http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worl...ate-looms.html Sarah Palin blunders over talks with British ambassador that never took place | Mail Online[/url]

Quote:
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.
A British Embassy spokesman said the error arose after Sir Nigel's name was listed among those who had attended a US Governor's meeting in July.

Obviously trying desperately to keep from falling on her face from the weight of Biden's superiority and brilliance, Palin stepped in it. What a lark.

Palin has her feet firmly planted in the air.

Canadian ambassador, British ambassador, same difference -- she talked to someone with an accent. She can see Russia from her house, for crying out loud!

Somebody needs to do some research. Sarah Palin said no such thing. Just another comment from the "media" that other "media" never check the veracity of before printing.

Who cares? It's true that not everything written about Sarah Palin during the campaign was true. However, you've got to admit that the lies about the candidates on the other ticket were a lot juicier. Anyway, this thread is over a year old, so why bring up someone who is irrelevant? Palin makes a lot of gaffes, but I truly believe she'll make a great talk show host. She's very charming and knows how to please an audience.

By the way, the news source that checks its facts..is that the one that runs fake footage?

This is over a year old, who cares about what happened during the campaign, we can't change it plus we all need to pay attention to where these stories originate...
