Charlie Gibson's horrible sexist interview
I don't know how many of you saw these interviews last night and this morning, but I was shocked that he would ask these questions of a lady like Governor Palin! As the mother of five children she should be shown a greater measure of respect and deferrence than to be subjected to questions such as:


"As a member of the weaker sex, do you agree with the Bush doctrine?"

"Can you look the country in the eye and say, 'I have the experience and I have the ability and I have the upper body strength to be not just vice president, but perhaps president of the United States of America?'"

"Didn't that take some balls?"

"When I asked John McCain about your national security credentials, he cited the fact that you have commanded the Alaskan National Guard and that Alaska is close to Russia. Do you ever feel 'not-so-fresh?'"

"I'm talking about somebody who's a head of state, who can negotiate for that country. Ever do one?"



Shameful, ABC! Just shameful!

2. You obviously watched a different program than I. Did you see
the Gibson interview with Obama? Almost an hour discussing his "church" and not the issues. The bimbette is grossly under educated with no refinement or polish. She has bully tendancies and is playing the "girly" game with the "winks" to see if that will help her. Sorry, Charlie did the job of a journalist for once in his life. Thanks Charlie.
