Judging from that picture - in more ways than one, Coakley is no Sarah!

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

That statement makes her as qualified as any other Democrat.

and told me all about it. I'm thinking of running for  Secretary General of the UN.

I recall during the '08 campaign when Obama was asked about his lack of foreign policy experience, and he offered up a similar defense:  That he had lived overseas.  It's good to see that in spite of the vast amount of experience that simply living in a foreign country provides, Obama chose to reinforce his experience by asking Joe "I've been wrong on every foreign policy discussion since the 80s" Biden to be his running mate.

Coakley embodies the liberal mindset:  Living in a foreign land or knowing someone who lives in a foreign land prepares you for the task of negotiating with foreign governments.  

Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.  -- Ronald Wilson Reagan

 
Leisure traveling and traveling in general don't make people foreign policy experts.  Tanning in spain, getting drunk in cancun, doing the legal prostitutes in Germany, and a week of visiting the sites in Tokyo never make people foreign policy experts.  It's leisure traveling for goodness sake.  That's like a pothead college roommate taking a trip around the world, in a totally intoxicated haze, expecting him to come back Henry Kissinger.  

You only learn things if you "live" abroad as an adult doing stuff like missionary work, working for the CIA, hunting terrorists in the military, etc.  

Also, living overseas doesn't give people the correct worldview either.   

My brother has an Afgan hound so I should be elgible for some government position relating to the war.

I can see Mexico from my bedroom window.

No, wait - that's just my hispanic neighbors.

Hmmn. If Martha Coakely is the "front runner" Democrat, then I think we should all support her ;-)

My state is a libtard cesspool already.  I dont care who it is as long as it isn't seat warmer for the @%#@$%$^$#%$ Kennedys!

The interviewer said foreign policy experience "is probably the number 1 job of being a U.S. senator."

Is she serious? This is a Boston television interview? I was always under the impression that the priority of senatorial responsibilities was this:

1. Oppose all Supreme Court candidates who might, just might side with an anti-abortion plaintiff

2. Oppose Hispanic nominees to lower courts--if they are Republicans--because they might later be nominated to the Supreme Court.

3. Did I mention opposing anti-abortion nominees?

4. Enabling destructive banking policies initiated in the House by a fellow Massachusetts representative to wreck havoc and financial ruin, while at the same time benefiting from a household loan at below-market rates (talk about "subprime"!).

5. Oppose all anti-abortion nominees. (I think I said that already.) 

The Ethiopians from the highlands are even better than the Kenyans at running long distances.
