McCain sought Palin�s ear �many times�

John McCain said Wednesday that he has turned to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin
for advice on foreign policy issues �many times in the past.�

�She has the world view that I have and is very highly qualified and
very knowledgeable,� McCain said during an interview on NPR.

�I�ve turned to her for advice many times in the past, I can�t imagine
turning to Senator [Barack] Obama or Senator [Joe] Biden because they�ve
been wrong,� the Arizona senator said of his running mate. �I certainly
wouldn�t turn to them, and I�ve already turned to Governor Palin
particularly on energy issues and I�ve appreciated her background and
knowledge on that and many other issues.�

McCain said his running mate�s energy experience �extends to a wide
variety of issues� including �her world view of the threats we face from
radical Islamic extremism.�*

The GOP nominee defended Palin from the flak she has taken over her
frequently cited claim that Alaska�s proximity to Russia gives her
foreign policy credentials.


McPalin knows about Islamic extremism? Did she read a comic book about it?
