During there short meeting, Zardari was openly flirtatious with Sarah Palin. The LA Times has the story:

Here's the key:
ZARDARI: “You are even more gorgeous than you are on the (inaudible).”
PALIN: “You are so nice. Thank you.”
ZARDARI: “Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you.”
[A Zardari handler tells the two to shake hands again for the cameras.]
PALIN: “I’m supposed to pose again.”
ZARDARI: “If he’s insisting, I might hug.”
Asif Ali Zardari is not some chaevanistic man from the middle ages. He is husband to asssassinated former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto. The point is, Hillary Clinton would never be treated this way by foreign leaders. They respect her.
Sarah Palin on the other hand, has not much more than good looks going for her.
Its hard not to notice that she's beautiful. The problem is, there's not much more to discuss, thereafter.
Clearly, one of the interesting tidbits from this captured conversation, is how LOST Palin is about what she's SUPPOSED to do. She has a hard time knowing simply how to go through a photo session with foreign leaders, let alone have a real substantive conversation with any.
Now, I dont blame Palin for this interaction. But, it is interesting to know, what this Leader of Pakistan who is in t he spotlightin global international scene rright now, did with his f irst interactino with Palin.
UPDATE:
CNN now has the story:
