Thank you. Glad to know Sarah is visiting the U.N. They can use a little honest-to-God frank talk from a U.S. conservative. Unfortunately, Bolton wasn't really there long enough.

>>Then after she goes to the UN for an hour to “meet foreign leaders” and establish her security/foreign policy credentials, McCain will take her to a hospital, so she can establish her “health care” credentials; then they will go out in the street and meet a whole bunch of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians to check off the “diversity” credentials; then they can ride the subway for one stop to clarify her “infrastructure” credentials; and then, finally, she can use her ATM card at a bank branch down on Wall Street so she can demonstrate her expertise on the financial markets. God, I swear you can’t make this up."<< Ed - That's funny. Thanks for posting it. I'm curious about the idea that she's going to meet "foreign leaders" at the UN, anyway. Most of the time, countries are represented at the UN by their ambassadors. The leaders usually aren't there. But perhaps there's some kind of special event going on that day, and some of them will be. - Allen
