Russians visit Alaska but nobody told Palin

Ooops! I can't believe they admitted this, but Palin's campaign says that Russian officials arrived in Alaska on Monday to discuss energy, but she wasn't told about it. You'd think they (the Russians) would have wanted the USA's Foremost Energy Expert* in attendance, but their meetings were with others.

[source] DOVER, New Hampshire (CNN) – The campaign of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said the Alaska governor was unaware of a visit by Russian energy officials to Anchorage on Monday.

Eight high-level officials from Gazprom, Russia’s state-controlled energy conglomerate, traveled to Anchorage earlier this week to meet with the Alaska Department of Natural Resources and the chief executive of ConocoPhillips to discuss energy projects and the possibility of expanding into new markets.

* as McCain says he believes, and that this expertise gives her the national security experience that she should have.
