Why does Palin speak with a Canadian accent?

Palin didn't know the Bush Doctrine...

BULLSHIT! She obviously knew more about it than Charlie Gibson! He apparently thought there was only one version of it, and you apparently think it is some written document that Palin should have memorized before the interview. I would venture to bet, before the interview, we could have surveyed pinheads and found a vast majority of you didn't have a clue as to what the Bush Doctrine was, or what it said. She asked Gibson for clarification, which was appropriate, since he didn't specify WHAT ASPECT of the Bush Doctrine he was asking about!

She didn't know what he was talking about. The reaction was clear.

I don't care that Gibson didn't know either. He's not going to be a heartbeat from the Presidency.

No she isn't ready. But why is Biden always praised for his foreign policy knowledge, he voted for Iraq and he has made saber rattling against Pakistan, a nuclear ally (albeit not a great ally but still). It's a fair question to ask just how well has experience played out in past action?

Knowledge & judgment are 2 different things; you're shifting the debate.

Biden has a ton of knowledge on foreign policy; we'll see that Thursday night. I have little doubt that you won't find agreement with him on every judgment he has made. I hate that he, Edwards, Clinton & the rest voted yes on that Iraq resolution, but I disagree w/ your assessment of his comments on Pakistan.

We could probably argue the merits of his foreign policy decisions & ideas all day, but at least he has 'em.

Let's be clear here... a "gaffe" is when you say something valid, but it has the unintended consequence of being somewhat offensive, or politically incorrect.... Like; "You can't go into a convenience store without having a slight Indian accent." ...that was a "gaffe" and Biden is famous for those.

When you lament endlessly on how FDR went on television during the Great Depression, that is beyond being a simple "gaffe" ...that is even beyond Dan Quayle's idea of how to spell "potato" ...that is just pure uneducated stupidity on a grand scale.

Palin doesn't "lack knowledge" at all. I think her biggest problem right now, is the McCain campaign handlers. They have probably filled her head with all kinds of absolute shit, things she mustn't say, things she should avoid talking about, and things she should try to always get in, when she does speak. IF they would just let Palin be Palin, she would be much better. In any event, I don't think you can very well criticize her for "dumbness" compared to the unprecedented bar set by Joe Biden thus far. She has not said anything remotely close to being as utterly stupid and uneducated as Biden, and so far, she hasn't managed to offend any entire group of people with famous 'gaffes' or off-color commentary.

At least Dixie finally admits Palin has a problem. Last week he was saying she did just fine in the intervews.

She didn't know what aspect or 'version' of the Bush Doctrine, because he didn't say! MORON! What part of that are you not fucking understanding? If someone asks, "Do you like pie?" and you respond, "what kind of pie?" Does it mean you don't know what pie is? What you idiots did, was jump on this before you did any research, and now you look idiotic. You apparently thought "The Bush Doctrine" was some specifically defined policy that was set in stone and should be understood universally by anyone in politics. That is simply not the case! There are as many as four various versions and interpretations of the Bush Doctrine, and none of them are forged into a formal documentation defined as The Bush Doctrine. How the fuck is Sarah Palin supposed to assume what the idiot meant, unless he clarified what the fuck he was talking about? She is a goddamn governor, not a psychic!

Only you and about 4 other koolaid drenched rubes think she was just "clarifying."

She had no clue; her response after she asked him "in what respect" made that crystal clear. She had never heard of the Bush Doctrine.

And how do you feel about "Putin rearing his head in Alaskan airspace," anyway? Was that because of the liberal bias in the question?

I think you would have to be on your level of mental retardation to believe she had never heard of the Bush Doctrine. "In what respect?" is vastly different than "The Bush what?" I think she knows and understands more than Charlie Gibson knew, or you idiots know about the various interpretations and aspects of what is defined as the Bush Doctrine, and that was what is 'evident' by her response.

Alaska is essentially bordered by Russia, and Putin does indeed fly into US air space from time to time, and Palin, as Commander in Chief of the Alaska Air National Guard, does have to confront this issue from time to time. How do I feel about that? Well, I think it gives her vastly MORE "foreign policy experience" than some rookie Senator with no experience of any kind, who was a 'community organizer' in Chicago once.
 
