dang. i wish i had the power to edit everything i have ever said in public. especially if i had said it on national tv! sarah palin does. if you go to the abc website to watch the sarah palin interview with charlie gibson, you can no longer see the potential veep-er tell charlie gibson that she is "ready from day one" on foreign policy because "you can see russia from parts of alaska. it's right over there, charlie." and saddest of all, she no longer has to worry about not knowing what "the bush doctrine" is. we don't even get to hear her call mr. gibson "charlie" twice in every sentence. so... anyone still in a knot over a so-called "liberal media" can rest their collective sphincters. the interview has been white-washed. she still looks like a vapid twit, but the really good parts have been removed. the bits about holy war, and other little foibles that would illustrate what a dangerous nut we are being offered.
i must say that i am disappointed. the last thing we as a country need to do politically is buy a pig in a poke. even if she is wearing lipstick.
and yes. i did just call sarah palin a pig. obama didn't.
update: conservatives are squealing across the board that the interview was edited to make her look stupid by excerpting parts that make her look like she has a grip. maybe we'll get to see the whole interview and can make up our minds.
