I guess when you are always full of shit, it is easy to spew more and more of it especially as a politician of the GOP sort. John McCain delivered a real doozy this morning when talking to NPR, saying that he has consulted with Sarah Palin many times in the past about foreign policy issues. Yeah, he's talking about Sarah "I live near Russia" Palin. Seriously, you can't make this up.
From ThinkProgress:
In an interview this morning with NPR, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that he has often turned to Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) for foreign policy advice:NPR: Given what you’ve said Senator, is there an occasion where you could imagine turning to Governor Palin for advice in a foreign policy crisis.
MCCAIN: I’ve turned to her advice many times in the past, I can’t imagine turning to Senator Obama or Senator Biden because they’ve been wrong. They were wrong about Iraq, wrong about Russia –
NPR: But would you turn to Governor Palin?
MCCAIN: I certainly wouldn’t turn to them, and I’ve already turned to Governor Palin particularly on energy issues and I’ve appreciated her background and knowledge on that and many other issues.
What the hell is McCain talking about here? There really isn't much there in Sarah's bucket of experience, especially when it comes to foreign policy. The woman practically admitted earlier to Couric that she had no idea what Hamas is when she unwittingly offered her support for them.
As for turning to her many times in the past, would McCain be referring to August or September, because he only met her once or twice before selecting her to be his VP choice.
