Palin Beauty Queen Charms the World

Charm the world? Not all of it. Not a lot of us and not a lot of the thinking people around the planet admire Sarah Palin. Everyone from the head of International Newsweek to Deepak Chopra are sounding alarms. But Sarah Palin made her appearance at the United Nations so she could claim foreign policy experience because just living next door to Russia wasn't quite enough for some people. The head of the Pakistani delegation was charmed and remarked quite loudly, "Well, I can see why the American people are in love with you." Palin got attention, for sure, but not for brains, just beauty. I can think of a lot of my women friends that could have fit the bill that day. Many of them had more foreign policy experience than living next door to a foreign country too. But they didn't run for the beauty contest that apparently Palin finally won at the United Nations.
