Georgia’s President Mikheil Saakashvili goes on Fox News Channel for an interview Neil Cavuto, and quickly finds himself pressed up against a wall to declare his preference for the Republican ticket over the Democratic. Doesn’t Cavuto know who the Kremlin wants to win? Saaskashvili makes a narrow escape from the questioning, but check out the transcript below for some very awkward and funny moments (though probably not as cringe-worthy as this one). You can see that Cavuto smells blood after the president describes Biden as “smart” and Palin only as “delightful.”

SAAKASHVILI: Well, first of all, I met both of them. I mean, Joe Biden is a longtime friend, amazingly smart guy, who gets very good perspective on Georgia’s situation. I met Sarah Palin. She was wonderful. She was absolutely delightful. CAVUTO: Did you have or get a sense of any of those doubts that some of your colleagues at the U.N. have? SAAKASHVILI: Look, I don’t know who was — I mean, I — first of all, I have huge, you know, trust in America’s people judgment. That’s why America is so attractive for us, that this is elections. You know, people have wise judgment. And, in the end, they will decide. And, so, I can hardly comment on individual candidates, at least beside the things what I have said. But it’s very important to remember that, when Ronald Reagan was coming in, everybody was saying: “Who the hell is that guy? He doesn’t know anything about politics.”
