<snip>

Palin, Republican John McCain's running mate, also tried to burnish her foreign policy credentials by meeting here with Israel's ambassador to the United States, apologizing for the session's delay.

"We look forward to ... working with your Jewish agency," she told Ambassador Sallai Meridor just before her speech outside Washington.

Israel was established in 1948 as the Jewish homeland but has a secular, elected government.

1. The woman is such a fucking idiot!

She has absolutely no conception of the significance of anything she says.

[thewiseguy]

2. I dont think even McCain wants to win anymore.

3. The country I live in now....

is an agency? WTF?

[demokatgurrl]

4. I just saw this in the NY times

she has no fucking clue, does she?

[sabra]

5. McCain: but but but she is even more qualified than me to be President

:shrug:

6. " Oh sure, you betcha, I'm looking forward to working with all blasphemous Christ killers ya know"

"God loves you Jews and your little Jew-ey country,
but He'd love you more if you would become Christians
like me. And then He would stop sending terrorists to kill you"

[Terran]

9. LOL! n/t

[TwilightGardener]

20. ...

:rofl:

7. Shorthand for "we look forward to contracting with the Mossad

after the LIEberals take our blackwater away."

Speaking of Blackwater... someone should ask Joe the Plumber for his industry's definition of "black water."

10. She's so fucking stupid!

:mad:

8. OK he just lost every single Jewish vote. To call the Ambassador of Israel...

The representative of a "Jewish Agency"???????????????????

OMG OMG OMG!!!! You know what she's trying to do don't you? Set the wheels of Armageddon in motion.

That has to be one of the most destructive things a representative from the US (and make no mistake she IS a representative of this country) has ever uttered out loud. I know there's some kind of prohibition against using terms that reference WWII's most evil dictator, but this is out of the playbook for godsake.

I hope you're happy Joey L. You're damn right you had a lot to repent this Yom Kippur.

12. Is "Jewish Agency" some kind of code-word for the Fundiegicals?

I'm familiar with their superficial support for Israel because they see her as a necessary precondition for their doomsday bloodbath fantasies, but is this particular phrase meaningful?

[Democat]

11. Can she see his "Jewish agency" from Alaska?

What a complete idiot.

Our apologies to the ambassador!

13. There is such a thing but it's not what she thinks it is.

From Wikipedia:
Following the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the government created a new Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) to facilitate economic development and the absorption of immigrants.

The Jewish Agency has a continuum of programming to bring Israel to local worldwide Jewish communities.

Maybe she meant "I will work with your Elders of Zion"

[bklyngrl60]

14. I think it's exactly what she thinks it is...apparently the Evangelicals

anxious to usher in the Second Coming have tried to broach a relationship with JAFI.

As a Jew, this to me is so very very terrifying.

[GoesTo11]

15. Oh, Christ

so to speak.

Does this play in with her weird Jews for Jesus pastor connections or something?

[bklyngrl60]

16. Upon more research this gets to be even more and more disturbing...

I guess I'll have to retract my comment that this will result in the loss of all Jewish votes.

Just the votes of the sane Jews. Apparently Meridor was a big proponent of the settlements in the West Bank and Gaza.

:( :( :( :(

17. LOL

it reminds me of when I first introduced my non-Jewish wife (dating at the time) to my parents, and she held out her hand and said "Shalom!"

We were all rolling on the floor after that one. Great icebreaker.

18. If broadcast, this would stick a fork in Palin

[SweetieD]

19. That's a weird phrasing.

[Karenina]

21. I would love to see the ENTIRE quote somewhere.

Has anyone seen it?

[npincus]

22. what's a "Jewish Agency"? Sounds conspiratorial.

[LeftishBrit]

23. What a stupid IDIOT

[Canuckistanian]

24. She'd probably serve them ham at a State Dinner

She's SO fucking clueless.

25. What a dumbass. n/t
