What foreign policy creds?

The Anchorage Daily News, a newspaper Caribou Barbie probably never reads, reports that Failin is lying through her ass. Like father, like daughter.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who touts her state's proximity to Russia as part of her foreign policy experience, has not met with Russian leaders or delegations, negotiated any Russian issues or visited the country, according to a review of records from the governor's office.

When Couric asked Palin if she'd "ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians," the governor replied, "We have trade missions back and forth."

But Steve Smirnoff, the Russian Federation's consul in Anchorage, said Palin never accepted his invitation to open a dialogue with Alaska's neighbor.

"Though, on numerous occasions, she has asked some of my staff for vodka," he added.

She also lied about meeting the British ambassador, though in her defense, she did have a Guinness last night.
