Gibson Interviews Palin on ABC 09/11/08

It's funny to think if Obama (hypothetically) gave the very answers Palin gave, his fans would praise every word of it. Charlie Gibson might pause, smile, and nod a bit more as he spoke.

I`ll vote for her,she`d be so pretty in the white house,she`d make our country so beautiful.

YES! Because of her son and all the military men and women is the reason you are able today to speek as freely as you do! You should show some respect our military whether you agree with it or not!

People worry about theocratic Iran having nukes yet we got this Christian Taliban nutjob with a hand on a button, if elected. The last time we heard this "task from God" crap it was Hitler "acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator". He also wrote: "And so, internally armed with faith in the goodness of God and THE IMPENETRABLE STUPIDITY OF THE ELECTORATE,the struggle for what is called 'the reconstruction of the Reich' can now begin."Sounds like US fascist neo-cons' motto.

Check the video of Palin talking to her church. She is not saying or paraphrasing what Lincoln said. He said we should pray that our actions are inline with God's will. She said (paraphrasing) that the US soldiers are on a task from God. Scary to have a Govenor and a VP candidate (of the entire United State!) who can state such a thing in 2008.

Gibson, you're a fucking pussy! Way to ask the tough questions.  You asshole!!!

[scandalsabound]

You know what? Charlie probably feels so strongly that she is not qualified, he had a difficult time suppressing it. As a reporter, he should try his best to hide that distain, but he's only human. Maybe a reporter from Fox News would have conducted an interview to your expectations?

Gibson is qualified for his job, unlike your precious hockey mom that would go to war with a Nuclear Power over a tiny breakaway state like Russia, that means nothing to America.

To CindyFahy: I completely disagree with you. Gibson was fair and courteous by any standard. Palin is the one who was on edge and showing signs of extreme discomfort.  And it is no wonder. She is out of her league here. She didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was! She could not address the quesions asked in an intelligent manner. Her answers were off the mark and flawed. Also... very sad to see her cashing in on her son's noble deployment as a campaign asset. Her actions speak.

Charles Gibson, in over 25 years of enjoying your broadcast demeanor, I have never seen you so visibly uncomfortable, so angry. You barely contained your disdain for Gov. Palin evidenced by your inability to look her in the eye, your rapid-fire questions designed to ferret out the slightest inconsistency. You have interviewed criminals with greater diplomacy and simple good manners than you afforded Gov. Palin. Unfortunately, you sir, have fallen in the polls as a result, not the Governor.
