Ok, I just got the opportunity to watch the interview with Charles Gibson and Palin. Holy shit. First, she doesn't know what the BUSH DOCTRINE is!!! What?!

keep in mind that i don't support any of these people and plan to refrain from voting:

the "bush doctrine" question was a trap. the administration has never presented any coherent plan or policy with that name, and her answer to the question ended up addressing the concept that the term was originally used for, anyway.

keep in mind, this is the same interviewer that had an entire democratic debate to run and chose to ask about flag lapel pins.

as for the rest, i would highly recommend checking out some highlights from the unedited ABC transcripts. her ideas on russia aren't nearly as drastic as what made the TV edit sound like. hell, they're not even similar...

you should already know you can't trust politicians, but you can't trust the news anymore, either.

I'm sure the question was a trap, but anyone that even slightly follows politics would have known what he was referring to.

I know I can't trust the news. Most of the information I get about Palin is from public record documents from her political 'career' in Alaska.

I'm sure she's a fine person and all, I just don't want her as VP or Pres.
