Here’s what happened when, for the first time, she allowed softball questions from a sympathetic and screened audience in Grand Rapids.

“UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Governor Palin, there has been quite a bit of
discussion about your perceived lack of foreign policy experience. And I want to give you your chance. If you could please respond to that criticism and give us specific skills that you think you have to bring to the White House to rebut that or mitigate that concern.”

Okay…here comes her “specific skills”.

PALIN: “Well, I think because I’m a Washington outsider that opponents are
going to be looking for a whole lot of things that they can criticize and
they can kind of try to beat the candidates here, who chose me as his partner, to kind of tear down the ticket. But as for foreign policy, you know, I think that I am prepared and I know that on January 20th, if we are so blessed as to be sworn into office as your president and vice president, certainly we’ll be ready. I’ll be ready. I have that confidence. I have that readiness.”

Not even…we can see Russia from Alaska. Or I’ve been to Kuwait. Just the unsubstantiated bald statement that she’s ready. And the worst thing is she is “confident” she’s prepared!
