President of Paraguay Turns Down Meeting with Sarah Palin

http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/2008/09/president_of_pa/


I'm not kidding.

Paraguay President Fernando Lugo, while attending both the United Nations General Assembly meetings and the Clinton Global Initiative, shared with friends over dinner some of the other meetings he had been having in New York.

He met this head of state. . .and that head of state. . .and so on. . .

. . .but then the room went silent and then broke into subdued laughter when he confided that he was approached about meeting with GOP Vice Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

President Lugo turned the meeting down.

With all due respect to Paraguay and its great citizens, something is really wrong when the Paraguayan President won't even hang with Palin.

But note to world leaders, PLEASE start meeting with her.

Otherwise, she'll never get any credible international experience.

3. I thought Palin had all the international experience she needs.
Why, she can see Russia from Alaska, and Canada borders her state...what else do you need to be VP? :shrug:
