At that point, Zardari entered and the conversation turned decidedly flirtatious. He told her she was "even more gorgeous" than he thought.
"You are so nice," Palin said. "Thank you."
Zardari pressed on: "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you."
At that point a Zardari handler asked them to shake hands again for the cameras.
"I'm supposed to pose again," Palin said.
"If he's insisting," Zardari said, "I might hug."
Eventually, real business got underway.
Palin, who has yet to hold a news conference since McCain plucked her from relative obscurity on Aug. 29, even answered a reporter's question as to how she enjoyed her meetings.
"It's going great," she said. "The meetings are very informative and helpful. A lot of good people share an appreciation for America."
At least she's getting hands-on international relations experience, yannowhatimean.
Choosing Sarah Palin as a VP running mate is like a pro-baseball club choosing a third base coach who has experience coaching tee ball AND little league baseball.
