCain happen to move on to the great Oval Office in the sky after being elected. God forbid someone shoot Barack Obama when he becomes President. But we know that our country will be in capable hands if that happens, and Joey the Shark steps in.
