That pretty much speaks for itself – alas.

I feel as though Miss SC is being unfairly maligned by this comparison.

Oh, and – why the hell are Princess Sarah and commoner Charlie sitting so close together. Looks creepy. I guess this is their extra insurance, so that when she fucks up, the excuse would be that Charlie was all pressuring her and so in her face.

Bush is probably sitting somewhere, asking an advisor: “I have a doctrine named after me?!??1!! Really???!!”

Almost as appalling was her attempt to recast her “our soldiers are On A Mission From God” statement to a quote of Abraham Lincoln. If anyone was buying that, I have some beachfront property in Galveston that I would like to sell them. But the deal has to close in the next 12 hours.

“Bush Doctrine”?

Shoot first and ask questions later?

wow, epic fail. it starts with the pregnant pause then continues into the instant classic “in what respect charlie?” which is essentially “can you use it in sentence?” gibson then practically chokes as he almost asks “what the hell?” then she answers with the absolutely idiotic “his worldview” and then sits there frozen hoping she’s dodged a bullet. gibson to his credit doesn’t let her off the hook and she finally gives an answer that sounds like a freshman trying to bullshit her way through a summer reading oral book report.

wow, savor this people. nights like this may be few…

I wish Charlie had thrown her a wobbly one, like:

“Many people today are worried about the implications of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. Do you think it represents an existential threat to the USA?”

Follow up question:

“The God particle. Does it exist? And if so, do you think we will find it?

Has Palin killed Thursday night basset blogging?

Yeah, where are the dogs? What’s that lovable rapscallion Fenway been up to this week? And how’s Beckham doing with his attempts to renounce evil?

Where da dogs at?

We’ve seen enough bitching from the McPalins … give up some dog leg.

Bush doctrine – shoot first and fire anyone who tells you that it might not be such a good idea

Forget the leg, we need major basset penis after this week.

“I feel as though Miss SC is being unfairly maligned by this comparison.

Exactly what I was thinking. It’s very possible that this young beauty princess is more qualified to be Veep than Caribou Barbie.

I wanna see them debate.

I can’t wait for Bill Orally’s “Body Language Expert” to weigh in on this one.

I thought Joe Lieberman was tutoring her. Are they starting from such a low level that they didn’t even get to the Bush doctrine?

Maybe it’s just a matter of, ahem, the “soft bigotry of low expectations”, but I think that Gibson deserves some credit for putting at least one fastball across the plate.

“I believe that what President Bush…” & “I personally believe that U.S. Americans…” match rather well (pausing each stream for its compliment’s interviewers). I eagerly await the bootlegs.

I wish I could agree, HalloweenJack. Unfortunately, I believe that every question Gibson asked was pre-approved by Team Rove, and Caribou Barbie was mercilessly schooled on the correct “soundbite-speak” for each answer.

That look of horror on Charlie’s face wasn’t anxiety for the future of our country. No, Charlie Gibson’s sphincter went into overdrive when he realized Caribou Barbie couldn’t remember the script, that there was no way in H-E-double-hockey sticks he could prompt her, and that he could kiss good-bye any hope he had of enhancing his career with “special insider access” for the next four years; because he would be forever condemned as another “Librul” MSM hack for “pressuring,” “intimidating,” “scaring” or otherwise not being deferential to the “little lady.”
