you can't blink churley!
do not even hesitate to go read the transcript of the charlie gibson interview of sarah palin.

you will get many lols such as:

GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, "Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God." Are we fighting a holy war?

PALIN: You know, I don't know if that was my exact quote.

GIBSON: Exact words.


AND

GIBSON: ... 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. Are those sufficient credentials?

PALIN: But it is about reform of government and it's about putting government back on the side of the people, and that has much to do with foreign policy and national security issues. Let me speak specifically about a credential that I do bring to this table, Charlie, and that's with the energy independence that I've been working on for these years as the governor of this state that produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy, that I worked on as chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, overseeing the oil and gas development in our state to produce more for the United States.

GIBSON: I know. I'm just saying that national security is a whole lot more than energy.


AND THAT'S JUST THE FIRST PAGE!

The best part? This "interview" was done over many sittings, recorded, and edited, so that was the best takes they could get. ROFLOL

Oh, lord, really? That's really, really pathetic.

The awkward pause before the inordinately aggressive "In what respect, Charlie?" is just indescribably painful.

I love how people are actually critisizing GIBSON for asking actual question about actual issues. Foreign policy? Could be important for the next administration. How dare he!

So I now live in Alaska, and I don't know much about Russia, either. And all she could say is that "we can see Russia from a small Alaskan island?" LOL

I work at Katmai National Park, so on the Alaskan peninsula. Biggest town would be King Salmon. Where are you?

I'm in Anchorage. I have done a bunch of work out on the Peninsula, though. There are some nice communities out there and Katmai is beautiful.

Plus, you're way closer to Russia than me, so I'll definitely come to you with my foreign policy questions. ;)

Ha ha...I love how she made it sound like you could stand on some island in Alaska and see the mainland of Russia, instead of just another island that happens to belong to Russia. And I'm reasonably sure she's never been there (of course).

What, are they trying to reinvent the word "nuke-u-lar"?

I read the transcript but I didn't realize just HOW BAD it was until I watched the painful highlights. ugh. I'm from Alaska, so I know she's awful and unqualified, but that interview was horrific!

I hadn't seen those! thanks! bill o'reilly is such an ass. jesus christ someone needs to tase him to stop INTERRUPTING. it's so controlling and manipulative. if he can interrupt and smother the other person with sarcasm without letting them talk, he's in control of the message he wants viewer to receive.
