Don't be surprised to see some commentary in the next few days that shows past examples of Gibson explaining the Bush Doctrine in pretty much the same way she did.

Actually, have already heard it. Can't link it because don't remember where. But he has done it.

I really am amazed more people aren't honest about how sorry of a question that was. For her to say "in what respect" made complete sense.

Charlie Gibson asks her: "Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?" It's obvious she has no idea what he's talking about. He eventually explains it to her. It's painful to watch.

ABC News/YouTube - Sarah Palin Holds Forth on Bush Doctrine, Pakistan

Honestly, I don't blame Palin for not knowing as she obviously has no serious interest in foreign affairs, nor need she as governor of Alaska. But I still can't believe that McCain chose this person to replace him as POTUS.

What do you guys think?

It's clear she knows as much about it as Bush does.

So you ask a question about an ambiguous topic that you do not understand and expect an answer. What’s the purpose of the question?

So the average dummy sitting at home thinks, "ooh, she ain't not know that one". When in reality, Palin's answer was fine and she had a right to be a little puzzled by such a poor question. However, a lot of people will not discover that because of how the media reports.

Just as I suspected - many interpretations of the Bush Doctrine and Gibson's is but one of many.

Not surprising at all. There is no clear cut Bush Doctrine. The Bush Doctrine is a creation of Limbaugh/conservative thinkers and the liberal media.

It can be just about anything depending on what side of the aisle you are on...


This is a non-issue, and really, I'm surprised the left would try to reach on a story like this.

It only matters because it's a gotcha question. Ask people that have much more foreign policy experience than Palin and they might do better but there is no right answer to the question.

She didn't handle it well but to bash her because she didn't give the proper definition of the Bush Doctrine is absurd - Gibson didn't give the proper definition and most foreign policy wonks would give differing answers.

It's clear she's not a foreign policy expert. The question is "can she be?". Obama is more up to speed on foreign policy issues but he's made some very naive foreign policy statements. Understandable since he has about a 2 year head start on Palin.

the way it's working out, Gibson's going to get hammered more than Palin.

On a similar note, the three idiotic lesbians from the view should be getting pounded for their clearly displayed disdain for McCain and all things Republican.

That's what I thought. Poorly worded question by Gibson. This interview doesn't make him look good.

As for Palin, she was so-so. She didn't do a lot to help herself, but didn't do anything to hurt herself either.

I agree. The backlash is already starting. Krauthammer (a tool, himself) wrote essay in WaPo trashing Gibson, and both media critics of NYT and LAT were very critical of the interview.

I wonder why? Maybe because he is the one the that coined the term "Bush Doctrine" and therefore realizes what a ridiculous question that was.

I still don't think Palin knew what the Bush doctrine was -- whether Gibson knew or not is immaterial to me. Gibson is a journalist and has proven himself to be an idiot. The jury's still out on Palin, although not in my book.

gibson won't turn into Rather here, but he will lose loads of credibility over this.
