I just came back from visiting my 88 year old mother (who just had her second knee replacement) and she is so excited about Palin. I talked to one of her friends, an 89 year old WWII Vet, and he too is now excited and believes McCain will indeed win it. We all agreed that the media is out to destroy Palin but their efforts are backfiring. And, old people vote.
I’ll watch FNS and Reliable Sources and report as I can. MTP although still number one in the numbers game is boring as ever. Brokaw doesn’t do his homework like Russert used to and he just doesn’t seem all that interested in doing the show.
I hope to hear lots of talk about how Charlie Gibson gave a false representation of his Palin interview; Charlie has joined the ranks of the propagandists. Hopefully Reliable Sources will report on that (but....Kurtz is part of the good old boy network and will probably protect and defend his liberal buddy Charlie).
MIL told me she sat and watched the 20/20 interview of Palin and Gibson. She said that she wanted to scream every time Sarah said “Charlie”...which I think was a bit much myself, however minor.
So I did, yes I did, slid my glasses down my nose just like Charlie and pretended that she (mil) was Sarah Palin.
In my best imitation of that ugly anchor guy I kept those glasses down on my nose and pretended to ask MIL really stupid, lying and mis-phrased questions.
Charles Gibson would never, his teenaged pimple-faced self, ever have gotten a date with a Sarah Palin in his adolescent agony days. So he must slide his glasses down his nose haughtily and circle his foot during an interview, actions I thought were quite over the top and not at all actions of one with gravitas.
I did make her laff with my Gibson imitation.
Heh.
Wallace just promoed the next segmant: Sarah Palin just had her first ... interview and lived to tell the tale.
Am I being too sensitive, or were those words unnecessary and rude?
Brit said but the Gibson wasn't on his game and he much more of a professional than he came across as in his questioning.
