sorry freddie, that was a slightly altered version of the interview of palin by
ms. couric. palin was explaining her qualifications for president in terms of
foreign policy. sort of like saying 'i'm qualified to negotiate with syria, as i often
eat lebanese bologna.'
from the interview (no ross, this is not politics..it's comedy hour):
Couric: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign-policy credentials.
Palin: Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of. And there?
Couric: Have you ever been involved in any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?
Palin: We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia. As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state.
