I heard this was Ms Palin's 'introduction' to the world. I also heard
that at her insistence, everybody had to wear name tags.

I can just see Bush the Bush introduction: "This is Vlad Putin. He has nukewlar weapons. Just look into his eyes and you can see his soul."

1. He's right

"We must not allow the burden of the boundless greed of a few to be shouldered by all,” We need every rep in DC to understand this.

2. I can not believe she made them wear nametags!

She should show her respect by learning the names and putting them to photos! This is I think very presumptuous of her to think that she is important enough to have the leaders of the world wear nametags for her.

8. She should have asked the Bushie print shop to put them all on a deck of cards for her.

3. “We must not allow the burden of the boundless greed of a few to be shouldered by all,”

exactly

4. One criticism. It should read: "....and the Bush administration's record of

financial UNDERsight came under attack....." It seems the world leaders were decidedly underwhelmed by it.

7. Can you back the claim that Palin made world leaders wear name tags up with evidence?

9. "I heard that at her insistence ...name tags"

I heard it Monday or Tues night on Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show, and I have the videos
of those shows. Best I can do for you.

Call me cynical, but believe I have company in following political/satire/comedy. I also heard {something I cannot document at least w/out research} that Jon Stewart's show is considered by many, the reliable source for political news.

Thank you for your request.
