NEW YORK (CNN) – Sarah Palin and the foreign leaders she has met with in New York have said very little to reporters over the last two days, but the press happened to be in the room on Wednesday for one eyebrow-raising exchange, as the new president of Pakistan lavished praise on Palin's looks.
On entering a room filled with several Pakistani officials this afternoon, Palin was immediately greeted by Sherry Rehman, the country's Information Minister.
"And how does one keep looking that good when one is that busy?," Rehman asked, drawing friendly laughter from the room when she complimented Palin.
"Oh, thank you," Palin said.
Pakistan's recently-elected president, Asif Ali Zardari, entered the room seconds later. Palin rose to shake his hand, saying she was “honored” to meet him.
Zardari then called her "gorgeous" and said: "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you."
"You are so nice," Palin said, smiling. "Thank you."
A handler from Zardari's entourage then told the two politicians to keep shaking hands for the cameras.
"If he's insisting, I might hug," Zardari said. Palin smiled politely.
The Alaska governor did not answer questions from reporters at her first two appearances on Wednesday, when she joined McCain in meetings with Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili and Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko, and then traveled downtown to meet with Iraqi president Jalal Talabani.
But she did offer brief remarks to a reporter at the Zardari meeting who asked about her day.
"It's going great," Palin said. "These meetings are very informative and helpful, and a lot of good people sharing appreciation for America."

Are you kidding me? This lady is a joke!
How sexist can you get!
Answer: A hug.
Question: What do world leaders need to create peace?
u got to b kidding me
i guess he is sexiest to
lol
i want them to tell him that he is sexiest
This is so dumb..............................!
WHAT A JOKE !
Oh give me a freakin' break. "These meetings are very informative and helpful... I bet they are when you don't know anything.
All fluff, no stuff. I feel a lot better now that Gov. Palin has her foreign policy chops...NOT!

I HAD NO IDEA THAT PIMPING STRATEGIES COULD BE USED IN THE CAMPAIGN OF THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
well...that sounds sexist.
Every man in America make wish to have a one night stand with Sarah....makes her equipped to do one thing, but doesn't make her qualified to be VP or 1 heart beat away from POTUS!
Sexist comment that will be ignored.
I hope every-body ignores this crap.
That's all she is – a face. But then again, so is Anne Coulter.
disgusting!!!!
Wait, where's the outrage from the Republicans for this sexist comment? So she's attractive, we'll grant her that. But from what little I've heard from her, she's a right wing, Christian extremist with no foreign policy expertise, other than seeing Russia from her house, and no economic experience outside running one of the least populated states in the country.
So is the McCain camp and Fox News going to call Zardari and call him sexist.
I can't believe that Palin met with foreign leaders for two days and this is the ONLY news we get. Palin is full of crap and CNN is starting to fail in my book by letting the McCain/Palin Campaign get away with this "no questions" attitude.
Now is this sexism Palin? All he could say is that you are gorgeous?
Wake up America!!
Obama/Biden0'08
Campbell Brown sure will be seething mad at this remark. Its so obvious her and Borger are green with envy over this woman. Borger even darkened her hair and put the same color highlights Palin had in her Fox interview. hahahaha
My eyes have rolled so far up into my head, they may never be able to be dislodged.
wow...this is a joke...like a comedy sketch expect it's real...so i guess it's more of a horror movie...
this is crazy conversation while some Americans are without homes and jobs. PALIN YOU ARE NOT IN A BEAUTY PAGEANT.
I can't stop laughing. This appears to be the extent of her knowledge of foreign policy...turning the heads of foreign leaders. If she can't negotiate, she can distract by opening the collar a little wider or hiking up the skirt a little more...
Joe was sexist and this guy is "nice?" B.S!
Zardari then called her "gorgeous" and said: "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you."
Great to hear the rest of the world knows how shallow the US electorate is
Please!!!! Give me a break. Am I in the Twilight Zone, because it sure does feel like it?!
Yeah, she's gorgeous alright.
SeXXXY. Call him sexist people. I can't heeeeeear you. She said thank you but Joe Biden caught all kinds of hell for his comment.
Obama08
"These meetings are very informative and helpful"...well...sure...now she knows the name of Karsai's son and that she is gorgeous...well THAT is experience in foreign policy we can trust in...
Obama/biden by landslide
What an empty bra.
And this is who might lead me and my troops into combat?
I will go AWOL first.
Oh dear sweet Mary. World leaders want to get up her skirt and she's stuck saying the meetings are "informative and helpful!"
Honestly, I feel bad for Palin right now. No one deserves that, and those leaders were DEFINITELY not treating her as a potential VP.
SEXIST SEXIST I SAY!
will they accuse him of sexism now? And if not, how come?
...
...
Bwuaaaahaaahaaahahahaha! Oh God, that's hilarious... seems the rest of the world understands her appeal to the voting public...
now this is priceless. first he hits on her, then she hits back.
And that will make her an excellent leader.
This is a joke right
“From my NYC hotel room, I can see Chinatown, Little Italy, and Little Ukraine! Golly! This trip to NYC sure was a swell one. I will be an expert in foreign policy in no time, Charlie!”
Oh wow , Im now really impressed with Farah Failins ever expanding resume......Maybe if John Mccain picked Pam Anderson to run with him all the world would be our friends again. The big difference is Pam has no experience and can not see Russia from her condo in LA. But Im sure she a quick study.... Wouldnt it be a hoot to see how fast Pam could get a BA in journalism???
I wonder if the McCain campaign is going to shield her from the Pakistani PM now because he was being sexist. LOL
Palin would make a good first lady in Pakistan
This is hillarious!!!!! LMFAO!!!! They are not taking her seriously. She is nothing but a beauty queen in their eyes. Just a piece of eye candy!
