That's a whole lot of dithering on the Pakistan question for someone who says "you can't blink". This is truly scary.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bush Doctrine is a phrase used to describe various related foreign policy principles of United States president George W. Bush, created in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The phrase initially described the policy that the United States had the right to treat countries that harbor or give aid to terrorist groups as terrorists themselves, which was used to justify the invasion of Afghanistan.<1> Later it came to include additional elements, including the controversial policy of preventive war, which held that the United States should depose foreign regimes that represented a threat to the security of the United States, even if that threat was not immediate (used to justify the invasion of Iraq), a policy of supporting democracy around the world, especially in the Middle East, as a strategy for combating the spread of terrorism, and a willingness to pursue U.S. military interests in a unilateral way.<2><3><4> Some of these policies were codified in a National Security Council text entitled the National Security Strategy of the United States published on September 20, 2002.<5>

1. oh please

someone replace her response with miss south carolina's

[ryanmuegge]

3. I like the avatar :)

[d_b]

4. favorite show as a teen

yep, lotta drugs in them days.

[louis c]

2. She doesn't have a clue (NT)

[aquart]

5. War IS the last option, ninny.

She thinks Bushworld is how it's always been.

[Jack Rabbit]

6. She gets an "F"

She doesn't understand the Bush Doctrine. It doesn't matter if she's for it or against it, she has no clue what it is. If she were all for it (which I am not), I would not hold it against her as much if she at least knew what she is talking.

Her other answers convinced me that she's not ready to be president, either.

She may have been a good mayor of Wasila, but that's a part time political job and it doesn't prepare any one to be president.

[katandmoon]

7. "I am Talky Tina and I don't like you, Charlie!"

[Sodbuster]

18. Or she may send him to the corn field....

Many words but not an answer to the question asked what four or five ways...

[ryanmuegge]

8. War as a last option is ABSOLOUTELY not what McCain believes.

LOOK AT HIS GODDAMN WORDS AND HIS RECORD. JUST LOOK AT IT! It's all right there. Somebody who is allowed to speak calls themselves by the corporate lords in media, business, and government call her on this. Please, somebody who plays a "Democrat" on TV bring McCain's view on this stuff up.

Jesus Christ. I'm so tired of this false "terrorism," "defense," and "national security" shit. The real issues are globalization, environment, resources, population, and energy. That's fucking root issue behind these wars. We don't have to "defend" ourselves against anybody. Muslims are no fucking threat. This "defense" shit is such a false pretense that it's infuriating. Everybody in the world is scared to death of us.

[organic produce]

13. I'm a Raider fan too

And I think our problems are way bigger.-)

[ryanmuegge]

16. Cool!

[Cali_Democrat]

9. Frightening

To think this no-nothing idiot could be president some day.

[organic produce]

14. After watching that Gal squirm so much

I seriously doubt we're going to see another *Term* of Rapturists...

[CAG]

10. Wow, she's really an idiot...

[boobooday]

11. Well.

That was certainly lame. She never heard of the Bush Doctrine. That was obvious.

Imagine how clueless she must have been before they started her intensive training.

[organic produce]

12. I feel sorry for her

She is so out of her depth, no wonder the Republicans kept her away from interviews for so long... Maybe Biden is right, give her enough rope...

[LeighAnn]

17. Hard for me to feel sorry for her

Not after how she acted at the convention. She could have pretended to be a nice lady there and not alienated so many who are sympathetic to the left. Instead, she was a spiteful ninny, and endeared herself to right wingers and the media only.

After what she said about community organizers, it's going to be hard for me to feel sorry for her as this just gets worse and worse for her.

She does look about horrified, though, as she repeats her talking points to reassure her right-wing sheeple. "Radical Islam blah blah blah..." That's all the right-wing needs to hear. Smart people understand that she's not only not answering the questions, she doesn't understand them.

[organic produce]

23. How did she even make Mayor?

I feel sorry for her in as much as I think she and many women will eventually (slow train fer shure) come to realize that she is being *used* and exploited to further a sick agenda... It will get a lot worse for her and MaCain in the coming weeks.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

43. She reminds me of a used car salesman. n/t

[gratefultobelib]

28. I don't feel one bit sorry for her.

[BREMPRO]

15. WOooah....she's WAAY out of her element, only had vague bushspeak as a foil.

kudos to smarmy upchuck gibson for pressing the question

[mcg]

46. Yep, in way over her head, I almost feel sorry for her. nt

[safeinOhio]

19. On to an economic question, Sarah

what is your view of Keynesianism?

This should be fun from now on.

[johan]

20. so funny

You can tell from her facial expressions that shes in the deep end of the pool and her feet are not touching the ground and she aint a swimmer.

[pauldg0]

39. I think she can still fool a stupid republican or independent.......

...who does not read the blogs or the newspaper. Obama has to find a way to crack open and educate the morons (excuse me for talking like this. I just can't find a way to be nice.) out there.....I don't know....I think she is still scary.

Obama seems to be using the tortoise and the hare approach and just laughing her off. He is shaking me up right now. When is he going to start slamming these repuks out there.

Can anybody calm me down?

[Jade Fox]

21. It's really creepy the way she keeps saying his name.....

That's a technique to create an atmosphere of intimacy, but jesus is she overdoing it!!

