Sarah Palin & the Bush Doctrine. She Doesn't Know What it is? So What!

[MultiContrarian]

are these idiots serious?

[jeiger]

FAUX News...The righter of all wrongs!

[thetrueprometheus]

I'm not even an American I know what Bush Doctrine is...

LMAO @ Palin, she's an educationally subnormal imbecile...

[xdeliriumx1]

ya the person running for office should know what the Bush doctrine is period! NO EXCUSES

[TheBackOfTheBoat]

don't give this video a low rating; it's anti-fox, not pro-fox.

[kachhadiyakachhadiya]

its a trick question haha...there is not any BUSH DOCTRINE

[QuinnC92]

This is what low school funding has done. This poor soul has no idea how to speak english, let alone interpret what the "Bush Doctrine" is.

I pity you, hopefully you get some help soon.

[kachhadiyakachhadiya]

just for ur information..I am in principal's honors list...perfect GPA

swear to god

(@QuinnC92)

[QuinnC92]

Lol.... Im sure you have a perfect GPA... Maybe if your in the first grade?

[mazinori17]

it's obvious that none of you even attempted to look up the bush doctrine before you wrote these comments and began bashing fox news and sarah palin

but charles gibson's "understanding" of the bush doctrine was incorrect--and even if he were referring to the correct document--his question was vague.

just too bad that when obama made mistakes the media covered up his tracks

this election was like a beauty pageant

voting for a title, not for change

i hope he knows what to do with that crown

[hugBitCH]

Yeah the transition team doesn't seem to be doing too well at this point

[sirenitaurbana]

OMG these guys are just such asses! it's unbelieveable...

this woman has no idea of ANYTHING

[XxHikariKazexX]

why do i get the feeling that if 90% of Americans were running for office they would know what the Bush Doctrine is...

[blazing321]

Thats like a surgeon getting sued for malpractice and his lawyer arguing; "Well who knows what a cardiac bypass is anyway"

[scorpion990]

Fox News is the biggest load of shit on TV. It's worse than all of those reality shows put together. They're a bunch of ****ing extremists.

[totpckg]

This is no excuse. I didnt know what the "Bush Doctrine" is. BUT I AM NOT RUNNING FOR THE 2ND HIGHEST OFFICE IN THIS COUNTRY!! THIS IS HER JOB!! Instead she chose to BS her way through the answer.

[pushover1]

exactly... and she even got exasperated at Charlie... it would be hilarious, if it weren't so scary!

[kgarmaker123]

@totpckg Yes hear Hear, she was not 90 percent of the American people.. she needs to be more knowledgeable. and man.. I am glad I heard this.. and heard Romney defending her.. stupid.

[mitchellmiami]

GOTCHYA QUESTION? How the fuck is asking whether or not she agrees with somthing, pretty much just her opinion a "gotchya"? So is everything she doesn't know a gotchya? And why the hell doesn't she know what it is? She is running for vice president...unlike "90% of Americans..." Pathetic and desperate attempt at a defense for this ignorant woman...

[carobuis]

if ur running for VP u should know what the bush doctrine is. the dumb woman is embarrassing her self. and fuck FOX news!

[iamryan20]

90% of Americans are NOT RUNNING FOR VICE PRESIDENT..... ASSES!!!

[iamryan20]

what a bunch of horse manure.... FOX should just shut the hell up... i'm tired of them.. how could she not know her own political party's views... that was a gotta question... i'm ashamed of Fox...........

[byrniemac791]

if this was a one time slip up, yes. However, she could not name ONE notable newspaper that she has read. Even if she never reads the newspaper, she cant say any names? NY/LA times? herald tribune? Philly inquirer? Chicago Tribune?

secondly, she also could not name ONE supreme court case when asked by couric. Plessey vs ferguson? dred scott? brown v board? bush v gore?

dam, this woman has proved to us that she is completely unknowledgeable, and unfit to lead this country.

[pandabackflip]

the palin doctrine is to shoot polar bears to extinction

[csrocker101]

Wow. When you are running for the second highest public office in the nation and you don't know what the Bush Doctrine is..I am sorry but that is just unacceptable. It just goes to show how uninformed she really is.

[Denisehealthnut]

90% of Americans don't know what the Bush Doctrine is because

90% of Americans aren't running for vice president either, come on.. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, she many not be stupid but watching her in every interview keeps re-affirming that she is indeed stupid.

[pamelacarreno]

im from australia, and i even know what the bush doctrine is, i really hope Palin doesnt win, I just cant believe she is actually dumber than Bush.