So Foreign policy will be reduced to a BJ.man...
Yikes. The whole of America may be crazy, but not for her...
Gorgeous??? Who cares!!! She's incompetent!
I know alot more gorgeous women not ready to be VP.
ok so far she she has made chit chat about children and her looks. sounds like good credentials to me!
Palin probably can't pronounce their names!
That's what happens when you pick a former "beauty queen" with no foreign relations experience – the whole world sees her as McCain's TROPHY PICK and nothing more......just a pitbull with lipstick!
Obama/Biden '08/'12
So, they all want to "do" her...that doesn't make her a good VP choice, and I definitely don't want her running the country. She is all wrong for the choice of VP....especially when McCain is so old with health issues. Just Say No to McCain/Palin.
OBAMA/MCCAIN 2008
well it's good to see them tackling the real issues of the world today
Ms. Palin... meet the Sexist men of the Middle East.
Shame to Zardari whose wife was murdered just months ago. Why stop with a hug...go on you fool.
oh wow.. now we have a look inside at what is wrong with the middle east.. they think someone being gorgeous in politics is relevant..
and president of pakistan.. not all of america is crazy about palin, most americans think she is grotesquely underqualified and out of touch with mainstream america despite what the republicans say.. and those that do like her.. well.. you said it. they are CRAZY
thats just swell!
Obama/Biden 08
DANG! I know there's a DANGLING PARTICIPLE in there somewhere. And could someone teach her how to use
some PROPER NOUNS.
ugh, so I guess this would be a sexist remark. I glad even the Pakistani President realizes the only reason she is on this ticket!
This is the exact time we need a debate! The crisis makes it more important that we learn about our choice for leadership, not less.
Since the election can not be canceled, we simply can not cancel the information we need to make that choice.
Maybe I'm cynical, but my first reaction was this was a political ploy and not done out of concern. Probably because debate was shut down during the decision of the Iraq war.
We need to go forward and chose our next leader. We need this information.
Keep the debate!!! We have leaders to take care of crisis. We as voters also need to make an informed decision!!!!!
all fluff and no substance...maybe her foreign affairs expereince will be on her back or knees.
GREAT, SO NOW WE HAVE A VP CANDIDATE THAT WORLD LEADERS WANT TO BANG.
THIS IS NOT A PAGEANT, THIS IS OUR FUTURE!
GET LOST PALIN!
My fellow Americans: in case you were wondering what *real* sexism looks like, *this* is what it looks like.
Yes, President Zardari she's gorgeous and we Americans are proud of our next VP. You say you want to meet the other VP candidate? Barack, go tell your boy to get his foot out of his mouth for a minute and come meet President Zardari.
I'm glad to hear they discussed important issues. No wonder the MCacin campaign kept reporters out.
Oh gosh, I'm all a flutter!
Puh-lease. She is qualified to be a MILF. That's it!
Is it me, or is McBush always looking at her behind whenever she is speaking on stage and he is standing behind her? Just asking.
Great, now the g.o.p. will start calling the President of Pakistan, "sexist".
OH, now that is JUST the respect we need in the world. THE USA could potentially have the PRETTIEST VP......makes me feel secure !!!
FREE SARAH PALIN
Style over substance! Lovely, world leaders lose blood in their brains from the distraction of this hot babe... It's all about the distraction!
This is soooo sexist, soooo disgusting....soooo sad!!
Oh good. Now that means she is qualified to be Vice.
Typical man, thinking with his other head instead of the one that has a so-called brain in it. Looks will only get you so far in life. You have to have a brain, which Palin truly don't have.
Now are they going to call the Pakastanis' sexist... and run AD against them. And she has the nerve to smile and say thank you.
I guess they will find a way to blame Obama for Pakastanis' behavior.
Are you kidding me? When does the swimsuit round start? If she's not going to answer any questions or talk to the press then she is nothing more than a beauty queen.
Pres. Zardari,
The reason why she looks so good is because this woman doesn't do anything else than sit around her governor's office and let her husband make the decisions for her. When she is bored she will look out the window and see Russia. Her children are home with who knows taking care of them. We just hope they are well and doing good in school. As a mother of three I'm still waiting for her to answer that question. I don't find much time for anything these days when my life is all about my family.
McCain wants to show leadership, FACE Obama, FACE the people, FACE the questions, FACE the cameras. Dont be McRun. Fake leadership is not real leadership
Are you kidding me! Is America really going to elect a vice-president who wows foreign leaders with her looks? How about her intellect and knowledge of foreign affairs?
Obama-Biden 08
The only sensible choice
I'm appaled that you are covering this farce. Have some media scruples and refuse to cover this dog and pony show unless the press can witness the whole process and Palin holds a confernece instead of going through her advisors
You can bring her to Pakistan nobody in America will be bothered
Oh good...she can go to Pakistan and become President there.
This would be great if we were looking for eye candy but we are looking for a VP that can do their job. Thanks but no thanks to Palin.
Why aren't women outraged about this exchange? All Palin can say is thanks, you are nice!! How pathetic!! This lady is a joke?
great, we need someone to tackle foreign leaders and they just want to tackle her! yikes, this is adding discomfort on top of discomfort for me. She does not belong in "these positions" so to speak. How creepy. Stuff like this makes me think Palin is not the best pick at this time.
Oh God, gag me with a spoon.
AMERICA RESPECTS JOHN McCAIN.
AMERICA LOVES SARAH PALIN.
And the obamabots need to get over it.
So why aren't McCain's people screaming sexism on that?
You suck CNN. I just lost my lunch.
Are you telling me that the McCain campaign didn't say what a "SEXIST" remark he made? I can't believe that they did not comment. After all, doesn't Palin have brains and that is the issue, not her looks.
