Source: UNITED NATIONS (Reuters)

U.S. presidential candidate Sen. John McCain may take his running mate Sarah Palin to the United Nations next week, U.N. officials said on Tuesday, to give her the chance to meet a few world leaders,

Speaking on condition of anonymity, several U.N. officials told Reuters that they were preparing for a possible visit by the Republican candidates next Tuesday, the day President George W. Bush and one of his main foes, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, address the 192 U.N. member states.

2. Wow! A field trip! Hope she has an adult that can sign her permission slip.
If the news media lets this go by without criticism, they are more vacant than I thought.

6. So I guess she can say that's her international experience.
I guessing she is going to be mortified to find that their are real minority run countries around the world. Well in her mind on the flat earth....

I hope he does take her and the Obama campaign attacks while they are gone.

9. Guess this'll count as another trip abroad.
Edited on Wed Sep-17-08 01:03 AM by Walter Sobchak
"One U.N. diplomat joked that a visit to the United Nations in New York would add one more trip outside the United States to Palin's resume -- a reference to the fact that the U.N. compound is technically not on U.S. territory."

Hey, if Shannon Airport counts, why not the UN?

18. He's pimping her, and hiding behind her skirt. She's his trophy running mate, apparently.
It's a real triumph for the right-wing world: the superficial appearance of equality, embodied in a woman who cherishes the twisted way of living they always have demanded. As someone said, "SHE, HERSELF, IS A GOOD OLD BOY."

Delighted to read in BoRev.net someone calling her a "snowbilly!" Love that one.

19. who gives a rat's ass
Focus on the failure, issues, change.

Talking about hockey mom, exclusively, for next 7 weeks is a great way to lose.

Wow posted a lot of stories like this about nothing there Nambe... Yep all reported somewhere, but eating up attention spans. Fuck the BS.

26. Sounds awfully "cosmpolitan" to me, Senator . . .
Still, everybody should have the valuable foreign policy experience of seeing all those different flags all in the same place!!