[johnc355]

FOX News is CRAZY and they should all be fired. how can you support such a stupid cunt?

[leftyking500]

LMAO@GOTCHA QUESTION

Any 1st year history & politics Uni student knows wha the Bush doctrine is, it's NOT rocket science, and she is suppose to be "experienced" in foreign policy.lol

[Muchodelcrazy]

It's not like this is a gaffe. Accidentally misnaming something or quoting an incorrect figure. This is deer-in-headlights "I've never heard of that" reaction. He even asks her, "what do you interpret it to be?"... and she says "his worldview!" which is clearly not even close! Then he corrects her as to when it was... and she still doesn't even get close!

No trick question, no gaffe, just not suited to be VP or *shudders at possibility* President.

[whigrose18]

Hey, I consider myself educated and I didn't know what he meant. Does that mean I agree with this guy that Palin gets a free pass and the news was trying to trap her? Guess again. I'm not a VP candidate. So I don't need to know the term. She does! C'mon people. If you aren't smart yourself, at least vote for someone who is smarter than you are. That isn't Palin by any means!!!

[JaSellS8362]

Yeah, and those 90% of Americans aren't running for VP OF THE UNITED STATES! If McCain croaks, which is probable, we'll have this clueless hockey mom as our PRESIDENT?! What a joke, I'm moving to Mexico if these clowns are put into office.

[eltresamigas]

haha a mistake here or there did u see her interview with katie couric!?

[yewbertsfriend]

90% of americans don't know what the bush doctrine is, and that's what politicians are for you scum bag, mitt put a sock in it you sleeze, let's hear what you would have said if this were to be said by biden. repulicans are a joke these days.

[onebadwebmonkey]

Boo Hoo! I'm with Fox news and people are asking unfair questions... just like us!

[fender0bass0player]

this is stupid

she is a political figure

she should know what the bush doctrine is

even if she doesnt she should admit to it

and know one should watch fox news for these things because its all bias

im 13 and i can figure out that there is a problem here

[SqueaksS2]

OMG exactly. I'm sorry Sarah, but this is your JOB, know what the Bush Doctrine is. If you don't know what it is, say "what is that, exactly?" and go from there. You made yourself look like an idiot, and, if elected VP you will make your country look stupid as well. You're an embarrassment, i'm sorry. I wish I was an American, just so I could vote, because, in reality, the result of this election affects the rest of the world too. [Reppin' Australia, over here]

[katsan88]

A politician should know the word of "bush doctrine" let obama not know what it is!!!

[fretlessbass26]

Fox Noise at its best :-)

[etopmobile]

she too busy grocery shopping and hunting no time for news. ahh she got 5 kids to take care of... her new VP job will be just taking care of the kids or maybe other people kids as well... vote for her then shoot yourself!

[highbury10]

I am surprised that comments are allowed to be posted! Amazing free speech now in action

[magamaga13]

"what are you trying to proof..?"

she is absolutely clueless about foreign policy! "...the whole bush doctrine thing, you know..."

too stupid to be true

[yervan007]

LET THE REPUBLICAN RECORD SPEAK FOR ITSELF. Over the last 8 years you've done so well. 10 trillion dollar debt 800 billion trade deficit with China Income level of average Am decreased 2000.00 Devalution of the dollar 4.00 gas prices. Iraq War 10 bill a week (we already threw 2 trillion away in that money pit) No Bin Laden Al Qaeda now in 60 countries before Iraq invasion less than 5. Stand up and pat yourself on the back. You deserve it for your utter incompetence.

[poop121]

"What do you think of the Bush Doctrine?" THAT is a "gotcha question"? Good lord!

[ajsm83]

Fox News at there best,Just full of bullshit!!!

[Pekabooicu]

yeah, it's alright, bush made a mistake here and there, the world is still whole, yeah, so what if she presses the "nucular" button, it's only a mistake and atleast she'll rid us of the 90% who don't know what the bush doctrine is.

[Pekabooicu]

and 90 of americans are running for VP

the National Security Strategy of the United States, published on September 20, 2002.[15] This document is often cited as the definitive statement of the doctrine.[16][17][18] It was updated in 2006 and is stated as follows: [19]"It is an enduring American principle that this duty obligates the government to anticipate and counter threats, using all elements of national power, before the threats can do grave damage."

[hotspurhawk121]

im going into college and i know what the flippin bush doctrine is (but i prefer caling it the 1 percent doctrine)...

