Professor Henry's Crash Course in International Politics..."Don't give an inch" meets "I can see Russia from my house"...

Kissinger with Bush in Austin, Texas, July 2000 (Birchum Jana / Corbis Sygma) via New York magazine...we've seen this before...a politically skilled reprobate governor from the provinces gets a quickie schooling from HK? Here's Bush with Henry, July 12, 2000:

After meeting with state leaders, Bush turned to international matters in a private meeting with Kissinger, who has been advising Bush on foreign affairs.

Thursday's meeting was the first time the two have met one-on-one, though Kissinger and other Republican experts on international affairs appeared with Bush in May when he proposed cutting U.S. nuclear stockpiles and building a missile defense system.

"We had a very interesting and positive discussion, and I appreciate the opportunity to meet with several of the key staff members of the governor's staff," Kissinger said. "A few weeks ago I stood with the governor when I spoke about present events and nuclear strategy, and my impression is we share very compatible views."

So the pressing issue to my mind isn't "Where's the Eagleton treatment?" nor is it "What advice will a war criminal, a drug dealer, and an oil executive give Palin?"

My question is this: "Will another dim-bulb far-right know-nothing governor with a pretty smile hem and haw her way to the presidency?" And a follow-up: "How can liberal democrats get us some of that electoral crack?"
