I will be more careful next time.

this election cycle continues to be an education.

from the editorial originally found here, I was misled that
palin blew it.

I will more careful next time.

Hey, Allahpundit – There are many aspects to the Bush doctrine. Her ‘In what respect, Charlie” was a prefect question to ask. She wanted specifics.

Could you be any more cynical?

I hate to quote myself to say I told ya so..but, I told ya so.

Charles Krauthammer:
Charlie Gibson’s Gaffe
And you could say.. Allahpundit’s knee-jerking gaffe

Shame on you Charlie Gibson.
Let us know what its like sleeping with Dan Rather, you two deserve each other.
Making up news as you go.

Gibson’s a clown act and has zero credibility. Just like his candidate, Barack Obama.

Palin is a women? really? never would have known that…

So much more a statement about you than it is about her, Shipley. Doesn’t your merkin need combing or something?

unprovoked people…i mean…i can understand someone saying that Putin had the idea to overreact to a critical overreach by an idiot georgian president drunk on american support…but UNPROVOKED!?!?!?!? WHAT?

Palin: It’s not over until we say it’s over. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Gibson: Ok…whatever…what are you thoughts on the Monroe Doctrine?

Palin: I think its great, shocks and struts should last more than 3000 miles.

Gibson: A few quick questions on Russia. What are your impressions of Russia’s recent actions?

Palin: Russia is our next door neighbor.

Gibson: What do you think Putin and Medvedev’s intentions are?

Palin: Russia is our next door neighbor.

Gibson: Russia provides a lot of energy to Europe, how does that complicate matters in the region?

Palin: Energy is something I know a lot about because I am from Alaska, and that is near Russia, who is our next door neighbor.

ABC et al, Journalism 101 ……

1. How to pose a question to a Republican candidate.

….. Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?

2. How to pose a question to a Democrat candidate.

….. As you know, the Bush Doctrine centers on several key issues, it addresses the terrorist threat and the use of pre-emptive strikes to nip terrorism in the bud, it focuses on strengthening and supporting newborn democracies world-wide and what steps we should take to insure that democracy thrives when smaller nations are threatened by outside sources who are known enemies of the United States. Do you agree with this foreign policy?

See how it works?

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeexactly

ABC and Gibson need to go back to school for some good old Journalism 101 classes. They are definitely not objective. At 9 pm the AP had a one paragraph quote from Palin making her look hawkish….saying she left the door open for war with Russia. If Georgia and the Ukraine are admitted to NATO under treaty we must defend the. If we had admitted Georgia, Russia would never had done what they did.

Palin perfectly understands our NATO treaty but ABC and Associated Press do not or choose to portray themselves as uneducated journalistic fools!

I’ll add, I’m amazed at how many douchebags seem to have registered just to tell AllahP how much he sucks.
The “MICHELLE SHOULD FIRE YOU!!11!!eleventy!” are most amusing. I bet Malkin is aware of what AP posts, dumba$$es.

I also don’t think it “clear” at all that Palin doesn’t know the Bush doctrine. Knowing the Bush doctrine doesn’t mean being able to answer Gibson’s slimeballs with a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’. Knowing the Bush doctrine means recognising the trap that Charlie is setting up here, and she was perfectly right in refusing to say ‘Yes, of course.’ which was of course what Charlie would have wanted.

You can just imagine the scene where a michael moore styled operative is trying to splice a new anti-Palin ad for the democrats. Taking the Gibson: ‘Bush doctrine’ Palin: ‘what is that’ and Gibson: ‘have you meet any world leaders’ Palin: ‘No’ type clips from that interview to make her look as bad as they can, by cutting off her responses after the first few words. Making it seem that this was her complete answer, and coming up with a title: “Sarah Palin. No experience whatsoever, Doesn’t even know what the Bush doctrine is.”

That said, it’s pretty clear she doesn’t know what he means by the Bush Doctrine

Heck I had never heard that term before this interview and had to click the link to find out what they were talking about. I then did some research to find where this term came from and found it was what a few in the media decided to use to talk about the Presidents National Security Policy. After looking at the policy it involves a heck of a lot more then what Mr. Gibbons highlighted and wanted to focus on.

I love that she kept on calling him “Charlie”.

Me too … she shoulda called him Chuck.

ROFL. But please don’t feed the trolls.

I also get the feeling that Biden is gonna get much, much more than he bargained for at the debate.
