Off to Iowa to celebrate the union of my friends Leigh and Louis, so light posting this weekend.
However, your weekend homework is to watch Charlie Gibson give a fairly substantive interview with Gov. Sarah Palin.
I honestly must say, I was shocked by the absolute lack of knowledge she showed. It was eerily reminiscent of our current President circa 1999. Not knowing what the Bush Doctrine of preemptive war is unacceptable, for someone who wants be the leader of the free world or is within a heartbeat of that weighty postision.
Also you should be able to argue how it differs from the previous foreign policy stance of the United States, whether you agree with it or not. This is the bedrock that the Iraq war was prosecuted on. That is not something you can be ignorant of and want to be President. Yes I am talking to you "Wal-mart Moms".
-cheers
