#70 In her much-anticipated interview with Charlie Gibson on ABC News, Palin obviously stumbled when he asked her about the “Bush Doctrine,” leading many pundits to speculate that she didn’t understand the question.
The Who Doctrine?
When Charles Gibson of ABC asked Sarah Palin how she felt about the “Bush Doctrine,” our hockey mom proved a little out of her element.
“In what respect, Charlie?”
Translation: What is the Bush Doctrine? S—t, I hope he doesn’t notice that I have no f—king clue what he is talking about! Maybe if I get all “folksy” and call him by his first name, he’ll overlook that I am a complete moron.
Stunned that a vice presidential nominee and potential president wasn’t familiar with the fundamental foreign policy philosophy of the current president, whose doctrine of “preemptive strikes” against nations that pose a threat led to a conflict in which her own son will participate, Gibson just asked her what she interpreted it to be.
Again, she waffled. “His world view.”
Translation: Am I getting warm, Charlie? Give me a hint, pretty please.
Gibson gave in and told her what it was.
Once our girl understood the question, she avoided answering it.
“Charlie, if there is legitimate and enough intelligence that tells us that a strike is imminent against American people, we have every right to defend our country,” she began.
Translation: Now that I understand the question, Charlie, there’s no way I’m going to answer it.
