ISTAKEN FROM A VERY GOOD PRO PALIN SITE. IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT.

This was taken from palinforvp blog site. Here’s the link. http://palinforvp.blogspot.com/
I like this fellow.  He’s quickly to the point and doesn’t waste words.  I like his site and you might too. There are some good links there as well. I’m not even certain how I found it, but I’m happy that I did.

Gibson and Fey

UPDATE: This should be essential reading. The Mark Levin Show has posted ABC’s UNEDITED trnascript of the Palin interview.  http://tinyurl.com/3od2nx All of the best quotes from Gov. Palin, especially on foreign policy, were edited out!

Well, a lot has happened in the past few days, notably Gov. Palin’s interview with Charlie Gibson and the debut of the Saturday Night Live version of Sarah Palin (played by Tina Fey). Both of these are important developments that I want to talk about.

First, let’s talk about the Charlie Gibson interview. I’ve heard a lot of debate over whether Mr. Gibson’s line of questioning was fair, and I personally don’t think it was. It was definitely a good idea for him to ask tough questions on foreign policy (I specifically likes the questions about Georgia and NATO), but I do think that the question about the “Bush Doctrine” was out of line. Here’s why: there is no set definition of the “Bush Doctrine”, a term which has been applied to any number of different policies and which Charlie Gibson clearly has not studied. I would highly recommend Charles Krauthammer’s column on the subject, which clearly outlined a number of different definitions which have been applied to the term “Bush Doctrine”. Here’s what I thought to be the “money quote” from that article:  http://tinyurl.com/46l3xv

Yes, Palin didn’t know what it is. But neither does Gibson. And at least she didn’t pretend to know—while he looked down his nose and over his glasses with weary disdain.”

Krauthammer also brings me to my second point, which is that Mr. Gibson spent the entire interview LITERALLY staring staring down his nose at the next Vice President of the United States. He seemed to have no interest in what she had to say, and premised all of his questions (on everything from the “bridge to nowhere” to “Troopergate") on the idea that she was lying to him. If he didn’t get the answer he wanted, he simply got angry rather than trying to understand what was being said. All in all, I think that Gov. Palin did a good job, especially considering the biased line of questioning.

Now, on to Tina Fey of Saturday Night Live.  While SNL may not be horribly relevant, it is widely watched and fun to discuss. Personally, I had been wondering for quite some time who would play Gov. Palin if we succeeded. Fey was certainly the natural choice, but I didn’t actually expect SNL to bring her back to the program just for the purpose of portraying Sarah Palin. I’m glad that I was wrong, and for my two cents, I thought that her Palin was fantastic. As someone who has had to watch every TV appearance by Gov. Palin for the last year and a half, I laughed my head off at all of the little quirks that Tina Fey managed to pick up (licking her teeth, the way she waved, facial expressions, everything). And on a side note, it creeped me out that I knew so much about the minutia of Gov. Palin’s facial gestures. Oh, well.

Next time, I’ll be taking on the experience issue by comparing the credentials of Sarah Palin with the pre-Presidency resumes of two heroes of the Democratic Party: Bill Clinton and Woodrow Wilson.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
