Presidential Hopeful Sarah Palin Under Fire for Saying US Must "Stand with our North Korean Allies"

Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin comes under fire for saying the U.S. must "stand with our North Korean allies" during interview on Glenn Beck's radio show.

Oops, she did it again! Sarah Palin has proven once again that she is a bumbling idiot. During an interview on Glenn Beck's syndicated radio show, trying to sound smart, she declared that the United States has to stand with "our North Korean allies." Er, so Kim Jong-Il is ally? Ahem, the co-host corrected her and said, South Korea. This wasn't a simple gaffe. It was an enormous blunder. Once again, she has proven that she has no idea what foreign policy is all about, much less to make an intelligent argument. This is the idiot who has presidential ambitions.

CO-HOST: How would you handle a situation like the one that just developed in North Korea?

PALIN: But obviously, we’ve got to stand with our North Korean allies. We’re bound to by treaty--

CO-HOST: South Korean.

PALIN: Eh, Yeah. And we’re also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yes.

Her gaffe has gone international with newspapers in Asia and Europe are repeating the criticism. The Times of India says Palin "did it again," while London's Daily Mail says she "may want to brush up on her geography." The conservative U.S. website The Weekly Standard came to Palin's defense, pointing out that "she correctly identified North Korea as our enemy literally eight seconds before the mix-up," according to media reports. Er, that was after she was corrected.
