They already started spinning the debate. The phony journalists, propaganda pundits on major networks and minor cable news shows are hoping you did not watch the debate so you will believe whatever they say about it.
She was warm, fresh, funny, confident, energetic, personable, relentless, and on message. She roasted Obama’s flip-flops on the surge and tea-with-dictators declarations, dinged Biden’s bash-Bush rhetoric, challenged the blame-America defeatism of the Left, and exuded the sunny optimism that energized the base in the first place.
I was surprised to see that shaky, bad editing job when I watched the interview. Now I know why... So-called main-stream media -- what I call phony media -- dropped all their journalistic pretensions and decided to become Michael Moore. Yes folks, Gibson is using the same tricks Moore uses on his propaganda films.Â
From now on, conservative republicans should only agree to an interview with a phony media journalist only if the phony journalist agrees that either interview is shown as is, no editing or edited version must be approved first.
Second thing all conservative republicans should do everytime they are asked a question is to ask the phony journalist to clarify and justify the assumptions that particular question based on. Â Put the phony journalist on the spot and force him/her to defend the idiotic assumptions that are based on liberal propaganda.
A transcript of the unedited interview of Sarah Palin by Charles Gibson clearly shows that ABC News edited out crucial portions of the interview that showed Palin as knowledgeable or presented her answers out of context.
I saw bits and pieces of phony journalist Gibson's interview with Governor Sarah Palin. He is a joke! He pretends to act like a professor quizzing one of his pupils -- one he is not particularly fond of.
Do you remember how he behaved and what type of questions he asked when he was interviewing Obama -- The One -- about Hilary's charges that Obama is inexperienced?
Gibson set up the March 6 World News piece: "This afternoon, I had a chance to speak with Senator Obama and I asked him about the Clinton argument that he lacks the credentials to be Commander in Chief."
Gibson's questions to Obama:
# "You've had a few hours, day and a half, now, to analyze the results on Tuesday. What happened on Tuesday? A lot of people thought there was a chance you could close the deal on Tuesday. Was it her contention that you are too young, too inexperienced to be Commander in Chief?"
# "You made the point on your campaign plane yesterday, you said she went negative in the last few days of that. To fight back, do you have to do the same? In other words, do you have to, in effect, show some toughness in all of this, greater than you have so far?"
# "She said Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience to the campaign. 'I will bring a lifetime of experience to the campaign. Senator Obama will bring a speech that he made in 2002.' Now, she said that before. But it's pretty in-your-face. I wonder your reaction?"
# "Senator, you're kind to take the time, on a day when you legitimately should be able to simply just take long naps. I thank you. All the best to you."
Do I really need to point out the bias, strike that, outright puff job on this one and outright hack job on Governor Palin interview?

I hope John McCain doesn’t throw his slippers at Sarah Palin’s head or get as acerbic as Henry Higgins did with Eliza Doolittle when she did not learn quickly enough. McCain’s Pygmalion has to be careful, because his Galatea might be armed with more than a sharp tongue.
Wow! Being a gun and religion clinging ordinary American, this is way over my head...
Sarah, who is now so renowned that she is known merely by one name and has a name ID of 90 percent, has to be a Kmart mom who appeals to Kmart moms and dads.
What is it with you arrogant, condescending liberal elites? I thought you detested Wal-mart moms and dads. What is the difference between Wal-mart folks and Kmart folks? Why is Sarah Palin a Kmart mom not a Wal-mart mom? What should she do to impress you Ms. Dowd? Would you like her better if she was to become a Nordstrom gal or arigula eating Whole Foods woman?
Kmart and Wal-mart work hard to provide us with affordable goods. We Kmart moms and dads work hard, raise our children and do all the things ordinary Americans do to make a living. We don't have jobs like yours Ms. Dowd. We don't get to be paid high dollars to dream up and write smart-ass stuff about other Americans, Ms. Dowd.
I watched Sarah Palin's past debate videos. This liberal idiot Dowd, like all other liberal maggots, is dreaming about Sarah Palin crumbling under their phony investigative journalism. Sarah is actually playing rope-a-dope. Wait and see folks. They are underestimating a "Kmart mom", whatever that means.
Ms. Maureen Dowd wants to know all the dirt, rumor anyone can find about the Republican Veep Nominee. How come she has no curiosity when it comes to liberal democRATs' presidential nominee? Forget his anti-american friends and church, forget Tony Rezko, forget Blackwell Consulting, forget University of Chicago Hospitals and his wife's cushy, high-paid job there, forget that he was dead wrong on surge in Iraq just watching Obama on TV for the last week or so Ms. Dowd; don't you wonder that the guy has completely lost his mojo? He is not half the man Sarah Palin is. Maureen Dowd, you are not half the woman Sarah Palin is either.
I hope the American women is paying attention and finally seeing what a sham these feminists are. Unless you women are not enthusiastic about aborting your babies, unless you do not subscribe to leftist agenda, you will always be detested. Regardless of the successes you achieve, unless you become a follower of all liberal stupid ideas, you will still be called Kmart moms and looked down upon.
What is darling Michelle Obama's achievement? Ivy league schools. How did she get in those schools? Cushy jobs with mumbo-jumbo titles. How did she get these jobs? Don't you think her husband Obama's job as a smart politician helped her land those jobs and salary increases? Aren't you a little curious Maureen Dowd? Is this what modern feminists like yourself celebrate now? How pathetic a maggot you are!
