Palin Blanks on Bush Doctrine, Sexism to Blame

By Chris Nolan, Firedoglake. Posted September 12, 2008.


It's time for the McCain campaign to grow up and lay off the hazing.

Okay, enough is enough. John McCain's team has got to stop messing with Sarah Palin. I mean, this is getting sexist. They totally set up America's ruby lipped hockey mom by not telling her what the Bush Doctrine was before her 9/11 interview with Charlie Gibson!



Digg!

She is truly ready to be the VP and be a heartbeat away from becoming President. This woman is nothing more than a figurative succubus feeding off of McCain's mad desire to become POTUS.

shows all the signs of being a meat puppet for Karl Rove Enterprises, which clearly makes her excellent material for Executive position under the PNAC system.

Oh pleeeez Joe, when you go one on one with this harpy, don't be a gent, ignore calls of "no fair!" and kick his frozen patootie all the way to Alaska - she's about due to make another little Repug, anyway.

Ruby lipped..yep, it's getting sexist.. on the left for sure. Has anyone referred to Obama as that big eared funny lipped organizer?

Imagine if, in the context of foreign policy experience, "Charlie" had asked her about the "Powell Doctrine"...

CHARLIE: "...so, let's move on to foreign policy. Can you tell me how your positions and beliefs coincide or conflict with the Powell Doctrine?"

SARAH: "...umm, yes, Powell was an important person in the development of our country's values..."

CHARLIE: "...yes, so where do you stand on his doctrine?"...


SARAH: "well, you know, Charlie, Alaska was settled and actually became part of the United States during the Powell Doctrine years...he's the reason we're not sitting in Canada right this moment..."

Is that this is an interview with CHARLES GIBSON, easily one of the top "A-list Softball Lobbers" to republican candidates.

She CLEARLY didn't say, "In what respect Charles" she said "throw me a bone here, please, Charles", and he did. He defined it for her, and she was still unable to discuss it.

Funny thing is, given the new "McCain/Palin BRAND of CHANGE", she could have said, "well, Charles, we are the campaign of change, and we intend to make a break with the entrenched policies of the past", and he would have given her a "bye" on it.

So are you sayin' that LIL OL' ME is more knowledgable about foreign policy than the person who could potentially be a heartbeat away from the presidency of arguably the most powerful nation on the face of the entire planet?!?!?!?!?

Well what should I expect, my goldfish is smarter than the current president of arguably the most powerful nation on the face of the entire planet.

OH but I know I'm supposed to consider this the smashing of the glass ceiling. Oh please stop, my eyes can't roll any further into my head without causing some kind of damage.
