Crash Course

Isn't it great? There is Sarah Palin getting a crash course in world politics from Henry "I won a Nobel Peace Prize although I should have been pursued as a war criminal" Kissinger and getting to meet Karzai, officially the President of Afghanistan but "de facto", at best, the President of Kabul. After the meeting Karzai was to say, "I found her a capable woman. She had the right questions on Afghanistan. She was concerned and she said how she can help?"1 Well, if she becomes Vice President she might have to help you get political asylum because that is very possibly the only way you are not going to die a premature death in the not too distant future. There was then a little tête-à-tête with Alavaro Uribe, the Columbian President and when asked, by Columbian reporters, what she thought of Columbia, she responded by saying, "beautiful, beautiful".2
Other meetings followed including one with Mikheil Saaskashvili, president of Georgia. This is fucking absurd, the lady in all probability thought that Saaskashvilli is from Atlanta and when he was talking about being attacked by the Russian bear she probably started to rabbit on about how they deal with bears in Alaska and how she didn't know that there were bears in Georgia, and there is Saaskashvili, with his IELTS 6.5 English, understanding all of this as a green light to attack South Ossetien again should McCain and Palin win the November election.
Ford, Reagan, the Bushes, and somewhere in there a Dan Quayle and a Dick Cheney and now Palin and McCain. These are all stupid, stupid people but then maybe, just maybe, you need stupid, stupid people to implement stupid, stupid policies. By the way, Palin and her press people misspelt Henry's name in their statement after the meeting.3
The picture shows Palin meeting Henry "Kissenger" or was it Henry Kissinger and is it Georgia or is it Georgia? "Into the valley of death rode the brave six hundred", and at least there some idiot only pointed to the wrong valley ..... stop the planet, I want to get off!
