Go Charlie Gibson! Great interview of Sarah Palin last night — smart, pointed, and damn effective — it just shows what you can get out of ...

While Palin has stepped back from her position two weeks ago, it still falls short of McCain's position and the position of the scientific community, that human emissions are very likely the primary cause of warming.

If you watched the Palin interview and weren't scared out of your mind, then you're mentally ill. What you are not is responsible, informed, thoughtful, mature, educated, empathetic, or remotely serious.

If Joe Biden had said this on national TV, the election would be over. But if Sarah doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is, well, my goodness, neither do a lot of hardworking, God-fearing hockey moms.

It seems to me the lede should have been something about Gov. Palin's lack of familiarity with something that's been talked about for years in foreign policy circles: the Bush Doctrine.

Americans have been warned. If McCain and Palin are elected, they will make the Bush administration look like a dress rehearsal for what's coming. They aren't as bad as Bush. They're worse.

All in all, Gov. Palin responded to over eighty of the ABC newsman's questions with only three answers, believed to be a record for a nationally broadcast interview with a major political figure.

From joking about bombing Iran, to talking about invading Iraq, Iran and Syria weeks after 9/11 to the misguided "we are all Georgians now," the McCain campaign is sending all kinds of horrifying signals to the world about the types of wars it would fight.

So let me get this straight: if Russia finds itself in a war over another frozen conflict, we will go to war? Does Sarah Palin understand the danger of that statement?

There's no doubt that Obama makes news differently than McCain. But there's a difference between covering candidates equally and meticulously allotting them equal time and coverage.
Jeff Cohen | Posted 06.29.2008 | Media
When longtime media lapdogs on campaign inequities transform into fierce watchdogs in the face of Obama's online fundraising clout, the public is wise to be suspicious.
