"...at the feet of the master"

We learned from McCain's campaign manager Charles Black that apparently Sarah Palin will:

" learn national security at the foot of the master for the next four years, and most doctors think that he'll be around at least that long"


I guess that means that Sarah Palin will learn:

to confuse the sunnis and shiites

that Iraq borders Pakistan

to mispronounce the name of the President of Georgia

that Czechoslovakia still exists

that Vladimir Putin is the President of Germany

that Somalia is the same as Sudan

to "misunderestimate" the number of US troops in Iraq

to not know the timing of the surge relative to the Anbar awakening

that McCain's "cap and trade" policy doesn't have a cap (even though it does)

that iraq (not afghanistan) was the first major war after 9/11

that iran supports al qaeda

to wish the death of foreign leaders (Castro)

to insult an important ally in Afghanistan by (France) by comparing her to an aging actress

to sing song songs about bombing other countries

to joke about killing people in other countries through cigarette exports
