FACT-CHECKING MOOSE LADY

When asked by Charlie Gibson if she had ever met a foreign head of state, she said no and went on to defend herself:
PALIN: I have not and I think if you go back in history and if you ask that question of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I just gave you.

OK, let's start with Cheney. He met with King Faud of Saudia Arabia prior to the first Gulf War.

Al Gore? While still in Congress, he had a large role in nuclear arms control and did meet with foreign leaders.

Dan Quayle? It doesn't matter - Quayle was and is an IDIOT.

George H. W. Bush met with foreign leaders before becoming VP, including Deng Xiaoping of China.

Over the last 28 years and 4 VPs, 3 had met previously with foreign leaders.