Shame on the McCain Campaign......................I smell double standards!
Zardari then called her "gorgeous" and said: "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you."
Is it just me, or does this sound like an underhanded insult? Honestly, I can see where it's coming from.
Ha, ha....did anyone catch this..."Zardari then called her "gorgeous" and said: "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you."
So American aren't crazy about her due to all of her executive experience and abilities??? Ha,ha......
I guess Sarah Palin's one qualification for being a heartbeat away from the presidency is that she is gorgeous.
One word of the conversation really stuck out for me........"Crazy".
HA!!
Thank you sir! That makes her an even STRONGER candidate for Vice Presidency.
Oh wait...
Sorry first Dud,
What do you expect from miss Alaska?
I guess its more important to judge someone by their looks.
Hey McCain. Why don't you tell the Pakistani president that was sexist? He wouldn't say that to a man right? Go ahead! I dare you! you can say anything Obama says about Palin is sexist. C'mon...grow a pair.
Yes, she is so nice and as smart as two rocks.
Oh this is terribly, TERRIBLY important. Thank you.
the only qualifying aspect needed by nascar fans.
He sounds like a dirty old man! Poor Palin, why must she be subjected to such treatment. She wants to be appreciated for her brains not her beauty.
What an airhead bimbo. Does she really think comments like this will actually help her? You have gotta be kidding me, is that the extent of the conversation?? He tells her she is gorgeous and she gushes...oh thank you, you're so nice!! This is utterly ridiculous. She can't run a country by batting her eyelashes and smiling. She is an insult to American women, a horrible representation of American women, we are so much more than that!
Take her with you, our way to say congratulations on your recent nomination.
Let the nasty insults from certain in this great nation begin... 3.....2......1......
Are we going to hear the republicans go to the "sexism" card this time as well?
Wasnt tha a sexist remark? He should be repremanded for that remark.
sigh... we are truly the laughing stock of the world if her and Mccain are the follow-up act to the Bush comedy tour
Oh Please. I guess that winking she always does worked.
What's the difference between Governor Palin and Vice President Cheney?
Lipstick!
Bravo to the Pakistanis. They found a topic that Palin was actually able to understand.
Palin should have come back with something better than "Thank you". His sexist comments are sickening.
WOW..now that's news!!!! I don't give a rats a$$ what he tell her...she still doesn't have any substance...Oh yeah...she doesn't talk to the press..she only give speaches...my bad!!
What a Lie! Palin Gorgeous? I don't think so! Nice try but looks will not stop the fact that she has ZERO foreign policy credentials!
OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12
Sounds like the president really took the meeting Painlin seriously! Hilarious.
must be the liberal sexist side of him...
Okay once you get past the looks where is the substance?
Gorgeous, but all fluff, no substance at all. She apparently spends all of her time on makeup and outfits. I'm glad to see the VP training is going well but would like to see McCain let her talk to the media.
Why won't she talk to the media???
Enough of the photo op's already.
Folks, there is no substance behind these photos. They aren't talking about anything important!
Quit publishing this crap CNN!
Great....She's hot.
I mean helll...what other qualifications does a VP need?
God help America.......from itself.
You've got to be kidding me. Really? If there are any women out there who think this is "a compliment" or "nice" or "appropriate," you are out of your mind.
This is foreign policy heading in a bad direction.
Sorry Sarah, but looks don't qualify you to run the country. Get over yourself.
you have got to be kidding me???
for the love of God. stop the madness!!!!
moose-munch & bunch,,,,, GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
obama/biden '08
"It's going great," Palin said. "These meetings are very informative and helpful, ..."
On the job training? For the second most powerful person in the world? You have GOT to be kidding. What a joke this is!!!
Obama/Biden '08. Voting for something more then looks...voting for substance.
Sexist, sexist, sexist! SNL should hire him. Haha.
Just what we need a BIRD giving these guys CHEAP THRILLS this is like some BAD PORN MOVIE !!!! WHAT A JOKE THE REPUBLICANS ARE !
She's Gorgeous is very informative? No wonder why she was "vetted" for VP
Eye candy is all she is...
Can't wait for the jealous rant of Campbell Brown on this one! Nice try, idiot, to try and blame the sexism on McCain. If it were not for CNN and other vicious attacks, they might have access to Palin. We see none of the hate toward Obama/Biden that we do for Palin/McCain. MSM simply transferred their hate and vitrol from Hillary to Sarah. Fire Campbell and her bias–Cafferty, too.
As a woman I can say, "HOW UNCOMFORTABLE!" Makes me wonder if they were too busy admiring her to listen to anything she said.. HMM just like Obama supporters!
I'm not a Palin fan but I do feel bad for her. Because she has no relationship with these people and no foreign experience, all they can see is her physical appearance. No one is taking her seriously. It's a McShame.
Really, there is nothing else to say about Palin. She is an ex beauty queen, so she is good looking. That and right wing extremism are the only things Palin can offer.
How many goats do you think Asif Ali Zardari will offer Todd so he can take Palin back to Pakistani with Him? I's take 5 use them as bait in the wolf hunt.
Everyone knows that this election is about beauty contest. Zardari, a completely corrupt politician should know.
Why doesn't she just move to Pakistan?
Pakistan treats women as inferiors, so it will make sense for Sarach to go there, because the press will not bother to ask her important questions.
So the most import thing to come out of ther meeting was his comment of Palin's looks.
Wow....
thats pretty much all i can say...
If Obama-Biden said that it would be SEXIST.
Well it kind of is... "now I know why America is crazy about you"
It definitely isn't because she has a great agenda or a good plan.
What a joke!
Sorry clueless, but being gorgeous won't help our crisis or end the war or fix the ills of the economy. This is not a beauty pageant.
O great!
