    Of all the Palin stories coming to light as people start finding out who she is (something the McCain campaign decided not to do it would seem :confused:) this story is just the straw that broke this camel's back :p

    (disclaimer: I never even knew she claimed this, but it's still fun to pretend to be disgraced!)

    Hard to see how this is news really. Her spokesperson said she had been to Ireland. She had but just didn't get off the plane.

    Does anyone really care?

    edit: Does that mean Yeltsin has never been to Ireland either?

    Takes the biscuit - but only in local terms here. No-one will care about her lack of foriegn travel. Americans are not generally known for their globe trotting. Look at Bush!

    Nope. After his trip to South Korea Bush has visited more countries than any other president and spent more time out of the country visiting them.

    Yes but compare that before he became president.
