Allahpundit at Hotair and most of the folks at the Corner were anything from appalled to disappointed at Palin’s performance. I didn’t see it, but these folks have been on the ball quite a bit. To those who saw it are AllahP and the Corner on targt?

She answered his very tough questions directly and without hesitation. I don't know how she could have done any better.

The body language was interesting. She leaned in further as the interview went on and he leaned back. It looked like Charlie was getting uncomfortable.

Judging by this one video, the only time she appeared to stumble was Gibson asking about the “Bush Doctrine”, I don’t think she knew what he meant (and I didn’t either, as I’ve never used the term).

Some of his questions are a little goofy (”does the U.S. have the right to make cross-border attacks on Pakastani soil without their permission blah blah blah”). Palin properly answered in more general terms, along the lines that the U.S. has the right to take any reasonable steps it needs to pursue critical national security interests.

Are they disappointed in Palin or Gibsons condescension?

I haven't read Allahpundit but the Corner isn't anything like you describe. Sure, there are some negatives in the interview, but her poise will win the day -- not with liberals of course -- but they weren't going to vote for her anyway.

Governor Palin got the cold, hard, condescending treatment from Gibson; like he was talking down his bespectacled nose at a little girl. - However, Sarah Palin does not suffer fools gladly. She made old Charlie look like Ned in the First Reader at every turn. - This is a sharp woman who knows a lot to begin with, but also has enough sense to gather the best, most knowledgable people around her in any event. . she does not blink, and she does her homework.

Old Joe is quaking in his boots. It’s about time he bows out with some malady or sudden need to “spend more time with his wife” or something. She does not suffer bloviating people gladly either, although she is courteous at least. Even IF Hillary would stoop to take the spot of VP now, which I doubt, she would just look like Obama was saying “ME TOO!” I CARE about wimmin, too! SEE! LOOKEE HERE!”

The extent of the drive-by’s “tough questions” for Barack Obama have been softball and “boxer or brief?” sort of subjects with total gullibility. If anyone had wondered before about the bias and disrespect of those arrogant men, they no longer do. Watch the polls.
