Sarah Palin Goes to the Upper East Side

Yesterday, Sarah Palin, the most experienced politician in American History, became even more experienced by actually meeting with foreign leaders near the United Nations in New York City. She met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, as well as former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Sarah Palin did not, however, meet with the press.



The McCain camp has been insistent, and at this point at least consistent, in keeping Sarah Palin away from the press. And yesterday was no different. Sure she met with major international players, but the press was allowed little to no access. It's amazing that there are even photographs available. And it begs the question, why if she is the most experienced politician of all time, would it matter if some hack from the Post were to grab a few quotes for the morning edition?



The McCain camp refused to answer this question, saying that John McCain and Sarah Palin were late to a polo match. Reports also indicate that later in the evening the two of them would be having dinner with clients where they'd eat escargot. Slippery little suckers.
