Colombia’s President Uribe was one of the heads of state who met with the Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin yesterday.
Palin, a small-town mayor turned Alaska governor turned national candidate, has traveled very little outside of the United States and boasts few foreign-policy credentials.
‘Tuesday’s tutorials were with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe. Palin, wearing Alaska-shaped gold earrings, also consulted for almost 90 minutes with former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger in his Park Avenue office. The candidate’s staff carefully choreographed her debut onto the international stage, starting each meeting with a brief photo opportunity and allowing no questions. Unscripted moments were kept to a minimum,’ reports Geraldine Baum.
