President of Paraguay Turns Down Meeting with Sarah Palin
President of Paraguay Turns Down Meeting with Sarah Palin
September 26, 2008


I'm not kidding.

Paraguay President Fernando Lugo, while attending both the United Nations General Assembly meetings and the Clinton Global Initiative, shared with friends over dinner some of the other meetings he had been having in New York.

He met this head of state. . .and that head of state. . .and so on. . .

. . .but then the room went silent and then broke into subdued laughter when he confided that he was approached about meeting with GOP Vice Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

President Lugo turned the meeting down.

With all due respect to Paraguay and its great citizens, something is really wrong when the Paraguayan President won't even hang with Palin.

But note to world leaders, PLEASE start meeting with her.

Otherwise, she'll never get any credible international experience.

3. It'd be even better if he reached out to Biden and scheduled a meeting.

4. This is hilarious! Obama got the royal treatment throughout europe and the middle-east. Biden is on
a first name basis with most of the worlds leaders, and poor Mooseburger can't get time from Paraguay? Bahahahahahaha!

7. Unlike most of the American right...
The leaders of the Bolivarian Revolution have standards to uphold.

8. "She wants a meeting? In what respect, Charlie? Thanks but no thanks."
It isn't just that the president of Paraguay didn't want to meet with her: The kicker is that the very idea was considered laughable.

9. Republican Party Paradigm
The bottom half of the party is an international joke. The top half is one hoe-down away from its death-bed.
