Wow. The WaPost recognizes the reality of this issue, and prints it prominently. Kudos to them, and I’m not one to be inclined to praise them.

Gibson looked like the jerk IMHO.

You could literally knock me over with a feather. Page one? No, something lighter than a feather. The substance in one of Obama’s speeches.

Some little smart ass, Obama supporting, Gibson aid probably was whispering in his earpiece, “ask about the Bush Doctrine” thinking it's some written policy of President Bush to destroy the world. They are so hell-bent on finding some conspiracy in everything that they now ask open ended questions that would normally be asked by crack-heads.
Gibson might as well just ask her if she supports Bush in his quest for domination over the Universe?

There is no particular "Bush Doctrine."

Why would someone focus her study upon that which does not exist?

So Charlie, which one are you seeking an answer on? Are you sure?

Charlie please explain the choices in detail so Sarah knows which one your asking about.

I may be one of the few who think she handled the "Bush Doctrine" question properly. It is not clear to me that she did not know what the Bush Doctrine is; rather, she was asking for clarification of the question.

Her answer was on point.

ABC and Charlie cut up and edited the interview, we should not believe anything the left comments on. Did they do this to Obama’s interview? If they did it was edited to take out all the flubs, misquotes, time in between word such as “UH,- AH,- EH -UM,- AN,AN,AN”, my Muslim faith and indecipherable sentences that go no where. They think we are all fools! This fool votes!

Right on. Obama looks like a damn fool these days when trying to talk off the cuff. If he had been thrown this question, his response would have been something like, “AH... Ah... the current administration... uh... Bush... ah...needs a ah.... breathalyzer. I mean a disgronificator. Uh, ah, I mean... a new policy.”

The entire article is about multiple meanings and how Gibson is the one that is deranged

Which was my point. The Left has transferred its hatred of Bush to a hatred of Palin.

Perhaps a lesson in reading comprehension...?

I'm a busy man. I don't have time to give lessons.

Gov. Palin was not confused with Gibson’s Bush Doctrine question. It was a trick question. She recognized it for what it was and asked Gibson which part—it has several parts. That forced Gibson to clarify his question and then she hit it out of the ball park. She gave Gibson no where to go. By any fair and reasonable standard, her response was exactly what it should have been. That is the mark of a seasoned politician.

Good reply, very sharp. However ignoring your problem will not cause it to disappear.

Get help.

Well, let me see.
  1. The article illistrated the Leftist media's blindness to the truth (because of their hatred of Palin).
  2. I described the Left's transferring their derangement from Bush to Palin.
  3. You said I didn't comprehend the article.
Is that about right?
