---I think this deserves it's own thread-----

Watch how Gibson starts to get annoyed with her, when she doesn't know what the doctrine is. He clearly gets disgusted. I think this is a good sign.(about 2 minutes in)

dangerous she is...let's see if there is a shift in ABC reporting on the mccrap campaign..

He failed in the mission to make her look good.

Actually I thought he looked pretty impatient and fed up, even before he had to explain the Bush Doctrine to her.

There were other people involved at ABC who saw this before it ever hit the air, it's not live. Figure at least one editor (definitely some edits in there), a director, sound and camera operators, probably makeup artists. I'll bet the higher ups demanded to approve everything before it was released to the public. It could be that they had already announced they'd be airing X number of interview timeslots with her and when the shoot was over, they were left with this as one of the least dumbest things she said but she physically looked her best doing it. I figure that's the only way this got past the censors because she looked like an idiot!

But I agree, this bad showing won't stop ABC's Pailin lovefest. x(

they had a posse of people. How much you want to bet they have a similar demand list as celebrities? Certain lighting, being shot from a certain angle, final cut approval, a make up artist? Her own. hair stylist. check. clothing stylist. check. Starbucks latte? check. all white linen in the dressing room? check. only white flowers? check. Who is paying for all of that? Hmmm....

Ear piece. check.

And yes, it was edited heavily -- at least from the small bits I saw.

I can't believe she did as poorly as she did given the Kid Glove Celebrity Treatment she got on this on. I am positive she saw questions ahead of time. At the VERY least, they provided a list of "suggested" lines of questioning.

That's essentially what she got her degree in. She was trained in diction and poise. She understands dressing for the camera very well. But I don't think she got ALL the questions. She was definitely caught off balance with the Bush Doctrine question.

I also saw shock on her face-- like what? that wasn't one of the questions. I'm sure the McCain gave them a list of "suggested" questions and "off limits" questions and then Charlie gave her a list of "probable questions".

The thing that ticks me off is that no other candidate would get to have a list of "off limits questions"....that's very celeb stuff. Although one would hope that the media would focus on pertinent stuff like he did anyway -- and it doesn't seem like the issues helped their side much.

Interesting thought: they wanted this race to be about personality and then complained that the media should leave her kids out of it but then she keeps on bringing them back into it....and notice when They aren't talking about her Dramas, and actually talk about her issues, how utterly obvious it is that this person is a fool?

I can only assume they thought Charlie would help build that narrative -- I'm shocked, frankly, that he was as hard as he was. Shocked.

with Gibson. He clearly realizes what a lightweight she is and SHE is clearly pissed that he would dare to ask her REAL questions.

Methinks this will make for some INTERESTING footage over the next 48 hours!

:popcorn:

She sure can talk a lot without saying a damn thing.

This was pure evasion and pure bullshit. She doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. This speaks volumes. This woman is dangerous.

Isn't it?

Let's see if they can put lipstick on this like they do with everything else.

She can't think on her own... she tried to use her "approved" talking points and it made little to no sense most of the time.

I hear the Freepers are pissed at Gibson:) Hilarious!

I couldn't bring myself to watch it - thanks to you with stronger constitutions.

Her posture was horrid, her eyes told of great fear, her finger wagging was deplorable, and her choice of talking points didn't fit the questions asked. In short, she choked:)

"Charlie" this and "Charlie" that. As completely unpolished and unprofessional as I've ever seen. This woman is faking it! She doesn't know diddly about the questions being posed to her.

I was as frustrated as "Charlie" was... I can't recall one question she actually answered directly. She needs to learn she cannot baffle the American people with bullshit.

But the low info folks won't know shit either.

She's just using the soundbytes that she's been taught.

And her talking points didn't exactly answer the questions... made her look really stupid.

The more she and McCain talk, the better for Obama!

they don't want that paper mache resume to start coming apart before the election. the idea that this woman could be the president should scare everyone!! EVERYONE!! regardless republican or dem or whatever. whatever anyone's convictions are. in the shithole our country is in right now on so many fronts.... this would be worse than dubya. imagine thinking of this past seven years as the good old days!! *shudder*

"A wonderful interview"
"I've made up my mind ... McCain/Palin"


I've heard better canned answers from Miss Teen Peoria contestants but apparently a segment of the population wouldn't care if they propped dead Bernie in the chair and tied strings to his finger to wag at Charlie.

