I realized three things tonight. For one, if you are a McCain/Palin/Bush voter, you and I do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in brain power.

He's right but for the opposite reason he thinks.

I'm almost positive that Gibson was referring to the National Security Strategy of 2002, which was released on September 17, 2002 (Gibson referred to the Bush Doctrine as coming from September 2002). It lays out a justification for pre-emptive attacks.

The question was bad for all involved. Gibson is getting grief because he was trying to carry Obama's water and messed it up. He was trying to get her to say,

that she supported the Bush Doctrine - They probably already had the Same as Bush ad ready for the clip to be dropped in

that she supported non-imminent-threat pre-emptive action against countries - that would be Obama ad #2

show she wasn't up on DC-speak

show she wasn't up on foreign affairs - a legitimate purpose for the question.

Palin was lucky and avoided the first two, only the DCnerds care about the third and she came to an effective neutering of the 4th with the imminent threat action answer.

Looking at the question, I believe Palin chose Gibson for the first interview due to some awe of him due to her limited exposure to the national media jerks. Her body language tells me she was disappointed and hurt by the ambush question. Had Gibson explained his question it would not have been taken as an ambush. She buckled down and got out of the ambush with aplomb. I don't expect she'll make the mistake of respecting the media again.

Well, no one should expect a lady to know about things like policy and war. It's unladylike. And it was rude of Gibson to pick such hard questions to ask. Women can't be expected to answer questions like that; questions of policy, war and economics are topics for us menfolk, not the ladies. He should have asked about recipes and housekeeping. She would have been much more comfortable with ladies' topics like that than with politics. I fault Gibson for his lack of chivalry.

Those leftists are always so cruel to conservatives, who always respond with unfailing respect and dignity.

I don't, I treat people the way they treat others.

But it's a living breathing doctrine.I thought you liberals loved doctrines that live and breath, babies not so much.
