Charles Gibson OWNED Sarah Palin

[Colobo]

The Bush Doctrine question destroyed her. It was BEAUTIFUL.

[jab105]

1. I loved the smile she got on her face when he asked the question...

it just screamed "you got me and you know it"!!

[flamingdem]

2. That was a good question. Any news hound would know the answer so goes to show

she probably just reads the Wasalia Times!

[Curtland1015]

3. McCain camp: She was just making the point that...

...she is SO unlike the current administration that it's almost like they don't matter. The fact that you took it as ingorance is SEXIST! No more interviews for you until you calm down! For shame!

:eyes:

[navarth]

6. LOL

very nice

[navarth]

4. She's got all the depth of a bumper sticker

and she shows it!!

[eleny]

9. LOL! - Put that on a tee shirt!

[NoQuarter]

13. Ever try to get rid of a bumper sticker?

That shit never goes away.
:rofl:

[navarth]

16. I've still got my BUSH LIED SOLDIERS DIED sticker on. 2nd generation.

First one was a casualty. That's why you buy more than one....

But they're easy enough to get off. Just need a real warm day.

[Frank Booth]

21. Try Goo Gone. It really works.

[jakem]

35. will it work on palin?

[underpants]

36. Great analogy

:thumbsup:

[Honeycombe8]

5. I missed it and have seen only a couple of clips. So Gibson asked some good questions?

I was afraid he'd softball it.

[Colobo]

7. Gibson OWNED her. Bad.

[navarth]

14. It wasn't all that hard, either.

What happens when she goes up against Joe Biden?

I suspect he'll very respectfully, with great courtesy, shine the light even brighter on her total cluelessness.

[Lithos]

15. It was a softball question

Which makes it all the worse for her to blow it like she did.

L-

[Kber]

17. He DID softball it.

She just doesn't really know much about much.

[Hieronymus]

8. Wonderful, I expected a softball from Gibson.

[eleny]

12. Maybe CG reads DU...

...and self respect kicked in. :rofl:

[DearAbby]

26. EVERYONE expected softballs from Charlie tonight

who the hell didn't, I mean seriously...and she couldn't hold up to that? THIS WAS THEIR PIT BULL????

[Critters2]

32. Of course, for a literate person most of those questions would have been softballs.

This, however, was Sarah Palin!

[cottonseed]

33. They were softballs.

Palin wiffed even those.

[Quixote1818]

10. While I don't care for Christ Matthews, he would have ripped her a new one for that

Charles Gibson was a big softy.

[brooklynite]

11. This was the correspondent who was going to throw softballs?

Can we please get off the "all the MSM are fixing their news reporting to get McCain elected" kick?

[navarth]

18. Maybe for tonight. We'll see about tomorrow.

But Gibson did a good job IMO.

[pampango]

34. Thank you. I didn't see a single post here yesterday that didn't predict that Gibson

wouldn't do everything in his power to make Palin look good. He was portrayed as a RW corporate MSM mouthpiece who would make sure that the interview was a 30 minute infomercial for her.

It is interesting to compare the whether you get more complaining about the MSM from the repubs or DU.

[agentS]

19. So much for friendly territory

Charlie Gibson doesn't throw beanballs, unless it's Barak Obama.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

20. Tonight America saw the unscripted version....

A couple of comments I've read so far that I think are pretty accurate assessments of Moosehead's interview:

Inept, vacuous and arrogant. We hit the trifecta

she makes Bush look deserving of Mt. Rushmore - She's THAT bad

On Gibson's perceived annoyance with her: He's thinking, "I flew all the way up to this sh*thole for this?"


The B*sh Doctrine TRAIN WRECK: http://rawstory.com/rawreplay/?p=1895

This one's my favorite. When Gibson, obviously annoyed with her previous attempts to address his question "Do we have the right to be making cross-border attacks into Pakistan, from Afghanistan, with or without the approval of the Pakistani government?"said:

GIBSON: And let me finish with this. I got lost in a blizzard of words there. Is that a yes, that you think we have the right to go across the border, with or without the approval of the Pakistani government? To go after terrorists who are in the Waziristan area?

And in what is IMHO a sure fire DUzy Winner:

Can we say Apocalypstick Now? This woman is nuts.

[JawJaw]

22. "In..what..respect...Charlie?"

:rofl: :rofl: :dunce: :rofl:

[samuraiguppy]

23. she is finished now

completely neutralized. Overall he did a great job of destroying her, Although I was disappointed that he didn't ask her to name the capital of Buttfuckistan.

[orestes]

24. Actually, thats not a bad idea

except I would have asked her the capital of Russia. After all, someone with her extensive foreign policy experience in dealing with the Russians would have to know that.

[quakerboy]

25. I don't think he was trying to

nor that he meant to. Those were the softballs.

[PresidentObama]

27. Gibson was very hard hitting, and she looked like an IDIOT.

[JI7]

28. Gibson did not ask tough questions

but it was bad just because she is an idiot and ignorant of the issues.

i thought he would mostly ask crap about how she felt about her family and other shit they usually ask celebs .

[eshfemme]

29. It's just sad that not even CHARLIE FUCKING GIBSON could make this woman look good.

OMFG, how incompetent do you have to be? You sequester yourself for 2 weeks cramming like hell and you can't even pull this off. I didn't expect to be so disappointed and yet I am because I had no idea just how fucking stupid Sarah Palin was. I am surprised that I even expected some glimmer of intelligence but apparently I did.

[benjita]

30. Everyone is missing the point

I completely agree that Palin looked like a complete idiot
when she did not know what Gibson was talking about. What I
find interesting is that most media outlets are only covering
her statements on the possibility of war with Russia. While
the headlines are provocative, they only discuss the obvious
fact that if Georgia/ Ukraine were allowed into NATO and
Russia invaded, then we would have to back them. Everyone
knows that! So why cover it? 

Considering that today commemorates 9/11, which was the
catalyst for the Bush doctrine, it's strange that there has
been little to no mention that it was obvious that the
Governor did not know what the Bush Doctrine is.

But instead we get "Palin tough on Russia" and
"Palin says she's ready". When did Palin become the
authority on whether she is ready or not to be VP. Hey NEWS!
How about you report what she said and knows and I will tell
you whether she is ready.

[amborin]

31. DEMS must CALL

ABC news to complain about the way Gibson was TOO easy on her

believe me....


someone posted links to a rethug blog earlier today and rethugs are calling ABC to complain

we must do the same!!!!!!!

there will be more interviews of her
