Since it has been announced that Charlie Gibson and ABC News have been made the chosen ones by the Republicans, Gibson and his staff surely are cramming for this much-anticipated meeting every bit as much as Governor American Idol is. Since Gibson and his staff surely have their hands full, we should help them out by suggesting questions they should ask, particularly ones related to the evidence that is bringing us to the realization that Palin is looking more and more like President Bush with each passing day. The evidence and questions that need to be asked are not hard to find.
Here’s the front page for ABC News-World News to leave comments and suggestions. If someone finds a better link, please leave it in comments. I will not be able to update the diary today.
Why aren't the Obama campaign and the Democrats screaming bloody murder about the kid glove treatment? Palin is being protected and rewarded for her lack of heft on issues important to us here in the Lower 49. Conversely, those who were vetted the 18-month grind of a primary campaign are being punished.
Erroneous information is part of any vetting and investigation in progress. Thomas Eagleton's fiasco in 1972 was accompanied by a lot of mis-information, and that revolved around only one aspect of Eagleton's past.
Since the Republicans sprung the Alaska governor on the nation at the 10th or 11th hour and both party and governor have been somewhat less than forthcoming about her past, it is disingenuous at best to complain about erroneous information or blur it with the facts to make it out to be a smear campaign. They have no right to complain about a vetting in process that will invariably come up with a few clinkers, particularly while they are doing their best to stiff-arm it.
Let's help Charlie Gibson and ABC News get this right.
