Ok... we get it. There do exist reasons (no matter how crazy) as to why McCain chose Sarah Palin as his VP. However, you'd have to be def, dumb, blind, and unable to smell to think that one of those reasons was her foreign policy "experience." John McCain is simply lying through his teeth and nobody is buying it. Funny or sad? NPR interview from earlier:
NPR: Given what you've said Senator, is there an occasion where you could imagine turning to Governor Palin for advice in a foreign policy crisis.
MCCAIN: I've turned to her advice many times in the past, I can't imagine turning to Senator Obama or Senator Biden cuz they've been wrong, they were wrong about Iraq, wrong about Russia...
NPR: But would you turn to Governor Palin?
MCCAIN: I certainly wouldn't turn to them, and I've already turned to Governor Palin particularly on energy issues and I've appreciated her background and knowledge on that and many other issues.
NPR: Does her energy qualification extend to the international energy market?
MCCAIN: Of course. Of course. That's what it's all about. It extends to a broad variety of issues from her worldview to threats that we face, to radical Islamic extremism, to specific areas of the world. I'm very proud of her, and proud of the knowledge and background that she has.
