Palin to meet with Kissinger, Saakashvili and Alvaro Uribe? Instant gravitas!
NYT:

"Ms. Palin is to meet on the same day with President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan. She will also meet Wednesday with President Jalal Talabani of Iraq, President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan . . .

The sessions are part of an effort to demonstrate that Ms. Palin, Mr. McCain’s running mate, is prepared to operate in the arenas of foreign policy and national security despite criticism of her level of experience. Ms. Palin, who has been the governor of Alaska for less than two years, got her first passport last year.

Ms. Palin, who is expected to echo Mr. McCain’s foreign policy positions, is being prepared for her meetings by Randy Scheunemann, Mr. McCain’s top foreign policy aide, and other advisers."

See? All you have to do is meet with these people and you're qualified to run the country.

And what better advise could she possible get than from Kissinger and Scheunemann!

Scheunemann's client Saakashvili should be especially informative. Kissinger will get her up to speed on the policy positions of the American/Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce!

Wow!

You'd think Biden would be on that list, too. Maybe, he can school her at the debate!

Think of the photo-ops though! What a freakin' crock!

5. Word is that Marilyn Monroe did more than meet JFK
But nobody back then thought that qualified her to go eyeball-to-eyeball with the Russkies.
