Rather typical of what. My post of Joe Klein's piece noting the right wing attack mode that Krauthammer had adopted is the best answer. You need, as I said, only imagine K's writing if the Dems had nominated such a patently unprepared candidate.

BP, Krauthammer was being silly. The Bush Doctrine was formalized in an administration white paper released in September 2002. Just because Krauthammer may have used the phrase prior to that release--and prior to the West Point speech--doesn't mean that what he said at that earlier time was what the term came to mean to the great majority of people. He was just wrong about this, and I suspect he knows it, but since he likes to give himself a pat on the back, and he wants to atone for not seeing the "brilliance" of the Palin pick from the beginning (as you know, I'm sure, he was opposed to it at first), he is trying his best to defend her now. So you honestly believe that she showed depth of thought about foreign policy in that interview? If so, we'll have to agree to disagree on that.
