You’re right on the line of questioning, she is running for Vice President, we need to know if she can stand up to tough questioning. Although Gibson was very smug, ironic from a guy that reads news from a teleprompter for a living. My only problem is, where is the tough interview of Obama, and how about Biden? IF he wants to be a respected reporter he has to act like one, he is just a mouth for the DNC, and he was doing his best to stop the Palin steamroller.
I’ve sometimes watched interviews by all three of them. When their guest is a liberal or Democrat, they seem to fawn over them, and if they ask any hard-ball questions they look so apologetic and almost comical. When the guest is conservative, they hold nothing back and usually end up with a mixture of sarcasm and pity for the obvious imbeciles in front of them.
Momentary pause for mental image...
Don't you mean "for the next 12 years"? ;-)
What’s funny is no one has ever asked Obama if he is ready to lead and he is the TOP of his ticket?
Gibson lost me on the first question. His condescension rose and he looked down his nose at her. I wanted to throw a brick through the tv.
Brokow would have been better, since he would try to be scrupulously fair, given MSNBC's embarrasments. ..
Governor Palin seemed tense, which would come as no surprise, but disciplined and confident, even as Charlie Gibson looked at her with obvious disapproval during the interview.
I thought the Palin-Gibson interview segment we've seen was about what we would expect. Mild-manned Charles Gibson looking grim and disapproving, asking questions that he assumed would make her look uninformed, unqualified or stupid while Sarah Palin came off a bit tense but composed, knowledgeable and convincing. A win for Palin and another case of the leftists doing a lot more harm to their side than they did to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Go, Sarah!
I don’t know how they will do the next interview. Gibson will have trouble hiding his bias regardless of the setting.
Gibson is a jerk.He could have engaged her in an interesting conversation about the issues. Instead, pompous and condescending, he chose to play prosecutor, and a dishonest one at that.

Now that they did it once (Palin subjected to lame MSM interrogation), they should insist that Palin will not answer questions that have not been put forth to 0be first.
Gibson looked like he hadn’t taken a dump in weeks. Fiber Charlie, Fiber! It’ll help pass the crap Charlie, that you pass to us as news!
Dang that Karl Rove, by choosing that woman-hating fob, Gibson to interview Sarah Palin, Rove has now managed to drive even more D & I women over to Mccain....next polls may well show that OBama has loss another hefty chunk of women voters!
