Well, America heard what Charlie Gibson thought some of the questions should be tonight.

Pretty unbelievable. Almost all of his questions were of the condescending gotcha type , repeated several times over and over in a slightly different badgering sort of way to trip her up. He tried to exude the air of the knowing Professor lecturing the dumb freshman. The Messiah would never be treated this way!

Gibson clearly misquoted Palin in her so-called “God’s Plan” speech and used an edited clip to reinforce his misrepresentation of the facts.

He clearly reinforced the impression that the media is out to get her.

But Sarah came out swinging, particularly in response to his lying insistence of her “exact words”. She did fine. I did’nt mind her answer on the “Bush Doctrine” or Pakistan, and didn’t think she looked bad at any point.

He looked like a jerk. This interview won’t hurt her, but it may rally even more women to her side. I can’t see too many clear thinking women being happy with the way see was treated.