After meeting with her, Is that all he could come away with. Is she that shallow.
ahhhh, god she's an idiot......................................
what a miss. here boss is susspending his campain to save america did any one told her?
What a shame... SHe's being treated as fresh meat. And her own party won't allow her to speak. It's like a child who is seen and not heard. So much for pitbull, huh?
did he also say she is empty headed and knows nothing? where's carly fiorina now, she should be shouting "sexism" at the top of her lungs.
Wow! Nothing related to her so called Foreign Expertise. Dumb and Dumber, you are a disgrace.
She's gorgeous, good enough credentials for a republican. Gorgeous but inexperienced for the job of VP.
And this is news because????
Zardari – not the whole of America is crazy for this woman, OK? Get that straight. Majority of us think she's a joke!
How professional!
Yep, that's right, she would be a heartbeat away from the presidency with nothing to add to the table, but hey at least she's gorgeous. What a pandering to the American people by McBush, instead of picking a running mate that is ready, he picks one that is likable and that will draw attention for all the wrong reasons. And then the republicans have the guts to say the democrats are being sexist! Wow, you wont even let Palin talk to the press, she is on this ticket for show, and the democrats are the sexist ones, increadible conclusion!
Oh how sexist!!! Ha Ha, Well I guess that's Why McCAIN PICKED HER. Everbody does not love Sarah Palin.
Obama/Biden 08
Is this sexist? Did they talk about any issues? Is anyone taking her seriously?
What an insult to women.
Can this be considered as McCain pimping out Palin???
S-------E-------X---------I------–S------–T!!!!!!!!!!!1
Ew, creepster.
Too funny! Not news, but funny.
Is this for real??????
Wow! Way to lend credibility to the ticket and the country. This and McCain wants to postpone the debate. Stellar day for the Republican presidential ticket.
Barf.
A "gorgeous" Dick Cheney who also happens to be a religious radical with no national or international experience.
How scary is that???
OBAMA/BIDEN 08 AND 12
ZZZZZZZZZ.........
Well, Mr. Pakistan Pervert–
Got news for you–all of America is NOT in love with Palin and some of us look beyond skin deep.
And the democrat campaign is sexist–HA!
I'll bet if Ahmedinejad met Sarah Palin, he'd give up the Iranian nuclear program if she asked him real nice.
That's a foreign policy!
S———————E——————-X————————-I——————–S——————–T
Wow...now if this had been made by a democrat the McCain campaign would be blasting on every station how sexist it was. Just goes to show that nobody takes this women seriously, he would have never made such comments toward Hillary b/c she is a serious politician not some political eye candy or the "hot vp" as the republicans called her!
I guess thats not sexist?
AGAIN, WHAT A JOKE, YOU ARE PRETTY....NOTHING MORE
PALIN THE BEAUTY QUEEN, NOT A POLITICIAN
OK I vomited.
This is a pure joke and the media has taken the bait and ran with it. Look CNN these people are users and will do or say anything to win this election. Sara is not qualified to meet these leaders and have them to think that we are all a bunch of gun toting hicks.
Oh but if Obama or any Dem said that it would be called sexist......................Sarah Palin makes me want to puke !!
I live in Alaska and for those voters out there that think you have a gem just because she's a women or because she is a Republican or what ever reason you justify to yourselves that she is a good choice let me tell you, here in Alaska we has Alaskans are learning more and more each day about this women.
She has lied why she fired Walt Monegan, she has made bad economic choices for Wasilla and Alaska has a whole, leaving them in dept. Wake Up, if Alaska is getting smarter then so should the rest of nation! Educate yourselves and just think, "Do I want to leave this country better or worse then it is now for our children and grandchildren?"
This crash course that Palin is taking/promoted to do is unimpressive! It will hold no ground come election day, and the McCain campaign will soon see that it was a mistake!
hahaha, it looks like Palin's looks are still getting her somewhere, but hopefully not to the VP office.
Well lets see. She's been meeting with world leaders since yesterday and what little bit have they talked about?
Babies and her looks. With two wars, a country wide/soon to be world wide financial melt down, health care crisis, here and abroad and this is the depth of conversation.
Pathetic!
What a sexist.
I can see that foreign leaders are really taking Palin seriously...
The whole time she's thinking 'that's why we weren't supposed to let the darn reporters in here!'
OMG!!! and she fell for it!
now she nows what a real sexist comment really is. NO, WAIT, he wants to bed her! OMG!
V.I.L.F Baby!
Now we KNOW Pakistan is in league with the Republicans! Let's be truthful – Palin is NOT that attractive. Sure, she is pretty, but I could find a gaggle of better lookers on the streets of Chicago in one afternoon (and they probably would know more about this country too!)
Come on....this is the Pakistani govt playing games with the US people. Another clue that Osama Bin Laden (remember him?) is hiding in their (and the Republicans) embrace.
The Truth is the truth – can you take it?
WHO'S SEXIST NOW DOES THAT MEAN THAT PALIN CAN'T TALK TO PAKISTAN NOW.
Well.....Zardari realized real quick exactly what Palin is good for........
Eye candy.
hmmmmm seems thats the only thing people can say about palin...
What a profound statement.....she is not takin seriously by leaders, just a nice looking alaskan.......
That doesn't make a v.p. with lots of influence....
Go back to your Alaska Palin....
Um, Maybe the world will be more peaceful, the economy will improve, and foreign relations will be superb through her beauty! yehhh!
The Whole of America is NOT crazy about her !!!!!!
She's nothing but a disgrace to this country and to women.
McCain and Palin will Never get my Vote !
This I'm sure won't seen by the McCain campaign as sexist? right? Only if Obama had said something like that...
What crap!
Sarah/McCain- THANKS BUT NO THANKS!
