OH.MY.GOD. Sarah Palin is scheduled to have a sit-down solo meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai next week in New York during the opening meeting of the United Nations General Assembly. Like we’re not already having enough problems, they have to let HER meet with someone as important and integral to our foreign relations in that part of the world as Hamid Karzai??? Are they CRAZY??? According to CNN:

The meeting is part of a larger effort by the McCain campaign to bolster Palin’s foreign policy credentials in the face of criticism from Democrats questioning her preparedness for the Vice Presidency.

They’re going to let her cut her teeth on the Afghan president?! Um, OK. I knew they were stupid, but I didn’t know they were completely brainless!

Though her running mate is considered a leading voice on military issues and foreign affairs, Palin herself has only traveled abroad to Kuwait, Germany, Canada and, briefly, to an Iraqi border crossing.

According to the Washington Post, which first reported the story, the Karzai meeting was initiated by McCain campaign officials.

At a town-hall meeting in Michigan on Wednesday, Palin expressed confidence in her foreign policy acumen.

“But as for foreign policy, you know, I think that I am prepared, and I know that on January 20th, if we are so blessed as to be sworn into office as your president and vice president, certainly we’ll be ready,” she told a questioner. “I’ll be ready.”

Oh dear God. No, Sarah, we don’t know, you know? This is scary, people. Very, VERY scary!
