You can see the whole Palin interview from here! At the end of this part it will prompt you to "click here" for part two and so on!
I must say, I think she did a good job!
Keep in mind that this interview was edited by ABC so we don't know what we are missing or how the over all feel of the interview was changed!

YouTube - Sarah Palin ABC Interview Charles Gibson

[JMS]

Apparently there is more but they don't seem to be linked to the first four parts and I would have to upload those separately! As I am to tired you'll just have to find the rest on your own!

But she appeared ignorant of the Bush doctrine. It takes more than a pretty face to run a country. If McCain will be elected we should send mass prayers to heaven he does not kick the bucket within 4 years.

Only Bush hatters liberals know what the "Bush Doctrine" is.

The video clip was "conveniently" clipped to smear some of her answers, I wouldn't waste my time watching a dishonest interview by Gibson.

"The exchange between Palin and ABC’s Charlie Gibson, in which she questioned the accuracy of the quote attributed to her, was edited out of the television broadcast but included in official, unedited transcripts posted on ABC’s Web site, as well as in video posted on the Internet.

Yeah, why waste your time trying to figure it out for your self when you can rely on someone else to do the work for you. </sarcasm> This is the whole problem IMHO. Folks buy what they sell from either side of the isle and then blame it on Bush/Obama "hatters" (sic) rather than working to find a better source for news (yes, they are out there!) My wife and I get the New York Times, The Washington Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. IMHO, the Economist and the Journal take the cake.

Know your opponents and you will be successful in politics!

Do you guys have time for anything else but reading papers?

[sicboater]

We don't have/want cable. We read a lot anyway. It doesn't seem to get in the way of our lives. We also get The New Yorker.

Gee, do you think we can set the bar a little lower? Maybe we can have her come out and do the macarena, which we can use to declare her totally fit for the job?

I like the comments. The Bush Doctrine question was "planted?" The interview was "cut" to make her look worse? (What would prevent them from cutting it to make her look better, and can you prove that's not what they did?) It's those nasty liberal newspeople again.

So far, this campaign has been mostly characterized by "conservatives" whining and complaining about what victims they are. That'll inspire the American people, to be sure.

The Bush Doctrine is only the central, most important philosophical divergence that this administration has made from previous policy. Yeah, I've heard of it. A few hundred thousand of our troops have heard of it, too. And anybody who takes over the executive branch of our government had better be familiar with it, too. This woman's lack of basic curiosity about anything that happens "Outside" Alaska would be laughable if it weren't so serious.

Sarah Palin has denied all sorts of things that have proven to be accurate in the first place.

1. She denied supporting the "Bridge to Nowhere," even though it has been proven categorically that she supported it. She has continued to tell this lie at every campaign stop.
2. She denied knowing that her little town actually charged rape victims for their rape tests, when it's been proven that she actually signed the order for it. As far as I know, she's still lying about this one, too.
3. She denied using her executive power to punish her ex-brother-in-law, even though a judge admonished her for her behavior, declaring it to be "abusive" to her sister's children.

And it goes on.

The point? That Sarah Palin claiming to be "misquoted" isn't necessarily newsworthy.

And at what point does the sleaze become too much even for "conservatives?"

I did not start this thread so that you guys could use it as a platform to get into a silly slapping contest, but more as an opportunity for all to see the interview and make intelligent comments!
Please keep this a thread where you will post honest and thoughtful comments and if you disagree with another poster, please do it agreeably!


Thanks,
The management!

[hoglahoo]

Gibson seemed to warm up to Palin near the end. I wonder why?

[foundlingofdollar]

I'm not really a Palin fan, but I think regardless of what you think of her, you can probably agree that the McCain/Palin campaign needs to spend some more time prepping for these questions they're obviously going to get. Some of these answers just showed a total lack of prep time. Being able to see an uninhabited Russian island from a barely inhabited Alaskan island hardly counts as foreign policy experience, especially if right afterwards you admit to never having met a foreign leader and only recently getting a passport. Surely it would have been better to tout McCain's foreign experience than leading with that? It is, after all a two person ticket.

Palin's press availability will be next to nil.

I agree. Originally I was intrigued by her, but now I'm thinking that she's just another in a long line of unqualified people. Oh well.
