Why they are cancelling Palin events...

[jberryhill]

The UN General Assembly convenes this week, so they are going to have Caribou Barbie do photo-ops with every foreign leader they can put in front of a camera.

The week after that, you'll be hearing how Sarah Palin has "met" more foreign leaders than Obama.

Of course, your average pole dancer at Scorers will probably meet more of the UN General Assembly as well, but that's how they are going to sell it.

1. Because she's stupid and vulnerable.

Aside from that, she just malicious and narrow minded.

[jillan]

2. Yeah - but she'll be going up against Joe Biden

who has many of those leaders phone numbers and email addresses.

shit - the same day Bhutto was killed, Biden received an email from her.

Sorry Sarah, you're way out of your league.

3. intensive debate prep for one i would guess.

4. And they'll say she didn't even have to go overseas to meet them.

5. Well, she's the VP candidate, and up against our VP candidate, she's screwn

in the "knowing foreign leaders" category.

[gmoney]

8. Maybe she'll "know" them in the Biblical sense?

I doubt Joe has done THAT!

10. with her lipsticked mouth you mean??

6. Having watched her several times this week Id say its boredom, shes starting to lose interest

We have all seen this pattern many times in children and a new toy, the difference is she has a history of this in her former administrations.

In both the Mayors office and the Governorship she began "phoning in" her work shortly after she began, thats even the crux of the 17 000 that she got for staying at home as governor.

There is a pattern she cant keep up the energy and then people see her now and go thats it thats our hope, and the spiral since the convention shows it in stark numbers.

They have to keep her away from people actually seeing her because shes less than the myth.

7. Wow.

They must think people are really, really stupid.

9. No the reason that she is going to the UN is that she is told that if she goes there

she can meet people who share dual citizenship and she would have the chance to meet a Brazillian voter and she thought that would be nifty to meet a really really lot of voters and win the election.

She can't figure out why the other candidates haven't thought of it.
