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?â€
Sarah Palin needs to learn the pronunciation of “nuclearâ€. 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.

Well I do believe you just answered my question. Specificity would require more time than I have time for - I think most, but obviously not you, know exactly what I meant.
No McCain, No Plain, No Way.
**Out of all of the options available to the US BEFORE declaring war on another country, the first word out of Sarah's mouth was WAR. OMG!!! Palin = McCain = Bush43. The last thing that I expected to hear out of her mouth, after her son deployed, was fight, fight, fight!!!
How disconnected she and McCain are from their children, that they would willingly send them off to fight unnecessary wars.**
Oh brother, so dramatic....she said
*** Specificity would require more time than I have time for
LOL! It's not surprising that you're an Obama supporter...apparently "hope and change" is all that's needed to convince you. I tend to like a little more..."specificity." ; )
Are you kidding?
You are citing UPI for right wing propaganda. What else would you expect them to write? " In 2000 UPI was purchased by News World Communications, a media company owned by Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church". " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upi
Here is the truth, as opposed to the propaganda you cite:
Palin didn't know what the Bush Doctrine is. This is the doctrine which says America is entitled to launch a preemptive strike in the face of an imminent threat and by which Bush justified our war with Iraq. It is the doctrine which defines our foreign policy. Palin has no idea what it is. This is very scary.
She said there are other VP candidates who never met a head of state like her before they took office. Wrong again.
She said we should let Georgia and the Ukraine join NATO so that if Russia attacked them we might have to go to war. Do you want to go to war over the country of Georgia? I certainly don't. Sure the Georgian's may be nice people. But what business do we have putting our necks on the line against a nuclear power over a country like Georgia that has little relevance to us in world trade or politics? Can you explain this? My gosh, remember how much flack Obama took for suggesting we should actually go after bin Ladin even if he is in Pakistan? And how does she then go on to say, maybe we should just impose economic sanctions instead and thereby destroy the integrity of the NATO alliance.
And what did Palin mean by Alaska's proximity to Russia?:
"Well, I'm giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relations with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relations with our allies, pressuring also, helping us to remind Russia that it is their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along."
By the way, here is what the Murdoch-twin Moon said about his UPI:
"UPI was purchased in 2000 by Sun Myung Moon's global media conglomerate News World Communications, becoming an addition to the Unification Church media portfolio. At the time Moon said:
"We even have to utilize the media for the sake of church development. The church is the mind and the media is the body, to reach the external world. We should begin that movement and activity in the United States, because the Washington Times and UPI are headquartered there. Once we establish our organization in the United States, it can be expanded to the world without much alteration."" (same link)