I don't think Gibson was very impressed with her.

[ksimons]

22. another Republican who won't say 'yes' or 'no'

I think they should hook all major politicians up to lie detectors and make them answer yes or no questions about the policy views. So sick of these 'maybe yes' and 'maybe no' questions. Besides, while she's hooked up, the rapture might begin - or at least the television reception in Alaska would improve.

Oh, and by the way, I can see Mexico from where I live. Suddenly I'm a foreign affairs genius about Mexico, let alone the world. Smell me!

[VaginaAmerican]

24. I'm actually impressed with Charlie for not taking her bait...

He looked irritated that he had to feed it to her and her lack of a yes or no in her "sea of words"- ... If this doesn't motivate more people to prevent her from gracing the door of the White House (even on the tour) I just do not know what will...SCARY!!!

[hay rick]

25. Her first instinct is to bluff.

"We must not blink, Charley." She doesn't understand the question so she starts lecturing the interviewer. Nasty girl.

[subterranean]

26. Sounded like she was just repeating phrases she has memorized

in the last few days.

Must stop the terrorists who are HELL-BENT on destroying America and our allies...all options on the table...must not blink!

[Jack Rabbit]

27. Yes

I looks like in days of yore the talented Miss Heath did not take an interest in drama.

She sounded little different in the clip than in the other clip of her reading the sports report for an Alaska TV station.

[masshole]

29. Holy shit there must have been 5 edits in that exchange

WTF? I'd LOVE to see the raw footage

[angstlessk]

30. for some reason I cannot do a word cloud..has anyone done it with the transcript?

I would love to see it!

[quiet.american]

37. Off the cuff, I can tell you two of the biggest words, "TERR'A'IST! HELLBENT!" nt

[MuscleBear]

31. OMG OMG OMG

She's clueless. But what bothered me most was when she said 'Charlie', throughout the interview.

Reminded me of this youtube ditty

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPONTneuaF4

which is equally as annoying.

[whistle]

32. Pretty clear to me, Sarah is wacko!

[no limit]

33. This was highly edited, is there a full unedited version anywhere?

[Cirque du So-What]

34. Fifth frickin' rec!

I'll gladly send this hideous excerpt to the greatest page for greater exposure to the world, whose citizens deserve better than schizophrenic 'word salad' from presumptive world leaders.

[lumpy]

35. She did a pretty good job of winging a question that she

obviously knew nothing about, just like any other foxy talker. She appeared to be taken aback and fumbled a little bit there; I could almost read her mind. Bush is unknowledgable but at least he had some experience in the broader political world. She just doesn't have what it takes to keep up a sustainable front. God help us if she ever gets to a position of power in the greater US.

[L. Coyote]

50. "Why is Charlie Gibson behaving like such as ass? "

The freepers have a big problem admitting their candidate is McLame.

LOL funny stuff: http://www.volokh.com/posts/1221175705.shtml

"... the result of really bad coaching"

"Charlie Gibson never asked these questions of Obama."

Crunchy Frog: "At some point it's a wonder she didn't flat out tell Gibson, "Asked and answered, Douchebag. Next?""

"To me it sounded like a trick question ... The "Bush Doctrine" can mean anything to the MSM"

"Why Gibson and the media in general haven't you gone after Obama in the same way?"

"...no one is defending her everyone is attacking the questions"

"The "Bush Doctrine" question was a gotcha question. It means different things to different people. I get asked those questions all the time."

"She did reasonably well. But Gibson asked her some stupid "gotcha" questions..."

[Gregorian]

36. I just watch this, and looked over at the tv. The BBC is playing it right now!

I can't help it. And I know there's nothing funny about burkas, but there's got to be a burka joke in here somewhere. What's pale and isn't wearing a burka? Sheesh.

Is she just as extremist as those whom she is threatening?

[organic]

38. David Gergen's Commentary on Anderson Cooper Just Now...

...gave her a pass claiming neither he or his other reporter cronys know exactly what The Bush Doctrine is and even if they did have a clue, they never refer to it as such and certainly the average American citizen doesn't know. Hello? Neither are running for VP of TheU.S.! Shouldn't her handlers have at least given her that Wikipedia link along with the rest of her cliff notes?

[whistle]

40. I can visualize Sarah Palin seeing herself as Sandra Bullock in the movie Speed

...getting to drive the bus with the bomb that blows up and being handcuffed to the subway train that destructs ending up being saved by some American hero which she will reward in the end while the country becomes the wreckage.

[Fridays Child]

41. She DID NOT KNOW what the Bush Doctrine is.

H.F.S

[harun]

45. She didn't have a clue what it was.

[jefferson_dem]

42. That's fucking frightening.

This woman is simply not equipped to serve as VP. Period. Anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or a liar.

[harun]

44. LOL, that is the most telling clip I have seen on her complete lack of a CLUE (n/t)

[Botany]

47. She doesn't even know that al Qaeda & the Taliban is now located in Pakistan

OMG she is clueless.

[stckyfngz]

48. re: Sarah (Deer In The Headlights) Palin on The Bush Doctrine

not surprising

[L. Coyote]

49. That's "Moose in the headlights"

Apparently, almost anyone on DU or dKos is more qualified than Palin!
