Tonight, I was watching the ABC interview with Vice Presidential Candidate, Gov. Sarah Palin. An observant listener may have noticed that Gov. Palin couldn’t answer any of Charlie Gibson’s questions. Furthermore, at times it seemed she didn’t even know what Mr. Gibson was talking about. For example, “Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?” Amazingly, even after Mr. Gibson spelled out the Bush Doctrine for Gov. Palin, she still offered no opinion.
Gov. Palin presents herself as being just an ordinary, small town American. Having been raised in a small town myself, I am quite familiar with the no-nonsense attitudes of my friends and neighbors. One thing that I can say about my small town is that everybody is able to offer a genuine, unequivocal opinion. Gov. Palin wasn’t able to offer an opinion on any of the foreign policy questions asked by Mr. Gibson. It makes me wonder if she’s ever really considered any issue that, while affecting the rest of the world, didn’t cross her executive desk.
Sarah Smalltown would have been passionate and direct. Who is Sarah Palin?
P.S. Ankles crossed, knees together, sit up straight, look him in the eyes – grace and poise. Grace and poise!
