1. Because he makes Barbara Walters look like Walter Cronkite.

Remember the debate when he claimed a couple making 200K were "middle-class"?

2. Chuckles is Poppy Bush's golfing buddy

And he will do everything he possibly can to make Tundra Barbie not look like a complete buffoon.
For once, I actually feel a little sorry for the bastard.

3. He proved his bona fides by pushing for capital gains tax reduction

in at least one debate. Made him look like a total
tool (which is what they were looking for in a first
sit-down).

5. Gibson agreed to provide the questions in advance? That would

not surprise me in the slightest.

8. They have the questions and any rebuttal questions he may ask..

Most people running for political office want the media around so they can get some exposure. How is it they choose the day, time, and the interviewer? It's bullshit. They are not going to agree to any interview where they are not calling the shots.

9. They liked the bang up job he did of moderating the Clinto-Obama debate with George Stephanopoulos

That's the kind of coverage they want for Sarah Palin.