Oh my god.......SAD.......I see the McCain foreign policy shaping up. If you follow us into attacking Iran, Russia, and any other country we hate, we will let you hug Palin!
$700 billion to bail out wall street how about main street? America do you realize that that $700 billion that you will spend will be use to bail out Chinese banks and other foreign banks bad business and then they will sell these business back to us American. We should not let this to happen because the same mess will come back again in wall street. Wall Street greed, big CEO Payout need to have control over them. This $700 billion just show you that the republicans do not care. Congress please do not let George Bush rush you and us American into this mess. Bush has four months in power and he does not care of whatever mess that $700 billion will make.
Is that package has a plan to bail out main street as well? The economy cannot run good without main street confidence. If main street do not have money that $700 billions is a waste.
This is a mess and we need to take a real good look at the way McCain is keeping us from making an informed decision of the next President of the United States of America.This country makes way too much money to let a little 700 Billion dollar loan get in the way of the RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE!!! The GOP are always using fear to get anything done. They used fear to get us in this wayward WAR that has killed more than four thousand Americans. The way the GOP has been as of late makes you want to see charges brought up against Bush. The GOP needs to stop using fear to get us motivated and stop avoiding the media and the American people. Vote for Obama 08 and 2012.
.
Wow. What a productive meeting.
"a lot of good people sharing appreciation for America"
duh! what's that supposed to mean?
Oh, great, now she has foreign policy experience, right? What nonsense – not even worth the space on this news site.
I smell the mother of all sex scandals if they get elected!
Take her to Pakistan !!! she will do very well there....
Quite telling. I doubt he would have said such a thing if she presented as a high quality knowlegeable leader. Commenting on someone's looks is not done with people with credibilty no matter how they look. When he says her looks are why so many Amereicans love her its a statement that there is no beef there under the surface. Looks like another backfire on the McCain campaign.
She is pretty so what does that have to do with her experience. What does it say about us if a foreign official calls her "gorgeous" and says: "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you."
What does looks have to do with her prepardness to be the V.P.? Isn't that sexist, women?
So instead of conducting business, he's going to try to get in her pants/skirt.
I would never vote for her, but she is bang'n.
Carly Fiorina must be positively apoplectic.
This is for the president of the United States of America!!! NOT Miss America!!! Pelin get real!!!!
Weren't the Republicans deeply offended a few weeks ago when Joe Biden called her good looking? Didn't they consider it "sexist" when he said it?
THIS! is why the McCain camp didn't want the press in the room. This is the kind of crap they keep reporting on. She's a beautiful woman – I know, it's amazing – but...GET OVER IT and get to the real issues.
Ohhh my! Watch out Sarah!! The Middle East has very distinctive ways to treat the ladies...TRUST ME! LOL!!
this is too funny !!!!
Well, I don't know about anyone else, but that's good enough for me for her to be VP or President. NOT
If I have the choice or her being gorgeous or Hillary being intelligent I would take Hillary any day.
Didn't the McCain campaign jump all over Obama when he did his world tour. Didn't they say things like he's acting like he's president already.
Um...what the heck is all this about then?
And this is supposed to help her and America how?
We have important issues to consider as the current economic crises and McCain is wanting to suspend his campaign and the debates and you report this crap.
OH....BARF!!! I can't take this anymore. Not even world leaders take her seriously. And who said anything about the americans being crazy about her???
Isn't the Pakistani president suppose to be griefing for his deceased wife? I can smell scandal if they ever put this empty suit chick in the White House.
OMG!!! even the world leaders do not take this woman seriously!!
lets get real here and have her speak with the press !! these leaders are laughing at America behind close doors!! This is truly a disgrace!!
McCain should be ashamed of himself anything to win.
Will he be labeled as a sexist for commenting her? He would if he was supporting Obama.
nuf said...
...and the monkey pushed the button.
An added bonus for implementing our foreign relations goals. McCain/Palin08; Hillary 2012!
What a JOKE!!!!!
Now the Republicans should be ashamed of the comments their candidate is receiving from a Muslim leader -
But Wait, Looks like she is thrilled to hear the appreciation for America from the borrowers whose main focus is the extract our tax-payers money and she should have been informed that these Heads of States will always praise America no matter what.
If this is what she considers helpful and informative foreign policy experience, she should have met with French, German and Russian Head of States. Who knows, she would have fainted!!!
The "whole of America is crazy" about Palin Mr. Zadari??? I'm pretty sure I'm not and I think there are others. Its nice to see that America isn't the only one stuck with shallow leaders. In these troubled times, I'll take ugly with a brain over gorgeous any day.
This just shows how little she is respected.
this is how seriously the world takes her...
AWKWARD! Man, and we think OUR politicians are weird.
THATS ALL SHE HAS, LOOKS AND NO BRAINS
We all know the being gorgeous is a qualification for Vice-President. Come on CNN. Report something of substance.
Most of the old guys I know are voting for her for that very reason. They look at her the same way McSlimey does. They have abandoned their political ideology for something much more base. Who ever said that THINKING had anything to do with decision making. Idiots.
hahaha this is getting tooooooooo funny toooooo meeeeeeee
Hey GOP
I thought complimenting her on her looks was sexist. Where's your outrage????
I just thow up
Oh.. wow now she DOES have foreign policy experience. That did it for me, I'm voting for McCain / Palin now for sure!
Sarcasm....
How do you say, "I'm about to puke" in Urdu?
Will Fox go crazy over that "sexist' remark?
I havent laughed so hard in a long time. All he seemed to care about was her looks. Gosh, if that was all it takes, G'W'B should have got a facelift and pumps. We would have world peace by now!
HAHHAHAHA!
She's been reduced to eye candy.
I'm sorry but what a load of.... fill in the blank. _______
Is this a SNL dream come true, yea but a bad dream to us americans who are tired of the GOP as they are playing games. Smoke and mirrors no more. Let's take back the power and vote them out on Nov 4th.
