She didn't visit Ireland, which is what the McCain-Palin campaign claimed to Politico's Ben Smith on Saturday. She had a short refueling stopover, which means at best her extensive Irish diplomacy amounted to buying a sweater and a beer mug in the Shannon airport. [...]To be fair, Politico also said she has visited Canada. That's better. I'd now feel so much better knowing she has all that experience, should she ever be in charge of our nuclear arsenal.
Sarah Palin, in an effort to bolster her non-existent national security expertise, claimed she had visited 3 countries: Germany; Kuwait; and Ireland. Now we find out that one of those three, 33% of her experience, was pretty much a lie.

Wow. Really? A stopover? Wow.
This is just pitiful.
It's the Energizer Bunny of scandalous, or at least unflattering, stories...
Bunny. An apt description.
Ew, the woman was in my country. Get the dirty smell off of me...
I was waiting for that comment, KPed.
Maybe she's also trying to count the nations that once held claim to the several States of our Union, which would give her Russia, Britain, France, Spain and formerly substantial Native American nations.
And Mexico, too.
I guess we should also count the countries of the air space she flew over.
Joe's on a roll today. : )
Does this mean that I really haven't been to Texas after all? :(
Did you buy anything? If you bought something, then you are qualified to be V.P.
By all this reckoning, I wonder if I could schmooze myself into becoming ambassador to Costa Rica? I actually spent a few days there and found quite a few facts. That would make me a Latin American expert in a McCain-Palin administration.
I'm new to this blog after reading Cliff's book. I just wanted to say this is the best blog and these postings are hilarious!
I've probably checked this site 40 times at work today. Good work.
Scott, that just made my day!
