I was calling charlie bad names throughout the interview. The whole interview was on whatever the Friday night news magazine show is, and the question about her qualifications was NOT the first out of the box.

I saw a cnn 1-hour special about Sarah last night, and it was MUCH more even-handed. Wow, talk about things I never thought I'd say. Even though they tried to slime her, they didn't make too much progress.

No offense meant Dorothy regarding your contact lens situation. In my face to face dealings with those that wear reading specs I have sensed a ‘snobbish’ aire. I’ll stick with my bi-focals and use my words to exhibit any needed snobbishnes and condescension and not rely on the non-verbal cues which may or may not present the right degree of aire.

My opinion may make me an idiot in the eyes of a few, but Gibson confirmed his snobbish status on the tube in front of millions.

"professorial"?

No.
Oh, NOOOoooooooooo, Grasshopper.

Trust me, the "professorial" type is a life-form lower than the worm. In fact they are more akin to that stuff you have to scrape off your shoe after a walk in the dog park.

I dealt with them for decades and trust me, they look down on anyone that actually works with their hands, don't believe as they do, or are from "the wrong place"....

To know them is to despise them...

They don’t have time and the ballots are either printed or in the process of being printed — some states shortly will start early/absentee voting. They would have to go to court in all states and there is not enough time.

Switch is not going to happen plus Hillary would not take a chance of the ticket losing with her on it — she is now looking to 2012 and forget about Obama.

The more I think on it, the more I see “Charlie’s” attempted hatchet job on Governor Palin as outrageous, and deserving of any limits imaginable placed on the snotty, snobby, elitist, irresponsible MSM by McCain. It was not smart. Access and public respect is everything to the media. They now have neither. - Governor Palin is the tiger that both the lamestream media AND the “Obamassiah” have by the tail; they want to let that tiger go, but they are caught in the whirlwind of the tiger’s strength, and they cannot get loose.

One can see how stupid Gibson truly is...first off, he has NO fear of The Lord...second...he has not a clue the dangers of coming against unfairly one of The Lord’s.

Has ANYONE in the media EVER accused Obama of hubris? EVER?

The closest would be when Obama was planning to speak at the Brandenburg Gate. Some were saying that only presidents do that, and Obama was starting to act like he was already president.

Dorothy,

“Charlie” didn’t use his reading glasses to silently scold
“The Barackstar”. No hard questions . . just questions like, “What did your grandmother think?”, “Where did you meet Michelle?” “ What do your kids think?” “Boxers or Briefs, Senator?” “Did you think, I’ve pulled it off!” “Pardon me for asking, Senator,and don’t feel like I’m pressing, but what now for Hillary? Possible VP? but don’t answer unless you really, really want to, Senator?”
Smile . . Smile . . no glasses . . no questions about HIS radical preacher’s hatred of the UKKKSofA . . no questions about his much ballyhooed RESULTS during his “community organizer (or is it agitator?) days. We’ll certainly never know much when it comes to the “UH-BAMA” . no questions about his involvement with the Chicago machine and Rezko . . or Ayers . . or Saul Alinsky hero worship (Hillary’s hero, too). No questions about HIS foreign policy experience (remember O’s whirlwind trip last month and haste to set his foot in every country possible for photo-ops with world leaders who look puzzled as to “who IS this guy”.) I’m sure all this “world travel” will regale our television watching schedule soon.

I’ll vote for a competent black man IF he ever runs. “O” would be incompetent no matter what color he was, and I’m not voting for someone just to try to prove I’m not prejudiced. “Charlie” saved his condescending reading glasses affectation for Sarah, and HE was the one who came off looking like “Ned in the First Reader”, not Governor Palin.

Charlie “Goon” Gibson made me really angry at him.

I believe you are right.

Looking down one's nose at someone in any fashion is VERY condescending.

Nah.

It's easy to tell blindness from smugness, IMHO.

From the outset, it was clear that Gibson planned to paint her as completely inept and unqualified. The very first question, asking Palin if she hesitated when McCain offered her a spot on the ticket, dripped with condescension. Here was Gibson, looking professorial with his glasses down at the end of his nose, eyebrow cocked, as if to portray her as a liar, or so self-assured as to be arrogant. But Palin handled it quite well, explaining that if she felt she could benefit McCain and be of service to our nation, there was no need to hesitate.
Given the Democratic presidential nominee's lack of any executive track record at all, the only question would be whether she would be able to help the Republican nominee win. So the proper answer to the question is, "Am I more able to be president than John McCain is? Probably not. Am I as well prepared as Barak Obama is? I certainly think so."
