One word: trouble! :hehe:
So Sarah Palin met Zardari today in New York. Idea being that she can polish up her non-existent foreign policy skills. Turned out President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan decided to show his flirty side in front of US media.
Well, seems like another Shortcut Aziz in the making (remember the whole Condi Rice episode). The kinda good news is that Zardari is patently single and available (as opposed to Shortcut). The not-so-good news is that Palin is not.
Here is how the episode is reported by CNN. Now don’t all of us feel proud to be Pakistanis. Yayy!!!

NEW YORK (CNN) - Sarah Palin and the foreign leaders she has been meeting with in New York have said very little to reporters over the last two days, but the press happened to be in the room on Wednesday for one eyebrow-raising exchange, as the new president of Pakistan lavished praise on Palin’s looks.
On entering a room filled with several Pakistani officials this afternoon, Palin was immediately greeted by Sherry Rehman, the country’s Information Minister.
“And how does one keep looking that good when one is that busy?,” Rehman asked, drawing friendly laughter from the room when she complimented Palin.
“Oh, thank you,” Palin said.
Pakistan’s new president Asif Ali Zardari, entered the room seconds later. Palin rose to shake his hand, saying she was “honored” to meet him.
Zardari then called her “gorgeous” and said: “Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you.”
“You are so nice,” Palin said, smiling. “Thank you.”
A handler from Zardari’s entourage then told the two politicians to keep shaking hands for the cameras.
**“If he’s insisting, I might hug,” **Zardari said. Palin smiled politely.