Here's the rest of the interview, after she asked "what respect?"

"GIBSON: The Bush — well, what do you interpret it to be?

PALIN: His world view?

GIBSON: No, the Bush doctrine, annunciated September 2002, before the Iraq War.

PALIN: I believe that what President Bush has attempted to do is rid this world of Islamic extremism, terrorists who are hell-bent on destroying our nation. There have been blunders along the way, though. There have been mistakes made, and with new leadership, and that’s the beauty of American elections, of course, and democracy, is with new leadership comes opportunity to do things better."

Read it. Weep.

She had no clue.

Sounds to me like Gibson had no clue. Bush never enunciated anything he called "the Bush Doctrine" ...so what the fuck was the idiot asking about? How the fuck is Palin supposed to know what the fuck the idiot was asking about? I think she gave the best answer possible to a stupid uninformed question.

Biden has a ton of knowledge on foreign policy;

Biden used to be pretty sharp on foreign policy....if his conclusions are consistant, he and Palin should agree on quite a bit....
-----------------------------------------------

Biden on Meet the Press in 2002, discussing Saddam Hussein: “He’s a long term threat and a short term threat to our national security… “We have no choice but to eliminate the threat. This is a guy who is an extreme danger to the world.”

Biden on Meet the Press in 2002: “Saddam must be dislodged from his weapons or dislodged from power.”

Biden on Meet the Press in 2007, on Hussein’s WMDs: “Well, the point is, it turned out they didn’t, but everyone in the world thought he had them. The weapons inspectors said he had them. He catalogued — they catalogued them. This was not some, some Cheney, you know, pipe dream. This was, in fact, catalogued.”

Biden to the Brookings Institution in 2005: “We can call it quits and withdraw from Iraq. I think that would be a gigantic mistake.
 
There is no such thing as a "Bush Doctrine"....its a creation of the MSM and it means different things to different people....and Palin made Gibson look the fool he is....

Dixie, come on, she had no clue, and it appears neither do you.

It appears you're not quite grasping this. There is no document defined or titled "The Bush Doctrine." Do you understand this? Can you comprehend this? It is a term coined by Charles Krauthammer, to define the Bush Policy regarding preemptive strike, but later became associated with other aspects of the overall war on terror. In other words, the term "Bush Doctrine" is subjective in meaning, and can be defined in several ways, depending on the aspect you are discussing, and who it's being discussed with. When asked how she felt about the Bush Bush doctrine, Palin didn't respond by asking "what is that?" She appropriately asked Gibson for confirmation of what aspect he was referring to, because it certainly has relevance as to what her answer would be. Just as, if I asked you... "Jarhead, do you like pie?" If you generically answered, "YES!" Then could I assume you like Cow Shit Pies? What if you were allergic to blueberry but loved apple pie? Could you answer my question without asking, what kind of pie? Would your asking me for this clarification mean that you had no idea what a pie was?


Look, I know you guys are trying really hard to get something... ANYTHING... to stick to Palin, but this is about the stupidest thing since the story of her DS child belonging to her daughter. There is no basis for it, and it's not going to fly, because generally informed people know good and damn well, she knows and understands what the Bush Doctrine is, and if they watched the interview, they know good and damn well, she was asking a legitimate question of Gibson, who, like yourself, doesn't seem to have a clue.
 
YOu know Monroe didn't call his plan to be the power in North America the Monroe Doctrine EITHER Dixie. But like the Bush doctrine is called that by OTHERS it was called the Monroe Doctrine by others. History not one of your strong suits huh Dixie?

I don't know what sort of "accent" she has -- sort of backwoodsy casual poor elocution something, very unprofessional and hardly confidence-inspiring -- but it's not Canadian. Take it from one who knows (and has been teased plenty over my pronunciation of the "ou" words like "about", and "orange", and "sorry", and "produce" (the noun), etc., etc. I haven't said "eh" since crossing the border though, and it wasn't even difficult.

Palin almost sounds like a Kentuckian. Embaressment.
