As you probably recall, we were graced with Sarah Palin's presence last week: She visited Ground Zero, rubbed the shoulders of a few firemen, made small talk with Henry Kissinger, and convened with a handful of world leaders. One of those foreign dignitaries she met with was Asif Ali Zardari, the president of Pakistan, who raised a few eyebrows when he told Palin that she was "even more gorgeous in life," and said, "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you." When a handler asked Palin and Zardari to keep shaking hands for the camera, Zardari said that he'd gladly hug her, too, if asked. Big mistake, Mr. President: Radical clerics back in the homeland have now issued a fatwa against Zardari for his "indecent gestures, filthy remarks, and repeated praise of a non-Muslim lady wearing a short skirt." Just one more worry about a Palin vice presidency: She may just be too good-looking for the job.
