Palin lied about meeting the British Ambassador

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Sarah Palin has committed yet another political blunder after claiming she had held talks with a British ambassador - talks that never actually took place.

In an answer to questions about her foreign policy experience ahead of tonight's make-or-break vice presidential TV debate, her aides listed numerous contacts with foreign officials - including Britain's ambassador to Washington, Sir Nigel Sheinwald.

However the meeting never occurred. Officials at the embassy swiftly contacted the McCain-Palin campaign to inform them of the discrepancy.

It was an Aussie backpacker she picked up in a bar.

She thought he was British, honest mistake.

Distortions....You're really sweating this out, aren't you AJ? BTW, I just read that her strategy tonight is to agressively go after Biden....

I'll bet she whips his #######!

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

I'll bet she whips his #######!

She'll be the nation's laughing stock.

Showing that you haven't been paying any attention again.

Her [Palin's] basic ratings are weaker still.

Just 35 percent say Palin has the experience it takes to serve effectively as president, down a dozen points since early September; 60 percent think not, up 15. And just 46 percent think Palin "understands complex issues," while 49 percent think she doesn't -- a poor assessment on this most basic qualification.

Biden's ratings starkly contrast Palin's: Seventy-five percent say he understands complex issues, 70 percent say he has suitable experience to take over as president if necessary and just 13 percent say his selection makes them less apt to support Barack Obama.

In the most fundamental measure of a public figure's popularity, 51 percent now express an overall favorable opinion of Palin, down from 58 percent Sept. 7, just after the GOP convention.

While she's lost 7 points on this score [popularity], Biden's moved the other way, gaining 6 points -- 57 percent see him favorably, up from 51 percent.

Put a damn fork in her already - she's done!

I get that a lot too, which surprises me "I love your accent, where are you from, Australia?"

I had one woman say to me once:

"What's a nice Irish girl like you doing here?"

"I'm not Irish."

"New Zealand?'

"No."

"Australia?"

"No."

"Scottish?"

"No."

"South African?"

"No!"

'German?"

"No." (was getting pretty exasperated by this point)

"What are you then?"

Sheesh!
