I caught the tail end of something on CNN about her having to get her passport before she went to see the troops.

She has foreign policy experience though 'cause Alaska is close to Russia!

1. If true, that might be the most laughable thing about this pick.

Unfortunately it's also very sad.

4. It is true - From the NY Times:
Ms. Palin appears to have traveled very little outside the United States. In July 2007, she had to get a passport before she visited members of the Alaska National Guard stationed in Kuwait, according to her deputy communications director, Sharon Leighow. She also visited wounded troops in Germany during that trip.

3. I think she hasn't gone yet
She had to get her passport last year. I thought they said she's scheduled to make her trip to Kuwait this fall.

Never been out of the country. No record, experience, or education on foreign policy. One frail heartbeat from Commander in Chief!!!!!
