The Left's botched "Gotcha"

The liberal media is all aflutter now. They think they have proven that Sarah Palin is unqualified to be the Vice-Commander-in-Chief.

During Mrs Palin's interview with ABC news' Charlie Gibson, he asked, "Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?"

She replied, with all honesty (unlike most politicians) "In what respect, Charlie?"

Thinking he finally had her, and barely able to hide his glee, he eventually told her, that the Bush Doctrine "is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense." The New York Times reported that Mr Gibson "sounded like an inpatient teacher" as he lectured the naive Mrs Palin.

Unfortunately for Mr Gibson, he was wrong. According to Charles Krauthammer, the man who coined the term "Bush Doctrine", the term has had four definitions throughout the Bush administration, and that the currently acceptable definition is most certainly NOT the one used by the arrogant Mr Gibson.

The Bush Doctrine is "the fundamental mission of American foreign policy is to spread democracy throughout the world."

Perhaps in their attempt to aid their messiah, Barak Obama, Mr Gibson's writers should have spent a bit more time on the Internet doing research. Go Sarah Palin!
