Ain't "No Foreign Policies" In Alaska

I find this incredibly amusing: The New York Times reports that Gov. Sarah Palin has not traveled much outside the United States. Apparently the governor did not receive her passport until 2007 when she needed to travel to Kuwait to visit the Alaska National Guard troops deployed there.

One can conclude (and surely some will) that Gov. Palin has no foreign policy experience at all.

But I must make ask a question or two (forgive the sarcasm): Am I wrong for believing that some Democrats in the lower-48 believe Alaska IS a foreign country? And doesn't the fact that Gov. Palin hails from Alaska disqualify her from serving as vice president since Alaska is not only not American (at least to some Democrats), it doesn't even have any stinkin' "foreign policies"?

For a laugh (or a cry), check out the video blog below from a "Big Time" Barack Obama supporter who is utterly committed to "getting out" the youth vote. Despite the rather indecorous language (the F- and MF-bombs, so be mindful), the video contains some delicious "ditties," so to speak, especially near the end. Foreign policies, indeed.

According to a recent National Geographic Society survey, 70 percent of 18- to 24-year-old Americans can't find New Jersey on a map. In other words, the whole of the United States is one big foreign country. Thus, Gov. Palin has plenty of foreign policy experience.
