Sarah Palin stands ready to take on the leaders of the world - with cocktails afterwards

Source: Times Online

Sarah Palin, a self-styled maverick who has expressed disdain for the intricacies of international diplomacy, is to walk into the lion’s den of the United Nations next week and meet world leaders – lots of them – for the first time.

(snip)

The guest list is controlled tightly so that Mrs Palin will not be embarrassed by any of the antiAmerican presidents attending the UN.

She could join the US delegation for the UN session on Tuesday, however, enabling her to enter the UN building and sit in the General Assembly hall to watch Mr Bush give his farewell speech to the organisation. That would put her in close proximity to other leaders who are speaking on the same day – including Mr Ahmadinejad and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua.

She attempted to dismiss the record of her vice-presidential rival, Joe Biden, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Americans, she said, were not interested in “somebody’s big, fat résumé that shows decades in that Washington establishment where, ya, they’ve had opportunities to meet heads of state”.

Diplomats greeted the prospect of a Palin appearance with some merriment. Top UN officials make little secret of their preference for Barack Obama to win the White House in November because of his pro-UN views. Delegates noted that by crossing First Avenue into the UN Mrs Palin would be making a rare foray into international territory – adding one more trip outside America to her CV.

Tsk. Tsk.

to the porcelain God. :puke:

Palin is absolutely nuts!

the word "Democrat" is a noun, not an adjective.

Palin at the UN should be something like a moose in a china shop. I predict a gaffe.

like 'tomato soup', 'rose garden', or



Here's a quiz: http://www.english-zone.com/grammar/adjective3.html

It's true, however, that the name of the US political party is always the 'Democratic party' - because it's a formal name, not just a description that the writer has chosen.

"Delegates noted that by crossing First Avenue into the UN Mrs Palin would be making a rare foray into international territory – adding one more trip outside America to her CV."

lol

I think Palin's got Mad Moose Disease. She's just not thinking clearly. If we were allowed to say B*tch on DU, I say that B*tch is Whack!

"It will be like a breath of fresh air when Gov. Palin enters the UN's seedy environs. I have no doubt that the manicured do-nothings of the "illustrious" World Body will pay close attention to her. After all, she may well be president in January 2013. I'd love to see Bolton as her Sec of State"

I think the article/writer's intent went flying straight over Doug Beaton's head . . . figures.

try Anti-bush Doctrine! What crappy reporting.

competence is another story

How the hell do they actually get away with saying stuff like this? You know, its gotten to the point that it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Alan Funt was to jump out of the bushes and yell "surprise, you're on Candid Camera!".
