2. I've met Clinton, Gates, and Warren (Buffett?)
Goldwater and Connally, too (and a host of others, LBJ).

Sat at a table in some fund-raiser between Gates and Buffett.

You can smell Gates fron a couple of feet away.

3. Lemme see, President Carter (I was not a citizen then)
an ambassador of Israel when I was a kid...

crossed swords with the Consul General of Israel

Met the Consular Affairs officer for the Polish consulate, and the US consulate

Oh and met the President of Mexico a couple times...

I have also met some other VIPs, like Hollywood folks... and a couple sports figures

Oh and in a course I took in college I listened to the French Consul, the Colombian Consul, the Mexican Consul, and the Honduran Consul

Does that make me more qualified?

6. I met Bono...
if Palin's using him on her tour de force of world leaders, I should be able to count him too!

(and by met I mean had a very brief conversation with at a volunteers summit in NYC about 8 years ago)

7. I've been to more countries than Mis- Palin

13. Hey, a Genuine Maharaja INSISTED I join him and the rest of the village
hierarchy for a feast. No whining do-me-please pleas from well connected operatives needed. Ran into Arthur C. Clarke in Kandy and was invited into his summer home. Probably higher on the World Leader Scale than Ford.

As for Kissinger, that monster certainly is not a world leader any more than Manson or Bundy or Vlad the Impaler or Hitler. Hope you boiled whatever bit of anatomy came into contact with that evil demon that passes itself off as human.

23. Met way more US & international leaders, traveled more here & internationally,
have done more volunteer work to better my community, have a better education, have way better job performance reviews and I actually knew, without my tutors telling me, that Freddie/Fannie weren't taxpayer funded until we had to bail them out thanks to her Republican ilk.
