Palin forced to apologise after blunder over ‘talks’ with British ambassador

In an answer to questions about her foreign policy experience US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s aides listed talks with Britain’s ambassador to Washington, which never actually took place. British embassy officials contacted the McCain-Palin campaign to inform them of the discrepancy. She has been ridiculed for the few interviews she has granted, the most notable one is citing Alaska’s proximity to Canada and Russia as giving her foreign policy experience.