Give me a break while I puke
Like I said before THIS is NOT a beauty contest!!!!
its a vote for one of the highest offices in the land and Capbell Brown is right.... release Palin to the media!!!!
she needs to be vetted exactly like Obama was for months on end!!!
How exciting! Yawn.
Hey, CNN, report some REAL news! No one cares about silly fluff! This country is in the midst of an economic melt down and you report on the President of Pakistan calling Palin gorgeous??? Get real.
America is not crazy about Palin. The only people who are happen to be right wing partisan morons who enjoy lying, mudslinging empty suits like the Barbie-bot because she reminds them so much of Bush!
08BAMA/BIDEN
well maybe she could put on something sexy if she needs to make any kind of foreign policy decisions.
Is that she's pretty?
hmmm, seems like the same consensus as America...and most republians i talk to who always end with "YEAH, BUT SHE'S HOT!"
he got it right...
the only reason why people like her is because she is gorgeous.
The McCain campaign calls her the " hottest VP"....as if being hot was a requirement to be VP.
she is gorgeous but, unlike Hillary Clinton, she does not have anything else....i mean she is someone who beleives that seing Russia from her home is foreign policy experience....see what i mean...
There you have it: in the opinion of the Pakistani president, Sarah Palin's popularity in the U.S. is because of her looks.
Pakistan president Zardari is a man! And Palin is McWar's PROP.
who has absolutely nothing intelligent to talk about!!!!.
I used to love Alaska.
Zardari, can you take Sarah home with you!!!!!
This would be a great SNL skit.
'These meetings are very informative'...I just found out that they think I'm 'gorgeous'!
God help us all.
What a joke!
She's all EYE CANDY!
Give me a break!!!
This is a shame that's what we want in a vp? Her good looks want save us when the world is in a crisis.
"It's going great," Palin said. "These meetings are very informative and helpful, and a lot of good people sharing appreciation for America."
------------–
Has she ever completed a gramatically correct sentence?
No she is not...
Just wondering if Pain-in told him about the bridge to nowhere. Har stance on earmarks, yet requesting more earmarks per capita then any other state in the union. Her stance on abortion. Not wanting to talk at all to the media. That she basically has a habitual problem of lying. An on, and on, and on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
unreal..... No sane person takes her seriously.
And this is important because?????????? Why is everything about Sarah Palin Just plain silly sounding. I don't like her and I'm with Campbell Brown. Why not show something about her in a more intelligent light.?.......oh, I forgot the McCain camp won't allow it. Biden said she was pretty and he caught grief.
A sign of things to come if this lady becomes VP.
"If he insists, I might hug."
Blechh...
WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN SHE SOLVE THIS ECONOMICAL CRISIS???
Was he suppose to say that? Isn't that sexist? What a joke!
Sarah:
I'm so pretty, oh so pretty,
I'm so pretty and witty and bright!!
Wow...would he have said that about a male VP Candidate??? How sexist!!!
Is this sexist? Can someone tell me if this is sexist? I don't know what's sexist unless a talking head on TV tells me something is sexist so I can then go on message boards and rant vehemently about something that has absolutely nothing to do with the issues I care about.
Gorgeous is a sexist comment if a democrat utters it. Why is the McCain campaign advertising this? It has no bearing on foreign policy discussions what so ever.
Yeah that is about all Palin going for her, but unfortunately this is an election, not a beauty contest .... Grow up Sarah, and end this "high school field trip" to the United Nations something you should have learned about in 8th grade social studies ..... but I guess in Alaska all they learn y'all about is huntin' and fishin'.
I just threw up in my mouth.
yeah, that's a qualification. Jeez.
Why are we not crying sexism now?!? Maybe this is an example of Palins grand experience in foreign affairs?
So gorgeous is ok, but smart or oh Sarah you have great ideas? Nothing. They are all laughing at us.
Heh!? The Whole of America? I'm dumbfounded.....
THIS IS FOREIGN AFFAIRS?!?!??!
that's all she's got and it won't last....
"reporters just happened to be in the room"..........THIS IS A JOKE...
So this isn't sexist Palin..............This is the leader of a Country and that's all he saw was her looks?
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant even comment on this one!
Please – this is nothing more than Foreign Policy 101.
Sexist? Just a bit. I wonder if the McCain campaign will protest this?
So much for Foreign Affairs discussion.......lol Sex sells.
McCain is grand standing & politicizing this very serious subject. If he cared about the public and was really serious he would quietly reached out to Obama before making any independent public announcement about campaign suspension. I resent it. It's just another insult to the intelligence of the voters as well as the refusal to let his cloistered vice presidential candidate freely speak to the press.
In my opinion, the statement is disrespectful and sexist. Either would have made that statement to Bill Clinton or George Bush. Both are good looking me.
The picture says it all. Look at her expression.
That's nice. Great Foreign Policy, Palin, the reverse sexism.
Zardari also knows a "HOT MILF" when he sees one!
but when obama/biden say anything about her in any way its sexist? huh what double standard? two faced? huh
Dear CNN,
I am so troubled by Sarah Palin's visit to the UN to meet with world leaders that I am going to comment on it. Since when do presidential and vice presidential nominees conduct "field trips" to get a taste of world politics? It is humorous for Palin to think that her lack of experience cannot be mended with a field trip to the UN to meet with world leaders. In addition, I believe that the McCain/Palin campaign has truly turned into a drama circus. The visit to the UN with all the camera shots showing Palin sitting with leaders seems no more than pure show business, and I think it is outrageous for her to think American leadership is such.
Her lack of experience portrays the belief that anyone can run Washington and it is upsetting to think that our American leadership has come to that.
