First on TVNewser: Insiders tell us the first Charlie Gibson/Sarah Palin interview is complete. The first sit-down lasted 30 minutes and included questions about energy independence, foreign affairs and whether Gov. Palin is ready to be Vice President. "Absolutely," is her response. When asked if she is ready to step in and be president of the United States. Palin answers, "You bet."
We're told Gibson asked for two extra minutes and used it to ask Palin whether she agrees with the "Bush Doctrine." Among Palin's responses:
• "The top priority is to defend the United States of America. I know that John McCain would do that."
• "With new leadership comes opportunity to do things better."
• "War has got to be a last option."
• "If a strike is imminent we have every right to defend our country...and that's what a McCain/Palin administration would do."
• "In order to stop Islamic extremists we must do whatever it takes. We must not blink, Charlie."
Something tells me I'll be seeing this line again, but I'll say it anyway...Brilliant!
another Brilliant observation.....with the caveat...perhaps, just perhaps, neither do the Repubs! McCain, in his first Presidential decision, appears to have found the needle in the conservative haystack.
Great catch...I saw it on TV the other day and couldn't remember her exact words...Gibson posed a typical liberal strawman, she responded appropriately "not my words", he said "your words" unequivocally....Pretty much puts Gibson squarely in the Kos Kids lap!
Hmmmm, is this what you meant "Liberals are afraid of her because she's more sophisticated than Obama, who's supposed to know everything but apparently only when the teleprompter is working. " Yep, that's it.
The great thing about Republican administrations is that there’s no need for focus groups...
ABC, like DU, is a leftie playground...why bother fretting over something you can’t control?
“To go over to the ABC blog and engage those idiots would be like trying to teach a cow not to sh*t on the barn floor. A complete waste of time...” Well said
Rather and Gibson....great mental picture!
First thing Gov. Palin should have said when she sat down with Charlie is you’re voting for Obama right...

This is one of a few vids that really gets the full context right.

Thank you kindly!
The only question Charlie forgot to ask was: “when did you last beat your wife?”....oh wait, she is a wife, never mind.
“Thank you kindly!”
You’re very welcome. Always a pleasure to help keep a fellow FReeper armed with information to do battle with the whackjobs.
Perhaps I am being a bit overly dramatic here, but Gov. Palin’s quote of “we must not blink, Charlie” is an simply stated compressed verision of this:
“If, however, there is to be a war of nerves let us make sure our nerves are strong and are fortified by the deepest convictions of our hearts.”
-Winston Churchill
