Go Ahead, Ask Sarah Palin a Question in Urdu

Good news, or should I say, buenas noches: That Mall of America press release banning non-English-speaking reporters from an upcoming Sarah Palin event? It was all a mistake (that anyone found out about this press release)…

Officials at the Minnesota mega-mall this week told reporters planning to cover the Minneapolis-area stop on Palin's Going Rogue book tour they must address the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate who resigned as governor last summer by her old title – a common honor, actually, which normally is accorded to former governors.

But the mall also was banning foreign reporters, permitting "only English speaking press." That's not a common requirement.

Mall officials, calling the proposed guidelines a mistake, apologized to Palin today for "an internal miscommunication" that was "inadvertently distributed."

Ay caramba, "internal miscommunication"? As in, one group of people saying a thing the other group of people cannot understand?

This can only mean one thing: Foreign-talkers have infiltrated the Mall of America!

^{* Note to Urdu-speaking journalists: You're welcome to ask Sarah Palin questions in your native language, or with semaphore flags or whatever, but it doesn't really matter because she's not going to answer them anyway.}
