"The double-standard Gibson applied to Palin, compared with the uncritical media platforms repeatedly offered to Obama, who has had zero executive experience running anything, was especially striking."

ignorance of the Bush Doctrine

A term invented by the media, not by the White House. A term covering a multitude of "doctrines," including GWB's worldview. I'm still not convinced that she was "ignorant" of the Bush Doctrine; she simply didn't want to fall in a trap laid by the kindly professor Gibson.

I saw slimy Lanny Davis on H&C last night, expressing fear that Gov. Palin would go to war over Georgia. In his words, that is frightening.

I guess feeling all warm and fuzzy trumps honoring commitments. If Lanny REALLY feels that way, let's disband NATO. While we're at it, let's disband the UN. You can argue, quite successfully, that more people have been killed under UN auspices, than Vietnam + Iraq.

Martin Sieff calls this one for Palin and suggests that Mr. Gibson is biased, to boot.

Excellent.

-" Tactically, she made the mistake of trying to be friendly and informal with Gibson, who assumed a superior, professorial and critical stance toward her. She would have been far better going on the attack to rattle him."

TRUE!! TRUE!! TRUE!!

Sarah is better when she's on OFFENSIVE mindset. Also... SIT THE HELL 'FURTHER AWAY' FROM THAT CREEP!!!

What's wrong with Republicans? We don't give interviews to Pravda. Why to Charlie Gibson? Or to any of the hard-left POS in the MSM? They're just a bunch of cowardly low-blow artists. If it were me, they'd go begging for interviews.

You did great, Sarah! (But don't do them any more favors.)

What infuriated me wasn’t the fact that Georgie had tossed softballs at 0bama...but the fact that in previous interview with Obama, Gibson’s demeanor was totally different than the way he treated Palin. Sheer hubris on his part!!!!

Gibson is no Tim Russert and it showed.
He’s much more comfortable and in his element doing ayem tv fluff like Good Morning America.

Whatever. I didn’t have a problem with any of the questions. The amateurish tone of the interviewer and the condescending attitude turned me off though.

Sarah handled herself very well. If Joe OBiden was watching, he should be quaking in his boots (Sarah will toast him in the VP debate!)

I think a lot of women, who have experienced condescension by self-important males, will not take kindly to this.

I'm surprised the jerk didn't ask her to spell potato.

ABC is taking this one in the shorts. They even had to pull their comments on the article as they over 1,000 comments almost all were negative.

What the voters are watching is for an over-all impression of the candidate as a positive or negative person. Except for partisan leftists, Sarah Palin comes across as “one of us” (regular people) not “one of them,” (the elites in media). The American people can understand a set-up and a double standard when they see it.

It seemed to me Gibson didn’t know what the Bush Doctrine is, as well. He said it was a doctrine of pre-emptive strikes. The Bush Doctrine was that anyone who tolerates or harbors terrorist is considered a terrorist nation and will be dealt with accordingly.

A local funeral home advertises “Pre-Need Cremation.” This has both amused and perplexed me.

Now I find that B.O. and his dim supporters seem to be subjecting John McCain to pre-need cremation. They’ve as much as announced that McCain will die within the next four years.

On the other hand, I note that McCain’s 96 year old mother is frisky and more articulate than B.O. without a prompter. And McCain has been running hard for two years without raising his heart rate while B.O.seems near exhaustion.

When did Gibson become professorial and who made him the judge of who can be President. He embarrassed himself with his pompus condescending attitude. The half-rim glasses were way over the top.

Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops
