Did Laura Bush diss Sarah Palin?
(Washington, DC) In an interview Wednesday with CNN, the first lady, Laura Bush, said that Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin lacked sufficient foreign policy experience, but added that it was fortunate that John McCain did have foreign policy experience himself. Laura added, “You know it’s not unlike when George was campaigning for president with Dick Cheney, but like backwards, you know? It was George who lacked any real foreign policy experience, I mean heck, he was Governor of Texas, that’s nearly as far removed from foreigners as Alaska. Well there are a lot of Mexicans, but except for the illegals, they’re not much of a problem, right? So that doesn’t count.”
The first lady continued, “I’m thrilled to have a chance to vote for Palin on the GOP ticket. I think she has a lot of good common sense, which is really important for the potential leader of the most important country in the free world. It’s kind of fresh to have a journalism major enter the White House, not like all those stodgy lawyers that have been elected before.”
“I also think think that Palin is being treated unfairly because she is a woman. But I guess that is to be expected. I mean God knows if Obama had nominated Hillary Clinton instead of Joe Biden the Republican party would have been all over her like the sand covering our brave soldiers at war in Iraq,” said the first lady. In a follow-up question about Palin’s foreign policy experience, the first lady added, “I really don’t think her lack of foreign policy experience is going to be an issue. Just take my husband George as an example. As I mentioned he didn’t have much foreign policy experience and look at how great of a job he’s done! We’re all so proud of him!”
Yeah, touting Dubya as a success story is something to highlight. Palin has no foreign policy experience, and shouldn’t being a journalism be a liability?I mean don’t government members make and enforce laws? Shouldn’t a VP pick have experience and knowledge of our laws?
The sad thing is, this is really close to what she said. She has no foreign policy experience, but “she’s a quick study.” Because running for the vice president of the United States is just like cramming for a psych exam the night before.
