Two of the best comments I have seen about the Gibson/Palin interview:"She had me at hello Charley-- had me scared to death....a series of knowledge and logic gaps that ought to shake every foreign policy specialist, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, to his or her roots." -- Norman Ornstein
"We’ve seen what happens when 'the average person' becomes president. The world is simply too complex to do that again. She wants to be a heartbeat away from becoming the leader of the free world behind a 72 year old man with a recurrent deadly illness and she gives answers like she’s in a beauty pageant and hasn’t even followed the news enough over the last 6 years to know what the Bush Doctrine is. It’s fine for the average person not to know, but it’s not fine for someone who could become President at any moment, any more than it’s fine for your pediatric oncologist to say, 'Ah, gee whiz, I don’t read what’s in those fancy medical magazines—I just give it my all and pray a lot when I see a sick child.' Time for a second opinion." -- Drew Westen
[UPDATE: A wonderful explanation on why her cluelessness of the Bush doctrine actually matters.]

Leave her alone. She may not know the "Bush doctrine" but she can field dress a moose on the hood of a ford bronco faster than you can say WMD...
