Link: Palin Interview With Charles Gibson
This is actually pretty sad. I know this is a small portion of the interview that was selected but she really disappoints me with her answers.
She showed no backbone at all and totally backed off her “mission from God” comments. Either she believes it is or she doesn’t - she shouldn’t hide her beliefs for political expediance; were I a devout Christian I’d be disappointed she was a coward about her beliefs.
Then she tried to BS her way through the Bush Doctrine question. I didn’t know what the Bush Doctrine was - but I’m not running for Vice President, I’m not a Governer so, while sad, it isn’t my job to know this stuff - it is her job to understand the basis of our current foreign policy decisions.
I tried to withhold any judgement about her until I heard what she actually had to say that wasn’t a stump speach - Now that I have I’m unimpressed. My party has failed me yet again.
