I was talking about her statmenet that saying you live next to Russia and other countires is a stupid reason for saying your expierenced in foreign policy when your the head executive of the state. Though I was wrong in that it was Iceland not Finland. Palin spokesman Bill McAllister said she met with Iceland's president, Olafur Ragnar Grimsson last fall, and they discussed energy issues. She also has met with various trade delegations during her two years in office. |
There are two different things here... One thing is her claim that being next to Russia gives her foreign policy experience. By itself, that claim is just plain stupid. The other thing is that she mentioned "trade missions back and forth", but apparently she wasn't in those (or at least she didn't want to say so). The only real proven relationship with Russia seems to be that conversation with a Russian politician.
If she wanted to make sense, she'd mention these conversations instead of saying "we're near Russia", "Putin rears his head in Alaska" and such nonsense which doesn't really imply she has experience. She could make a better case for her own credentials, instead of sounding so naive and aggressive.
