Can someone tell me if its true that Sarah Palin never had a passport until last year?

To burnish the foreign policy credentials of a vice presidential candidate who never even had a passport until last year, the Republicans have been touting Alaska�s proximity to Russia. (Imagine the derisive laughter in conservative circles if the Democrats had tried such nonsense.) So Mr. Gibson asked Ms. Palin, “What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?”

She said, “They’re our next-door neighbors. And you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska. From an island in Alaska.”

Mr. Gibson tried again. “But what insight does that give you,” he asked, “into what they’re doing in Georgia?”

I gotta say, if that's true, its pretty damning.

"The qualifications for the vice presidency are the same as those for the presidency. The vice president must be a native-born American of at least 35 years of age who has resided in the United States for at least 14 years."

Not a thing there about passports.

Nobody cares, except those who have nothing better to do than attack her over the most ridiculous things.

Keep it up, with every smear job the McCain/Palin ticket gets a bigger lead.

I know hundreds of people with many stamps on their passport who still know fuck all about the places they have visited.

Taking a picture of St. Basil Cathedral doesn't give someone political insight into Russia, meeting Russian politicians and the Russian public does. Journalists do this and they write their reports for all to see. If you read enough of these reports from different viewpoints you can figure out the whole picture.

Your logic is flawed.

By this logic, a forty year old turtle from Alabama could run. Some of us have higher expectations.

Is it better to pick a life-long career politician like Joe Biden for Vice President, the old white guy Washington insider?

<snip snip snip>

How does that make him a better choice. Wouldn't you like someone who stands for change, instead?