Getting hit on by a foreign leader, now she's qualified to be VP. I hope Saturday Night Live runs with this.
How many years did he spend in prison for corruption ?
And now he shows us he's a liar, too.
Lipstick on a pig, baby.
Wow, talk about no respect for a candidate. I don't think these world leaders take her seriously.
Zardari must have thought someone had sent him a prostitute, he was right!
SENATOR McCAIN KNOW THAT HE IS NOT WINNING SO HE TRYING TO STOP SENATOR OBAMA . DO NOT LET HIM TRICK HIM . YOU HAVE THE MOMENTUM DO OBAMA GO YOU HAV E NOTHING TO LOOSE GOD BLEES YOU YOU ARE CHOSEN
You have got to be kidding me. Is this American Idol or what?
Wow – she's gorgeous. Impressive comment on the substance of the republican VP candidate. Did they review any issues??? Did they talk about the state of affairs between Pakistan and the US? War in Afghanistan? Anything besides how darn good looking she is? What a bunch of bull shisha
Did someone share with him that "the whole of America" isn't necessarily Palin-crazy? Besides, beauty really is only skin deep. No one is denying she's a beautiful woman. However, it does not qualify one to be a hair's breadth away from being the president of our great country.
Do we even need to comment?!?!
OMG... So we're suppose to vote for Palin because she's pretty?
SNL's gotta make another skit about this...
This is Worth the price of Fish Guts in Taipei?
They havent seen her without the Lipstick...
It's Official! She Now has Foriegn Policy Experience..
I feel so much better now! Palin/McCain 2008 – 2012..
and I have a Bridge and Road in Alaska and a 700 Billion dollar bailout to sale you to
P.S. for those who listen to Rush talk about Obama taking money from Freddie and Fannie, it was regular workers, your every day joe/jane, McCain got more money from the Executives/Lobbyist, but you didn't hear Rush mention that!
Wake Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhhh that so sweet! and I can see Russis from my house!!!
What the ????!
and thats about all the credentials she needs to be president
What a joke
How nauseating!
well that's reasurring. so we are safe now! our foreign policy is safe becasue the VP candidate is hot... yippy
Asif...you sly dog you! Now that's what I call foreign affairs!
Wow- just what we want- world leaders thinking our VP is a babe. What about smart, qualified and ready to be VP? The exchange is just another sign that world leaders are not taking her seriously.
Giggle Giggle... Geez as a women I am disgusted that they "handle" her like she is an idiot. Don't talk... just look pretty. McCain is such a womanizer and his votes on women's issues prove he holds all women in as much disdain as he treats Palin. This is not a good example of how Palin will negotiate with foreign leaders. The pretty wears off as soon as the issues come to the table and McCain won't even let her talk to the press, let alone work with foreign leaders. What a pretty little VP she will make for his trophy cabinet though.
What??
Now Pakistan's new President is going to give up Bin Laden if he can get some Alaskan tail?
Another joke provided to us by McLame.
Even leaders of Foreign Nations recognize that Palin has no VP appeal aside from the fact that she is a woman... That is sexist and sad.
Hmmmmm, well i guess if she's good lookin......
Gives new meaning to foreign policy "experience", doesn't it?
Who cares. Let's hear her voice. LET PALIN SPEAK. WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY.
If Palin was a man do you think they would be making the same comments. They obviously don't look at her as Vice President material..
She is gross- what are they blind??
She's a token....a joke to the international powers.
Next!
Oh great! Now we have foreign countries that want nothing more than to get in our VP's pants. Does this mean we'll be sleeping with the enemy?? Ha ha.
Photo ops only. No substance. When the press was allowed in during Palin's meeting with Karzai, all they talked about was his baby son. That's what she calls informative!
where's the sexism outrage?
oh I forgot, she's learning to be a diplomat.
Oh for the love of God – who CARES what she looks like. Does she have a brain? That's what people need to know.
"EYEBROW RAISING EXCHANGE!!!!! Snap the picture! Cause that
is all you, the Americans are going to get, pictures!!!! In people magazine. That should get votes for McTrick who wants your children
to go to war.
Sarah's son has to be "one of the protected few." Most mothers cry
when their son goes off to war. Yes, they cry. And they are very fearful
that they may NEVER see their sons and daughters alive again!
Obama Biden 2008 Save this Country from this debacle and the huge
"self created" mess we are in. Fundamentally, financially, and prestigiously. We are not respected in the world.at this time.
We can change all that. Yes we can.
I used to like Alaska, now I hate Alaska! Well, it's representation.
Sarah is not a good representation of your state, Sorry to say to
you, Alaska!
Obama Biden 2008
Being of pakistani heritage. i am embarrased by the actions of Mr. Zardari.
haha..and so it begins. If the right wings think this woman will be respected among world leaders, tespecially in the muslim and arab world, they better think again...lol. nothing more than a pin up doll.
OBAMA / BIDEN 08'
I thought the press not being allowed in "was a mistake"? That's what the McCain campaign said following the Karzai meeting. So, how does that same mistake happen again?
It is PATHETIC that she can not answer questions from the media. It is un-American. And all we get to hear about is that she talked to Karzai about his kid, and that the Pakistani president think she's gorgeous? HA! This is a freaking joke. If Americans vote for McCain, they are ridiculous. He will die, and SHE will be your President.
Blah.
Wow – That's a little sexist don't ya think?
I'll bet the Republican's will be outraged by this treatment of their VP candidate.
Too bad gorgeous is not a foreign policy credential and lipstick won't do the trick.
Sarah who? The one doing foreign policy 101 in NYC..?
That's not what I would call a comment of respect. She isn't, and won't be taken seriously, she's McCain's pretty poodle. (That's the perception, whether it's true or not, I don't what's in the mind of individuals).
