Did anyone else think the Palin interview seemed heavily edited?

I'd love to get a hold of the unedited version. I can't imagine what might have been left on the cutting room floor.

1. They had to stop rolling tape when Sarah needed to vomit from nerves.....

[SharonRB]

2. It kept cutting out in spots for me

so I figured it was edited pretty heavily.

3. I was disappointed in her level of AWARENESS and her level of knowledge. She seemed disconnected

...from what was going on daily in this country.

There are bloggers more knowledgeable than her

[mzmolly]

5. I thought so too. Frankly I felt that most DU-ers and even Freepers

have more knowledge on foreign policy? She should have said NO to McCain. Neither she nor the Republican Presidential Candidate had any business suggesting she's ready to be on a national ticket.

9. Sadly, in all likelihood, she believes GOD has called her to be VP,

just like the Chimp thinks God picked him to be the Pretzeldent. :eyes:

12. The freepers went on and on and on...

...about the bad editing. Of course, they think that all her good answers were edited out! LOL!

[mzmolly]

13. It's good they realize she bombed

as well.

15. We need to understand...

...that this is not a very intelligent woman. Smart people like the Clintons, Obama, etc, can easily understand complicated concepts, they absorb knowledge like a sponge. For Palin, this was clearly brutal. If you look at her previous life, she was very much a control freak and although she was a governor, it was not a demanding job or one that required a lot of brain power. Being boxed in and forced to learn a huge amount of material could do her in. It will be interesting.

The freepers were so upset and many said "I'd like someone to ask Obama what the Bush Doctrine is." That just shows how they do not get it. Obama could explain the Bush Doctrine better than Bush himself!!!

4. Certainly... the network will only show the parts it wants to

[RichGirl]

16. They only showed where she screwed up.

Her brilliance is laying on the cutting room floor....LOLOLOLOL!!!!

[Boz]

6. Particularly when he was asking about the bush doctrine, he kept asking, leading and then finally a

cut and it seemed to be an answer taken from another question to sort of fit.

[tekisui]

7. There were a couple spots that were awful edits.

The question on Iran, watch if you want. Charlie has hands by his side, then is scratching his nose. Bad edit.


What I don't understand is this is ABC. They are a big budget operation, they can make it professional. So what happened? Was it a last minute edit to cover for Palin? Was there just no way around that particular splice? It doesn't make sense.

8. She can see Russia from Alaska... WTF?

She wants to invade Pakistan. Thinks NUKULAR weapons are OKie-Dokie. Talks like a 12 year old girl. The MSM is going to shill for her. We are in deep, deep crap.....

[mzmolly]

11. LOL

Yes, the I can see Russia comment was really off the wall. :crazy: Not sure what the MSM will do, but we shall see.

[DJ13]

10. Know whats really funny?

Knowing ABC and their pro-GOP bias, the parts left in were the BEST they could come up with.

[gratefultobelib]

14. Good point and I'll take that thought to bed with me tonight!!

[Roland99]

17. It was poorly edited but with her "blizzard of words", they didn't have much choice.

[mzmolly]

18. "Charlie, Charlie, Charlie"

And "Nukular" to boot!

[mzmolly]

19. PS I love your bumper stickers

:toast:

20. Watched the TPM part

I figured it seemed extremely edited by TPM as it had no continuity when cutting from one camera to another.

And don't kill me for saying TPM edits as everyone edits. But what I saw was disjointed, so if that was the straight cut, which there is a good chance it was, and they actually go with what I saw....that's pathetic and Gibson and ABC should just be fired.
