Just found this New York Times article link (from the Guardian site) on Ms Palin:

No surprises really, but again it goes to show what a real piece of work she is.
I was amused also by the news that Ms Palin's claims to have visited Ireland have been exposed as hogwash (she was on a plane that touched down there simply for a refuelling stop), and ditto Iraq (she "saw" Iraq from Kuwait, at the Kuwait-Iraq border). She has also claimed knowledge of Russia - how? By being able to see a tiny part of the Russian coastline from Alaska at a certain time of year.
Still, her and McCain seem suited to each other, seeing as he's a piece of work too. Ugh.
