Asif Zardari and Sarah Palin: Where Mr Ten Percent meets the Pit Bull with Lip Stick

Asif Ali Zardari, President of Pakistan, and his team buttered and flattered Sarah Palin, Republican Vice President nominee and Governor of Alaska, while she met them as part of her International Diplomacy crash course at sidelines of United Nations General Assembly meetings.

Asif Zardari meets Sarah Palin

Bob Drogin of LA Times reports on how the conversation happened:

Shortly before Palin met the Pakistani leader at the InterContinental Hotel, aides for the two squabbled about whether they should sit behind a low coffee table. Zardari’s aides wanted a table, Palin’s staff did not. Ultimately the table was taken away. Score one for the Americans.

Entering the room, Palin was introduced not only to Zardari but to Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Quershi, Pakistan’s foreign minister, and Sherry Rehman, the information minister.

“So nice to meet you,” Palin said politely.

“Busy on the campaign trail?” Rehman asked.

“Yes, yes,” Palin replied.

“How does one keep looking that good?” Rehman inquired.

“Oh, oh, thank you,” the governor responded.

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.”

Apparently Zardari, in shoes of Shaukat Aziz, scored a point over The Pit Bull with a Lip Stick.