[Sweepingreaper4]

90% of Americans don't know what the Bush Doctrine is but 90% of Americans aren't running for Vice President. That was so stupid. Nadar 08

[Sweepingreaper4]

sry I meant nader

[Patriot7661]

They say Sarah Palin has Foreign Policy Experience because Alaska is close to Russia. That is ridiculous. Alaska has Mt. McKinley which is America's closest point to space. Does that mean Sarah Palin has Space Policy Experience?

[naturalmystic33]

It just means that she is an astronaut.

[Sweepingreaper4]

somebody been watching the Colbert Report?

[ERAUPRCWA]

Answering a question like the Bush Doctrine for politicians is like asking an average American what color is the sky. We all know the sky is blue but her answer compared to the Bush Doctrine was that the sky is brown. It's a simple question and she couldn't answer it and Fox News of coarse has to blame the interviewer that he asked the question wrong how so, "Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?" how is that a hard question?But neo-cons will defend her on that because you didn't know it either

[pinkclimax]

You sir have just typed the absolute dumbest thing I have ever read.

[ERAUPRCWA]

yes it was a bad analogy I know, I laughed about how dumb it was while I was typing it:-) But the fact still remains it was an easy question that one who is in the running for VP should know. She should also know what the VP does but she's still waiting for someone to tell her. I'm not making that up, she actually said that herself... it's on film, so you can't say I'm lying.

[blackeyedsiouxsie]

90% of Americans aren't running for vice president. This is ridiculous.

[moneyfornewbies]

The mainstream media is now trying to create a gotcha moment against Palin. They are trying to destroy this women. I have never seen anything like it in my life.

[ERAUPRCWA]

but it got her. No one can deny she couldn't answer a simple question. It's not about trying to trap someone, no, it's about bringing to light that someone doesn't know the important issues that are important for the job that we elect them. Do you want another Bush/Cheney in the white house again because they haven't done so great. So, bringing to light these issues are a good thing for people to see. I'm for Obama but I'd be okay with them doing it to him also and they have in the past.

[desilong]

A "gotcha" moment, sorry but this is something that every politician knows, it's not a hard question. This is the problem with this country, we find ignorance and stupidity endearing. "She's just like us, I don't know what the Bush Doctrine is either!." Sorry, but I want someone smarter than me to be in the white house, and if I know what the Bush Doctrine is, you better believe the presumptive VP should know!

[aconnecte]

Well said - Sarah Palin is one the 90% of the country who does not know what the Bush Doctrine is. CASE CLOSED.

[Elaiyel]

90 percent of the country is not a Vice Presidential candidate, just a heartbeat away from the Presidency. The question was a soft ball. She could have told the truth and said,

Charlie, I honestly don't know. Would you care to tell me? But no-ooooooooooo!

[moneyfornewbies]

McCain & Palin have the momentum & the media trashing of Palin is only helping to get more women & men to vote McCain-Palin. It looked like Obama was going to walk away with this 2 weeks ago but the constant smearing of Palin by the media, Obama snubbing Hillary by choosing Biden people are coming over to McCain in droves. I'm not sure it can be stopped. I don't think the debates will help Obama nor do I think the VP debate will hurt Palin. Possibly dumping Biden for Hillary may be the answer.

[ERAUPRCWA]

so just because she's a women it gives her a pass to not know the important issues that will entail her job if elected. She's quoted as saying she doesn't know what the VP does and wishes someone would tell her. C'mon why would someone vote for that? Would you hire someone for a job who doesn't have knowledge or the credentials for the job? so why would we elect someone for VP if they don't have the knowledge or credentials for the job?

[mapboy78]

If you are running for president or vp, you SHOULD know what the Bush Doctrine is. case is NOT closed.

[aconnecte]

That was exactly my point. She is just one of the 90% of America, which supports the point that she might not be qualified for the VP of USA.

[24hourcashflow]

When you say "we" who are you lumping yourself with?

[Elaiyel]

You talkin' to me? We is the people who vote.

V--O--T--E--R--S, "we the people" who want a better America. We who want better for America and Americans. Get it now? "WE" who have had enough. Understand now. We who want our country and our government back. Your welcome to join us.

[moneyfornewbies]

I can only hope that there is a huge backlash in answer to this media smear of McCain-Palin. The voting public should decide who becomes president...not a biased media.

[Elaiyel]

How is it smearing Palin, if she's the one who doesn't know the answer. Is it wrong to ask her even simplest question a potential VP should know? So we just let her skate on by without being vetted. Is that it?

[bittyrock]

I agree with Elaiyel. How is it smearing Palin? I guess the Rupublicans don't want to talk about issues because the Right Wing knows that people especially in specific Areas of this Country are Stupid and they Take Advantage of their Stupidness!

[dwornica80]

Amen
