Sarah Palin is in New York having her picture taken with world leaders today. That must be fun for her.
The McCain campaign still isn’t allowing her to answer any press questions, of course. Why would they do something like that? The press is liberal and out to get her. It is not — repeat not — because the campaign is afraid she’ll come off sounding like an ignoramus, causing thousands or perhaps millions of voters to abandon McCain. That’s definitely not the reason.
Here we see Governor Palin fully comprehending what Afghan President Hamid Karzai is talking about.
“Interesting,” Karzai is probably saying. “If I stand on my tip-toes and look over Turkmenistan, I can almost see Russia from my country too.”
UPDATE:
Imagine how proud you’ll be when this is your president, simultaniously chatting with Hamid Karzai and studiously avoiding looking at the cameras, lest she invite someone to ask her a question.
Since the reporters were kicked out, we can only speculate as to what followed the actual conversation . . .
Mr. Karzai spoke of the birth of his first child last year.
“What is his name?” Ms. Palin was heard to ask, as she met with Mr. Karzai in the suite of a midtown hotel, according to a pool report.
“Mirwais,” Mr. Karzai replied. “Mirwais, which means, ‘The Light of the House.’”
“Oh nice,” Palin responded. “My son’s name is Trig, which in the United States means, ‘A Whale’s Vagina.’”
“And Willow’s name came from my favorite TV Show – Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”
