Palin goes to the UN

Mudflats:
According to the CNN producer who was let into Karzai’s hotel suite with the photographers just before noon, Karzai was talking about his son. Palin was nodding, and asked what his name is. Karzai replied his name was Mirwais and explained that it means light of the house.

The media were escorted out after about 40 seconds.
Ah. Now we’ve learned that Palin likes talking about other people’s kids names. I wonder if Palin volunteered that her children are named after sporting events, motor vehicles, and Alaskan towns? Surely our problems in Afghanistan are over.

Stay tuned, America. We may find out whether Henry Kissinger played hockey as a kid, or if Alvaro Uribe knows how to field dress a jaguar!
I find it grimly humorous that this is all we can talk about because she won't give interviews or let the press cover something substantive. If I had reason to think hers will be the winning ticket, I'd be terrified. As things stand, I'm just moderately afraid. And looking for things to laugh about.
