My email to Charles Gibson regarding Palin interview.

For all the good it will do. . . . But it was cathartic anyway. (However you spell cathartic. . . .)
Anyway. Here's what I said:


I certainly hope that Charles Gibson will actually ask Gov. Palin some real questions about her qualifications, some pointed questions about her blatant lies (i.e. the eBay plane sale and her opposition to the "bridge to nowhere"), and some policy questions that will require fully informed and detailed answers.

Gibson stated on his blog:
"Once you know about her daughter's pregnancy, once you know about her husband's political interest in the Alaska Independent Party, once you know about the special nature of their latest child, I think that's enough."

Really?! You really think that's enough do you, Charlie? Really. Well, shoot, if that's all it takes I'm over-qualified. I'm putting my name in the hat. I'm a soccer mom. I own my own business. Heck, I can even pronounce "nuclear" correctly (and without the phonetic spelling on the teleprompter to boot).

All snarkiness aside, ask REAL QUESTIONS, Mr. Gibson. We deserve leaders that are the best our country has to offer--not someone we want to have a beer with, not someone who makes us feel good about ourselves because they're "just like us," not someone chosen at the last minute in a "Hail Mary" political pass without any vetting.

Do your job. Ask the questions.
