"I have not [met any heads of state]. I think if you go back in history and if you ask that question

[EffieBlack]

of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I just gave you."

Well, maybe Millard Filmore had never met any foreign head of state, since folks just weren't traveling about the way they do now.

But let's go back a reasonable distance in history and look at Vice Presidents in the last 50 years, Sarah, and see where you stack up. Assuming that anyone who served as a Senator, Member of Congress, Cabinet Member or Ambassador DID meet foreign head of state before they became president:


Richard Milhous Nixon - eyup
Lyndon Baines Johnson - eyup
Hubert Horatio Humphrey - eyup
Spiro T. Agnew - don't know about him
Gerald Rudolph Ford - eyup
Nelson Rockefeller - eyup
Walter Mondale - eyup
George Herbert Walker Bush - eyup
J. Danforth Quayle - eyup
Albert Gore, Jr. - eyup
Richard Cheney - eyup

So, Sarah - at least 10 and perhaps all of the 11 vice presidents elected in the last 50 years did indeed meet a foreign head of state prior to becoming vice president.

You, Sarah, are a joke.

(P.S., Sarah - I've met more foreign heads of state than you have . . .)

1. GHWB probably ordered the deaths of a few heads of state...

bet she could catch up to his record if she really tries hard.

First stop: Russia.

2. Worth remembering: Palin only got her first passport last year!!!

:wow: She has lived an incredibly sheltered life, in her own little right wing fundie bubble.

3. Geez.. i'm 30, and i've had a passport since '99.

Honestly, now that I think about it - i've got more International Experience then Palin does.. I've been to Europe (London), Dublin, Mexico, Grand Cayman & Canada.

Unbelievable.

4. this is the kind of liar she is. willing to throw shit out without a clue what it will look like

or say about her. no knowledge at all, just throw a lie out there. odd kind of lying.

[Virginia Dare]

5. Slightly OT but Sarah Palin IS the new Spiro T. Agnew..

Agnew rose from County Executive to Vice President in 6 years. He was also corrupt as hell, which is eventually what brought him down.
