What if Palin had admitted to Charles Gibson that she did not know what the Bush Doctrine was?

What if instead of using the weasly, "in what respect?" she had said, "Frankly, I don't know what you mean by Bush Doctrine. Can you rephrase the question?"

Personally, I think her sleaziness wouldn't be an issue today. If she had answered the questions honestly, she could have silenced the critics. Instead, she just kept piling the lipstick on that pig.

1. It would have been better.

But that fake beauty queen smile and constant "Charlie" cooing just did her in.

2. Indeed

She did admit to not knowing, in her evasive roundabout way... a direct answer as you suggest would have looked better on her.

She isn't ready to be interviewed, let alone be a VP or be the POTUS under other circumstances. She just isn't.

3. We would not know she willingly fakes it! And does a poor job of faking it too!!

I'd rather know she is a fake, and a poor one at that, right from the get go.

The headline between all the lines today is "HELLO WORLD.. Palin is faking it."

5. The bullshit she launched into on the God thing signalled what a faker she was loud and clear.

Comparing herself to Lincoln... :eyes:

4. It's Bush's NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY

The VP sits on the National Security Council.

This is fucking HUGE and if we had any semblance of intelligent journalism - they would be horrified and would have educated the people so that more of the public would be horrified as well.
