Surprisingly, Charlie Gibson didn’t spend as much time performing charlielingus on Sarah Palin as expected, but this sounds like fun:
When asked by Gibson if under the NATO treaty, the U.S. would have to go to war if Russia again invaded Georgia, Palin responded: "Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you’re going to be expected to be called upon and help.
"And we’ve got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable," she told ABC News’ Charles Gibson.
Oh jeebus, here it comes:
Judging by the hair, I think that was Palin in the light blue parka…

Currently “God” told SaraBara to file an ethics investigation against herself, to attempt to shunt the investigation away from a public one in Alaska Senate Judiciary to a closed one with the Personnel Board all appointed by and beholden to Palin. It’s assumed “God” could get a presspass to the closed personnel investigation Palin wants. In other words, the game plan for Palin-McCain as it has now become with the twit doppleganger always at McCain’s side is to say with respect to the investigation called Trooper Gate–screw you drop it!
With repspect to the Americans’ rights to frequent interviews several times a week by the voters and the press for both McCain and Palin the MO is to say “screw you drop it!”
We have a Vice Presidential candidate that has been fed generic answers who, like Clarence Thomas at oral argument, knows she is too stupid to expose herself to anything spontaneous.
Thomas totally unqualified for the S. Ct. refuses to ask any questions at oral argument while the other justices trip all over each other to get their questions in, and extraordinarily McCain and Palin are minimizing any question opportunities for the people or the press to next to none.
The only aspect of the Bush doctrine that the systemically ignorant twit Palin knows is that she pronounces the word nuclear similar to Bush, saying “nucuooooolar” every time.
The near senile Gibson should have corrected her on her pronunciation so that she at least learned one thing from the joke of an interview.
There are a few givens in the Steve Schmidt playbook.
1) Lie all the time.
2) Tell Alaska’s Senate Judiciary it can take it’s investigation and shove it–unless they go to court and force those seven depositions they aren’t happening in a bilateral fashion. Palin’s lawyer will continue to conduct his own unilateral depositions, Palin will continue to ignore the investigation, and none of her posse is going to cooperate.
3) Give two groups, voters and the media no access whatsoever. She looked dumb as a rock even with Charlie Gibson who lacks the capacity to ask prescient, probing questions and demonstrated that he lacks the capacity on the mini tete a tete on ABC World News and on Nightline to air later tonight.
“God” doesn’t will the Troopergate investigation to go forward and “God” doesn’t will Sarah Barracuda to answer any spontaneous questions because “God” is being a bad girl or boy and won’t put any cogent thoughts into SaraBara’s pudding mushbrain head.
SaraBara is perplexed as to what “God’s” plan for this world is, but she knows her son is going to Iraq for Life, Liberty, pursuit of happiness, and failure after six years to distribute oil rights in Iraq because “God” is not knocking heads together.
And thanks to “Campaign Silo” for going the way of Kim Jong-Il and trying to censor comments categorically as to who makes them rather than the merits of what is said with a cowardly anonymous censor.

That’d be anonymous cowardly moderator approval.
LOL on the charlielingus. In Red Dawn, the good news was they didn’t even have to cancel the Friday Night football game.
The Gibson interview has already overturned one misconception. Palin doesn’t wear THAT much lipstick for a pig.
That’s Just What I Said
Wolverines!
Say, if I was a greedy and aggressive Russkie president, Alaska — population less than damn near anything worth defending — looks like a good place to start an invasion, I mean border dispute. I wonder how prepared the CinC of the Alaska National Guard is for such an event? It’s not like the degenerates and weaklings in the lower 48 will be of any use. Nice resource-rich state you got there, sister: be a shame if something happened to it.
“Mama would be real proud.”
Was that Levi?
It comforts me to know that VP Palin will be on the front lines. McLame will most likely be in an undisclosed location.
Them Russkies are probably cowerin’ at the thought. Have they endorsed Obama yet?
Imagine how little would be left of the harpy if a real journalist interviewed her? Good grief she was just awful. I was positive she knew nothing, but did expect a bit more artful attempt at pretending to be a statesman. No she was in full panic mode and stunk up the room. No Miss Congeniality this round dearie.
Roger Ebert had op-ed that dismissed her as unfit for the job. He likened her to the American Idol candidate: sunny, ambitious, and quite talented…for a reality show, not the bigs. Well said Roger.
Seems these critics make fine political commenter’s. Wolcott, Rich and now Ebert.
So I agree that was no doubt our Miss Caribou in the blue Parka, but the running away from men with bad intents–wouldn’t she consider that
rutting seasondate night in Alaska? And wouldn’t she have “asked for it”, anyway?I think Palin’s Russia Doctrine is to go over Putin’s head and pressure Mikhail Kasyanov to fire him. That’s the way she handled “unsupportive” people in Alaska.
It’s interesting to see that teaching Palin neocon correctness is not quite enough. There is some slight nuance to how one comes on as a McCain or Bush. It’s like there’s both an art and a science to batshit-crazy.
Unfortunately for all of us, she’s Taylor Hicks.
um. unprovoked?
like there Georgia was … minding its own business … when suddently Putin busted down the door, started shooting then went into the kitchen to make a sammich???
Yes. She’s apparently clueless about what Georgia did and our role in it. Gibson missed an opportunity there.
When did Georgia join NATO?
When did Georgia join NATO?
Heh.
Alaska’s gonna be really easy pickings for the Russkies if they go ahead and secede first. How did that AIP think that was going to work out?
