EXCELLENT catch.

Someone has to make a Youtube video contrasting these two interviews!

So glad you guys posted these interviews. It’s all feelings questions when it comes to the Dems. I darn well knew he wasn’t asking any of them hard questions.

ABC, NBC CBS,CNN and the others have a long list of leftist loons to replace the leftist loons they have to take off because of public pressure, so what’s the difference from one leftist loon to another?

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.


Bam.
Krauthammer was all over this:

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

A fellow FREEPer made the fair point that this was not a fair comparison. An apples-to-apples comparison is Palin vs. Edwards being interviewed shortly after they were picked as VP nominees. I think they’re equally revealing, and damning.

It was the longest, "Who's the president of Belarus?" question in the world.

The difference between the two interviews is fundamental. Edwards didn’t have a chance of winning and Palin does. The interview with Edwards was nothing more than pleasantries and inconsequetial drivel.

Palin represents a view that is unwelcome in liberal circles and is a demonstration of the philosophy of mainstream America. Her refferals to the will of the people of the state of Alaska were awesome. Obama and his ilk have long forgotten those whom they are to represent.

Very good work! I would love to see a video (no sound needed) showing Gibson’s facial expressions and body language in the two interviews. Something tells me that would be a comparison as well.

You’re right - they don’t play “gotcha” with dems...

The best part of this is Palin handles it so well. May we say, “Gravitas?”
