McCain aide: Palin has 'metaphorical' foreign policy experience

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/22/palin-russia-metaphorical/


-snip-

A senior campaign aide who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity admitted that Palin’s knowledge of Russia may be limited to the way someone from Miami might obtain a general feel for Latin America.

“It is very much being able to look off the tip of Alaska,” the aide said. “Metaphorically, I’m talking about.”

8. Here's a metaphor or two for her foreign policy "experience"
She can't find her foreign policy ass with both hands.

If her foreign policy knowledge was a powerful explosive, she would never have to worry about being stopped at airport security.

Sarah's foreign policy bullhorn ain't got no batteries.

If her foreign policy experience was a vibrator, she'd be hornier than the moose she killed.