Benazir Bhutto must have put up with a lot, God rest her soul.
There was obviously nothing else that he could compliment her on.
Bye Hillary, bye Pumas, Palin will win this election for McCain without your help. No more kissing up to screaming clinton supporters.
Palin 2012
Well that is one way to handle an international crisis.
First children and now looks; these are really important issues being discussed!
"Zardari then called her "gorgeous" and said: "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you." It's obvious he is not paying attention to our news coverage, or maybe he's watching FOX news.
I guess this puts to bed whether she's qualified to lead our great country.
Being "gorgeous" is clearly the #1 qualification I look for in the next Prez of the US......
I'm going to throw up....Ugh....They only see her for the beauty not the brains....
That's too much, to the point of being inappropriate. For the first time I am feeling bad for Gov. Palin...
Great! maybe geogeous will put her in the VP office.......I want more than georgeous for VP.
This is so sad!!!
Pakistan can have the beauty queen. She will fit right into your society of banning books and covering up things...
And this is news ....good grief let us hear issues...let us hear from her what she thinks...let us get a solution for this crisis in Wall Street ...
this is just too sad for words!!!
Not only is she gorgeous she is a extremely likable. Not only that she
is someone we can trust. An authentic American.
His comments are telling.
Where are the claims of sexism?
I have never heard comments like this in reference to Condi Rice.
She is not taken seriously by other leaders. There is no starting point that appears to be based on mutual respect.
There is not a person alive who thinks that it is acceptable to stop paying your mortgage, the electric bill, or stop feeding your kids and getting them to school on time just because your mother is on life support in the hospital.
McCain, Obama, and all of Congress are going to be basing decisions on being counselled and getting the "cliff note" explanation of what's going on.
There is no need for the debate to be suspended.
This is the same as the time out after time out at the end of the game to stretch out the game and delay the inevitable in hopes of some type of comeback.
Debate on!
Just goes to show that none of the foreign leaders and dignitaries will ever take her seriously! The majority of them do not even respect or value women any way, so I cannot envision them sitting down talking with her about anything important. All she is to them is a pretty face.
What a joke...this was just a publicity stunt and a photo op!
Put a thought balloon over Sarah's head that reads "Oh Asif, you sexist pig you. How much money do you have?"
Talk about inappropriate. Watch the Republicans blame this on Democrats.
The British Newspaper has reported that Palin had an affair with her husband's buddy. Since the incident, the relationship with the friend has been cut. The British newspaper seems to have evidence. Can anyone pick up on this story? Is there another cover up?
All looks no substance.
I bet no foreign leader has never wanted to hug George Bush.
Prob. not Obama or McCain either.
well, that's a comment hillary certainly wouldn't hear,
Oh my LORD. PUKE!!!!!!!!
Pretty freaking sad. Whether she's qualified to be VP or not, it says very little for the Pakistani delegation. The first comment was fine, the other ones went towards creepy very quickly.
Sorry, did i miss something?
Is Palin now in the running to be America's next top VP?
That is why McCain picked her...becuase she is "gorgeous"...have you not noticed that McCain has a thing for beautiful women???? His two wives were former models and now his VP is a former beauty queen....this guy does not need to run this country...he loves money and beautiful women, and lots of power...give him the White House and he will gamble us all away....
How sad – sex sells worldwide! Poor little Sarah is really being taken advantage of!!!!! She should have accepted this pathetic role with her eyes open. Oh, they probably were open but she is just so dumb she let Grampy play her for the fool she is!
Maybe she can just sleep her way to foreign policy experience
It's good to know that the world will take Palin seriously because she is attractive.
This is news?
*gag*
P-U-K-E!
I think I am going to be ill..."You're Gorgeous" is her foreign policy?
I wonder if Republicans will can Pakistan's president sexist?
This is the waste of time to see someone who runn ing for VP do not answer question from the media it ashame to see this happen how we going to know what she speak about foreign policy
I guess there is no accounting for taste but if they consider everything else such as Obama's sweetie comment sexist then so is telling pain in that she is gorgeous.
Are you kidding me ? She is gorgeous... Can't you all see what that is all about ? They won't take her seriously at world forums !!!!
Um, the "whole of America" is NOT in love with her.
Trust me, he would have said the same thing had it been Paris Hilton. The smile, perhaps, would have been bigger. Oh, and his status back home would have been much higher.
This was fun. Now, is she smart enough, able enough to actually answer a real question? Or just 'ready to lead'?
Ohhhh boy, WOW! SHE IS HOT!!!
And I can't wait for that Campbell Brown/Sarah Palin catfight.., I mean unbiased interview.
Ahhh! How cute! The pretty liar with no brain!
We really know how she got where she is, don't we?
She is a disgrace to all women who have had to work hard to make it to where they are.
ONE MORE REASON WHY I AM VOTING OBAMA/BIDEN '08
the only qualification I need her to have! what could go wrong with such a gorgeous VP? oops was that sexist?
LOL. How sexist of him to call her pretty. Speed dating foreign relations style.
Well, looks like they're just confirming everything that we're saying over here – she's all looks.
Creepy!
Gorgeous........Maybe that is all that it takes to wooo the male population. A president elected because she is considered gorgeous. From now on candidates may be put into offfice by their looks. Well, then Obama will be president....he is really good looking.
"If he's insisting, I might hug", Hillarious, with McCain and Palin winning (because of deep racism), you american are in for a heck of a ride.
Does Governor Palin's good looks mean she can run the country? Does the fact that foreign leaders think she is "gorgeous" reason to vote for her?
lol..funny..that's all they talk about..they don't want the press closer because I want to hear about what she thinks of the "Bush doctrine" now that there is a new Pakistani Leader.
gotta LOVE that hard – hitting stuff !
