You’re on a roll today. Gibson is going to look like a fool by the end of the weekend.

Gibson. You’re busted.

The two links have been forwarded to Drudge, Limbaugh, FoxNews (O’Reilly) and others.

See you next week.

We must force Gibson to demonstrate some ‘fairness doctrine’ with Obama.

Great comparison — Gibson wasn’t worried in the least about the Breck Girl’s resume and qualifications — and the Breck Girl has/had even less political experience than Obambi.

Don’t count on it. Here’s what Gibson would typically say to Obama: “How can I ask you a question that woul allow you to answer it by effectively attacking your opponents?”

Of course the first question was asked off camera of Edwards:

GIBSON: Senator, do you mind if I plant my nose firmly in your backside while I conduct this interview?"

Wow! A very powerful post.

I beg you to also include the side by side comparison with the Obamo interviews he has done.

The reason Gibson asked Gov. Palin so many questions, is that he kept asking the same ones over and over, trying to get the answer he wanted. And because he kept getting the same answer, he was unable to use his followup “gotcha” questions.
Good job Gov. Palin!

The Bush Doctrine and the Palin Performance [Cliff May]

.........

But ask yourself: How would a real foreign policy sophisticate have replied to Gibson’s question?

Well, Anne-Marie Slaughter is the dean of the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton. She was interviewed by Alan Johnson, for a book titled: “Global Politics After 9/11: The Democratiya Interviews.”

Here’s how the exchange begins:

Johnson: What are the central differences, and what are the elements of continuity, if any exist, between ‘the Bush doctrine’ and the ‘grand strategy of forging a world of liberty under law’?

Slaughter: Tell me what you mean by ‘The Bush Doctrine’.

In other words, Dean Slaughter gave the same answer as did Palin.

The media is effectively being exposed as being biased in favor of Democrats. The Sarah Palin nomination has neutered the press.

I say Gibson should be fired.

Gibson: Sen. Edwards, what is the secret to your beautiful hair.

Edwards: Charlie, Lather, rinse and repeat, ALWAYS repeat.

Gibson: Thank you Senator. My leg is feeling awfully tingely

The one you did yesterday is more telling. Here’s your list on Gibson “interviewing” Obama:

Charlie Gibson’s Questions to Obama vs. Questions to Palin

ABC News

Charles Gibson Interviews Barack Obama

Presumptive Democratic Presidential Nominee

June 4, 2008 (after Hillary Clinton concedes)

http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=5000184

GIBSON: Senator, I’m curious about your feelings last

night. It was an historic moment. Has it sunk in yet?

GIBSON: What did your grandmother say?

GIBSON: Public moments are not your own. There’s a million people pulling you in a million different directions, but when everybody clears out, the staff is gone, you’re in your hotel room at night and you’re alone — do you say to yourself: “Son of a gun, I’ve done this?”

GIBSON: (inaudible) when you announced, did you truly, in your gut, think that a black man could win the nomination of a major party to be president of the United States? GIBSON: You don’t get much time to enjoy this before people immediately start talking about the vice presidency.

GIBSON: But there obviously is one name that looms over all. Hillary Clinton has already, to some extent, expressed her willingness. There are supporters putting out petitions. There is a drumbeat of pressure. There are those 18 million votes.

Is she a special case that you have to deal with before the others, or is she considered just like everybody else? How long can you let the “Hillary Clinton on the ticket” question linger?

GIBSON: Does there have to be a yes or no on the issue of Hillary Clinton before you get to the others, or can this issue linger on, because it pervades everything? You want to move on to the general election. You want to pivot to a campaign against John McCain. Can you do that while this question hovers over you?

GIBSON: So, you won’t do — you won’t deal with her first, get that out of the way, and then either move on or not?

GIBSON: As long as that question lingers, can you get about the business of unifying the party, or does that have to be taken care of first?

GIBSON: Did she squeeze you in any way by making known her interest in the job?

GIBSON: Should you choose her, how do you handle Bill Clinton?

GIBSON: On what three issues will this campaign turn to you?

GIBSON: Do you worry that it could turn on race, age and class?

GIBSON: John McCain has issued an invitation to do a series of town meetings (inaudible). Going to do it?

GIBSON: Will you go to Iraq?

GIBSON: Public financing: Going to take it or going to say no?

GIBSON: But there’s a dynamic on your side, as well. You originally said you would take it.

GIBSON: That was before we saw a...

GIBSON: If you already see that money coming in, it seems to me you’re saying...

GIBSON: Is the hardest part of all this behind you or ahead of you?

GIBSON: The picture of you in the paper, this morning, with your wife, watching the Clinton speech. What did you think of the Clinton speech? She didn’t exactly acknowledge your victory.

GIBSON: And finally your daughters. What did they say to you? Did they take it as a matter of course that Daddy could be nominated to be president? They never knew what older people know in terms of discrimination, although they may still feel some. What did they say about that?

GIBSON: I watched closely your countenance last night, your mien, as you stood in that hall. You didn’t smile much. Has the joyfulness of this hit home yet? Do you take joy from it?

GIBSON: Senator, thank you.
