Laura Bush: Palin Lacks Foreign Policy Experience

Wow. Even though she makes a lame attempt to follow-up her statement with a small, shaking vote of confidence (probably elicited under the threat of physical harm from Bush-Boy himself...), to have the First Lady say this does not exactly tow the party line of "rah-rah-rah, we are the best choice" now does it?

Laura Bush: Palin lacks foreign policy experience
(09-24) 11:16 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP)

First lady Laura Bush says Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin lacks sufficient foreign policy experience but is a very quick study.

In an interview Wednesday with CNN, the first lady remarked that it's fortunate that Republican presidential nominee John McCain has foreign policy experience himself.

Still, Mrs. Bush says she has a lot of confidence in Palin. She says the Alaska governor has a lot of good common sense, and the first lady adds that she is thrilled to have a chance to vote for Palin on the GOP ticket.

Mrs. Bush also said that she thinks Palin is being treated unfairly because she is a woman. That, the first lady says, is to be expected.
