From NBC/NJ's Matthew E. Berger
MINNEAPOLIS -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin today met with the board of directors of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, NBC/NJ has confirmed.

The meeting took place inside Palin's hotel, sources said.

A campaign official would not say who asked for the meeting, but said it was geared towards putting the American Jewish community at ease over her understanding of US-Middle East relations.

"That's obviously going to be an issue," the aide said. "It's not like being the senator from New York, obviously. But these aren't issues that are off her radar."

Palin, joined by Sen. Joe Lieberman, expressed her "heartfelt support for Israel" and spoke of the threats it faces from Iran and others, the campaign official said.

"We had a good productive discussion on the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and we were pleased that Gov. Palin expressed her deep, personal, and lifelong commitment to the safety and well-being of Israel," AIPAC spokesman Josh Block said. "Like Sen. McCain, the vice presidential nominee understands and believes in the special friendship between the two democracies and would work to expand and deepen the strategic partnership in a McCain/Palin Administration."

4. So it has taken her four days to learn the talking points for AIPAC, and

to be able to find these countries on a map. Great.

5. I suppose she thought AIPAC stood for "Alaska Independence Party Action Committee".

Then she attended and thought, why are all these Jewish people here?

6. Sarah: (whisper) What am I supposed to say to the Jews, Joe? I never met any.

Joe: Just say you have "heartfelt support for Israel"... it works every time.

7. This would be a perfect time for her to go into airhead mode

and blurt out something really stupid like "Jews are goin' to Hell because they like rejected Jesus as the Messiah, or some junk like that, fer sure". :rofl:

8. OMG... she wants to secede and cut Alaska loose to merge with Israel!

She's going to tie Alaska to a bunch of polar bears and order them to swim all the way to North Africa.

13. So, they got her holed up in a hotel, eh?

Verry interesting. I mean, I know. Big night tomorrow. Just the same, we've had enough of leaders who can't face the people without rehearsing the choreography first. If Miss Thing can't wing it, what good is she?
