no he isn't he is being attack for acting snotting towards her. You should hear the women calling into talk shows about it. His BS questions to Obama and his repeated attacks against Palin, showed Americans how biased he is.

Hubris Revealed:Charlie Gibson’s Sarah Palin Interview stoptheaclu.com archives/ 2008/ 09/ 11/ hubris-revealedcharlie-gibsons-sa... A note from Radarsite: It is a rare event that will bring me to watch MSM these days. Tonight’s Charlie Gibson interview with Gov. Sarah Palin was one of these exceptions. And I am still trying to get the bad taste out of my mouth. If I ever doubted my reasons for refusing to watch the Big Three MSM networks, tonight’s stain on the face of objective journalism did more than enough to confirm it. There was indeed great hubris revealed during this first interview. But not the hubris of Sarah Palin’s response that she did feel comfortable about her qualifications for the job of Vice President — or, if necessary the President of the United States.

Hubris was indeed revealed in the ABC interview with Sarah Palin, and it wasn't coming from Sarah Palin, but Charlie Gibson. But there was more than Charlie's sneering condescending tone, looking down over the rim of his glasses like some snobby intellectual that bothered me. Twisting her words into a fabrication feeding the fear of theocracy was utterly insulting. It was especially insulting to claim that these were her "exact words" after being challenged on it. Watch this video excerpt from the interview to see the exchange. Here is the transcript of the exchange: GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war? PALIN: You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote. GIBSON: Exact words. PALIN: But the reference there is a repeat of Abraham Lincoln’s words when he said — first, he suggested never presume to know what God’s will is, and I would never presume to know God’s will or to speak God’s words. But what Abraham Lincoln had said, and that’s a repeat in my comments, was let us not pray that God is on our side in a war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God’s side. That’s what that comment was all about, Charlie. GIBSON: I take your point about Lincoln’s words, but you went on and said, “There is a plan and it is God’s plan.” Actually, Charlie, that is totally untrue. Here is what she actually said: “Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.” Here is a tip for the future Charlie. Try not to rely on the AP for your "exact quotes". It makes you look like a total fool, especially after condescendingly insisting you are correct.

I think he did an excellent job. It was his job to throw tough questions at her and prove either that she is, the bimbo the lizzies of the world alleged her to be, who would fall completely to pieces when challenged by the most respected tough interviewer available or that she is a competent political spokes person able to handle life in the hot seat with dignity and grace. And the latter was proven to be true. She should abandon her hunting rifle and go with a side arm. She can shoot from the hip with the best of em.
