He comes up with an odd opinion on things from time to time, but he always has his facts lined up. Krauthammer is generally acknowledged to be the first person of note to use the term "Bush doctrine", and he used it in regard to ABMs and Kyoto.
The term evolved over time, but was never well defined, especially while Bush was still in office, which is when Gibson played gotcha with it. The question puzzled a lot of other people at the time.

Chris, that program for retired Alaskan's is news to me 
Her negotiations with the oil industry to obtain royalties for Alaskan's are one area I have seen her praised. We've been through this subject before. No reason to carry this on. Old news.
The media placed the dummy tag on her, just like they have done before.
Dan Quayle got it, for a misspelling and Obama does the same thing and it means nothing.
The media controls the narrative. This includes Tina Fey and the idiots who are accomplices in the conspiracy that is Democratic politics.
On that note, Sharyl Attkisson resigned from CBS news today. She was on the wrong side of the Benghazi story.......... |
Two points, I don't anybody who thought she was dumb. Mis and uninformed is more like it . Maybe not as quick on her feet as some. But not dumb. She is probably as smart as any politician.
Isn't the term Royalities just a fancy word for taxes on the oil taken from Alaska? Isn't the program for older Alaskans socialism?

I am not clear about the point that Krauthammer was trying to make in the article that JustRalph posted.
Ok...so the term "Bush Doctrine" evolved over time...and it had taken on multiple meanings. Shouldn't Palin have been familiar with at least ONE of them?

Really, Obama did the same thing? He watched some kid write "respect" on the blackboard, and he told the kid he was wrong, better change it to "rspect"?
Now that would be funny. 
Oh, and then when they pulled down the US map, he could say, "Durrrr, this must be an old map, where are the other seven states??"

you must have missed this Fantastic

I still don't understand that if the first guy to ever use something in print, suddenly has no idea what it means.
So what is the Obama Doctrine? don't ask what you can do for the country, ask what the country can do for you..

The article implied asking "what aspect?" was appropriate because there wasn't a consensus on what the "Bush Doctrine" meant at that time. But rather than giving her a more specific question, the interviewer (being biased) tried to make her look foolish.
I don't doubt she was looking for a more specific question, but it's not clear if that was because she was aware of the multi use of that term or because she didn't know what it meant at all. In any case, I see that as a case of ignorance or not being ready for prime time, not an issue of intelligence.
If the left had made the case she wasn't ready, I think that would have been quite acceptable to all. But the left was on an all out search and destroy mission because she was a relatively young, very attractive, conservative woman, that had riled up the convention and core with her speech. That was not good for the left. So they destroyed her.

The left did what they had to do...what the right would have done.
The responsibility in what happened falls squarely at the feet of the GOP for putting her up to begin with.
Unfortunately, in this day and age, the GOP is left with the unique problem of putting up a PERFECT CANDIDATE. And when I mean PERFECT, we are talking absolutely 100% perfect. Perfect in looks...perfect in stature...perfect hair...perfect mix of nationalities...perfect cadence...super-human intelligence...and on and on and on...you get the picture...
Nothing else will be seen as acceptable from the opposition, which, unfortunately, also happens to control the media dialogue in this country. This, despite the fact that right-leaning programming always seems to get higher ratings.
Go figure.

No, he couldn't even get it right when it is a song and he couldn't even sign it right.
Ever wonder how the idiot would do with the alphabet?

Oh, and let's not forget, this is the same mental midget who said that we give breathalizers to kids with asthma.

Was it a multiple choice question?
Because it had different meaning and evolve, it in effect did not exist. She answered correctly.
The question was stupid, asked a known dimwit.

The looney-birds get 100% of their demographic watching only one station, Fox News, so yes they have the highest ratings.

You should hang around with Sara......it might improve you IQ a few points.
Your posts are showing your lack of, shall we say, reality? A?

If the right gets higher ratings then the left isn't doing a very good job of controlling, is it?

Unless they are military kids. Then we just call a corpse man.
