Sarah Palin Has So Much Foreign Policy Experience, We Can't Even Explain It All

Here we have a scene that has played out, in endless variations, on several news outlets today. It is a hoarse McCain campaign spokesman, in this case Tucker Bounds (whose name, now that I type it, seems very Palin-family-esque), frantically explaining how the governor of Alaska has oodles of foreign policy experience.

In case you are too lazy to click the play button, the key talking point here is: the governor of Alaska "commands" the "Alaska National Guard," which certainly sounds impressive. Let's take a look at some press releases from the Alaska Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs, which seems to provide information about this "Alaska National Guard." I am sure we'll find plenty of important foreign policy business.

Like this:

6/23/08: Alaska Air National Guard Recognizes Cities
7/29/08: Man Falls Off Cabin, Saved By Alaska Guardsmen

Right, see, they recognized cities! They have cities in other countries. Therefore, the Alaska National Guard is prepared to go overseas and recognize foreign cities, which is a key component of foreign policy. And if people start falling off cabins in, um, Gaza, the governor of Alaska will be able to draw on her years of command experience, thereby... hmm.

Gosh, this is harder than it looks.

5. I's a easy mistake to make.

It's kind of hard to see him in that crowd of 200,000 in Germany.
