Sarah Palin To Break Glass Ceiling on Behalf of People With No Foreign Policy Experience

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

For far too long, the office of vice president has been off-limits to members of the following demographic groups…

* Women

* People with no foreign policy experience

* People who don’t realize that the vice presidents before them did in fact have foreign policy experience

Well watch out, glass ceiling: Sarah Palin is a member of all three groups! Most notably the last one…

During her interview with ABC News' Charlie Gibson Thursday, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin attempted to deflect a question about the fact that she has never met a foreign head of state by saying that "man" other vice presidential nominees in history hadn't met a head of state either…

"Have you ever met a foreign head of state?" Gibson asked Palin Thursday.

"I have not," Palin said, "and I think if you go back in history and if you ask that question of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I just gave you."

However Palin, who obtained her first passport two years ago, would in fact be the first vice president in 32 years who hadn’t met a foreign head of state, if she were elected.

That's right, Governor. Even Dan Quayle had done it, (although he needed a Latin translator of course.)

But so what if Palin's a little behind the curve on this one? In every other way, she could fit right in with that old boys club of Al Gore, Lyndon Johnson and Teddy Roosevelt.

I mean, all those past VPs issued a war threat to Russia in their first national interview, too, right??

  1. America is a great place, were any moose hunting mom can be selected to by some cranky, old, flash-back haunted geezer to became the president of the United States 'cause she has good looking legs. It is a Miss Smith goes to Washington come to life, down to the splatted wolf brains. Brings a tear to one's eye.

    She's just Hocky Mom Dylan, lighten up. You hate America or something.

  2. I think Sarah Palin might be a Russian spy! Traveling over to Alaska from her homeland by either top-secret tunnel or a top-secret ice bridge just like the first inhabitants of the Americas.

  3. Has anyone ever thought how stupid it would actually BE to break a glass ceiling? From beneath? Good luck with that.

  4. Apparently Palin thinks that "foreign relations" means "waving to your neighbor." I wish Gibson had asked her how she would have handled the Israel/Palestine conflict. Comedy gold, right there.

  5. I'm a just a 30 year old Midwestern "F$#*n' Redneck" and even I've met PM John Major and Shimon Peres. I'm more qualified than Sarah Palin.

  7. I worked at Pier 1 imports one summer… I must be brimming with foreign policy experience. Also, when Duane, the manager at Pier 1 went to lunch… I was in charge… can you say Executive Experience!!?

  8. But she can see Russia from an island in Alaska guys. I've been telling people that I know a lot about the foreign policy because I can see Mexico from my front door in San Diego and no one bought it, thank Sarah for making them nay-sayers eat it for me!

    Palin, McCain’s Bridge to Distraction

    The main difference between Senator Clinton and Palin, is that Hillary was VOTED IN as a viable candidate for the Presidency.

    Palin was BROUGHT in as a Distraction for McCain's failed policies.

  10. Ohhh..and I am sure Obama has a lot more foreign policy experience. What the hell has he done besides work alongside Bill Ayers, smoke pot, and exercise dirty politics as a senator in Chicago.
    Yes, the change is here America. A supporter of the racist Reverend Wright is now your President.
