Sarah Palin Interview

She was awful.  But I suppose her fans will makes more excuses and blame Charlie Gibson.


 


Gibson asked the questions she should already know the answers to, viewpoints that she should have already had long before being groomed by the McCain team.  To suggest that Gibson was purposefully rude or condescending is absurd – he was easy on her. He asked questions that Americans want and need to know their public officials- especially the second in command- know before taking oath.  Any frustration he might have experienced during this interview was because of her clear lack of familiarity with really important issues.  She tried to evade the questions, which will unavoidably lead a journalist to keep trying to get an answer. that's what they do!  She got defensive when he asked her if she had ever met a Head of State.


 


Was he supposed to ask her where she bought her shoes?  Or “what’s it like to be a pistol-packin hockey mom?”


 


Sarah Palin needs to learn the pronunciation of “nuclear”.  I believe we have just witnessed "Apocalipstick Now". Sarah Palin came across as both clueless and arrogant.  The party is over, the confetti is gone.  Since she’s so adamant about being “ready” to help lead the country she needs to get real.

What makes her seem more "real" than anyone else? Like most politicians,

*****How disconnected she and McCain are from their children, that they would willingly send them off to fight unnecessary wars. Or maybe they are just so out of touch and delusional that they really believe that the unnecessary war, even in light of all of the overwhelming evidence that it IS in deed unnecessary and based on lies, should be fought. Awful and delusional.


Does this apply to all people whose children join the service and serve in Iraq? You do know that to join the military you must be 18 and do it voluntarily? I am surprised that no one else found this statement so condescending. There are posters

Now, remember Obama can dance pretty well himself.

It doesn't really matter if Palin knows anything about foreign policy or any policy, for that matter.

DH is back from work (now I'm at my office), but in our quick exchange he related that she didn't seem to grasp the question Gibson asked about Bush's preemptive war doctrine.

Does it bother you that she didn't know the answers to some of Gibson's questions?

Very truthfully, I was interested in her but now she scares the devil out of me. I don't know if she thought of exactly what she was saying but those were very big words....

During the primary I was all over this board as a Clinton supporter and I believe that sexism and double standards were allowed to go largely

Do you even know who Joe Biden is? Other than Obama's running mate? Of course Charlie Gibson doesn't have to ask Joe Biden the same questions as Sarah Palin - he already knows where Joe Biden stands - the man has a track record. Sarah Palin on the other hand does not. For crying out loud my children know what the Bush Doctrine is! She has not faced difficult questions yet - she is running to become Vice President - do you think there is a 'How to be a Vice President for Dummies' book? No there is not, although Dan Quayle may have started one just for her.

I just can't get over how people think she should be treated with kid gloves nor can I understand at what point being a Hockey Mom became part of the career track for Vice President! Honestly I sometimes wonder what world is coming to.
