Although I believe that foreign travel is fine I also believe that too much is made of 'foreign policy experience' when someone without a Washington, D.C. job on their resume is considering a bid for their party's presidential nomination. That said, simply visiting other countries doesn't impress me that much.

Let's face it, the lefties will never give Sarah Palin an iota of respect no matter where she goes, what she does or says. That's a given. Some on the right (a minority, I believe) are equally disdainful of Sarah Palin and will not be impressed by her taking a few trips overseas. That is also axiomatic.

That being the case, because she hasn't spent much time out of the country (and had little time or reason to globetrot) traveling to Israel and England can't do her any harm. Because a lot of independents are undecided about Palin, the trip is worthwhile. I hope she has a great time.

It turns out that Sarah Palin’s next overseas trip won’t be to England or Israel, as was widely reported Thursday.

CNN has learned that the former Alaska governor will be traveling to Haiti this weekend with Franklin Graham and his relief organization Samaritan’s Purse.

They will be visiting a cholera clinic, among other stops.

All true, but best to take away the easiest attack on her for it.