Inept, vacuous and arrogant. We hit the trifecta.

this is all gravy.

spins this. They could try to talk about how "folksy" she is :puke: never under-estimate the "folksiness" of the sheeple that voted Bush in 2004.

Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!

..

I never thought I would see such a day ... why would anyone vote for her

It's no wonder she's rallying the base. She's one of them!

nice to see.

I can't wait to see if they start going after the mccrap campaign now...

was he asking a vetted question and she started off on the wrong rehearsed answer, or did he ask a sincere question and she clearly had no idea what she was talking about?

Things that make ya go hmm...

At least at Harvard, they can send off their stupidest graduates with the ability to obfuscate.

Right before the Bush Doctrine question, he let outs an exaggerated, irritated sigh. Oh, he does not like this woman. That is clear.

Damn, that was pathetic.

I love it!!!

This, in fact, could have been a Chris Matthews moment with that one guy who didn't know what appeasement meant. LOL

and I am very concerned that this woman has even an outside chance of running this country. She was in so far over her head, it was painful to watch.

"and that's the beauty of American elections and democracy" WINK

Excuse me... :puke:

There were a couple of times when she tried the cutsie thing--that time and another when she smiled and said "Charlie" coyly-- but they bombed so badly that she quickly gave up.

she vacillates between sweet mommy/sex kitten and pitbull...:eyes:

Is it in the history books yet?

Let's just hope most people will think this is something a VP should know about.

Of course, she said all the right kind of godblessamerica bs, so she wouldn't turn off her base supporters.

At least, everyone who's been paying attention to things like why we went to war in Iraq.

I guess I'm one of the weird ones... who was so offended when it was mentioned in justification of an obviously idiotic and mis-characterized invasion that I'll never be able to forget it.

The CNN analysts also thought it was an "unfair" question... I mean... why should we expect the next Vice President to be more conversant with International Affairs than any other Hockey Mom?... that's just mean...


I will now shut up. If I type anything more... the profanity will wilt screens.

Everybody should know what the "Bush Doctrine" is. Thank goodness there are people like you who recognize this. Unfortunately, there are at least two kinds of people who won't know what it is: those who feel it's unnecessary because they wouldn't want to seem like "geeks", and their preachers tell them everything they need to know about what's right and what's wrong anyway; and those who are still so appalled by this Joke that has assumed the presidency, that defining his policies as doctrine seems to denigrate the doctrine of the legitimate presidents who came before his bastard reign.

:rofl:


Wow, what a horrid interview! :wow:

I'm gonna get you BANISHED to the Island of Misfit Toys*, Charlie! Harrumph."







*You can see Russia from there!

she's clearly trying to find a foothold in this interview, never quite gets one.

Even edited this was painful. Someone has to step in and stop this. She cannot be a 72 year old heart beat away from the Presidency.

Wow..

Youza!

Geez Loise!

Oh man...

Great googely moogely!

seem to be saying much. I mean a lot of words came out of her mouth, but they didn't really seem to mean anything. A bunch of sentences without any substance that didn't go anywhere.

Maybe this is just me.:shrug:

I loved that :)

weeping about how MEAN he was to her.

:eyes:

damn, can't wait until Part II, and to think I wasn't going to watch...:popcorn:

... was when he said "I'm sorry, I got lost in a blizzard of words. Was that a yes? You feel that we have the right to conduct military operations across the border into a country, like Pakistan, without permission from that country's government?"

And she responded with not just another blizzard of words... but practically the SAME blizzard of words.


-"I feel that the reason that U.S. Americans have a hard time finding Canada on the map, is because they don't have enough maps..."

Not just awful, beyond awful. She can't answer a question, but when she does, it's obviously without any real comprehension of what the words actually mean.

She looked and sounded like my old high school students who'd start b.s.ing when I called on them, showing that they hadn't even read the Cliff's Notes, let alone the book. Ugh.

Just like a trained (ROVE) seal

you can tell how PISSED she was when she got stumped! and he asked it without any context or hint as to what the hitlerbush doctrine was, so she had no way to bs her way out of it. she was pissed!

that's pretty much how I saw it.

WOW

(can't view vids)

sounds like shrub to me...

Dat's a sharp un, der churlie.

Lord, Allah, Olodumare, anyone, help save us from this bimbo fronting for Rove & Co.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She reminds me a a girl you meet in a bar while drunk and have a one night stand with. Then when you talk the next day you realize "Jeez I hate this person". She's the ex-girlfriend from hell that just won't go away.
