I find it hard to have a conversation for 5 minutes with anyone this uninterested in the world outside of the U.S. There are definitely two Americas and Palin represents the worst of the one that the rest of the world knows us by. And we wonder why they hate us.

Quoted: For Europeans ... the turning point probably came with the appearance on the Katie Couric show when Palin confessed to not having had a passport until 2006. Europeans are appalled at the thought that someone who wants to be vice president of the most powerful nation on earth had so little interest in the rest of a world which is so vitally affected by the decisions of the man, or woman, in the White House.
