More to come

Click here to watch the second portion of Gov. Palin's sit-down interview with Charlie Gibson. It's quite interesting to learn more about this relatively unknown figure in politics. Gibson and Palin discuss earmarks, abortion, gun control and Hillary in the latest interview. Frankly, this woman scares me.

Exclusive Palin interview

Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin sat down for a much anticipated exclusive interview with Charlie Gibson in her home state of Alaska last night. The full interview hasn't been posted online as of yet, but click here to watch selected clips of the governor in the hot seat.

She looked like a student who pulled an all-nighter to cram for the big test the next day, except instead of an all-nighter she had a good two weeks to prepare. At points, specifically when Gibson brought up the Bush Doctrine, I thought her brain was going to implode.

Reprimanding the media is never a smart tack

So GOP campaign manager Rick Davis lets us know that VP nom Sarah Palin would agree to an interview "when we think it's time and when she feels comfortable doing it."

"Why would we want to throw Sarah Palin into a cycle of piranhas called the news media that have nothing better to ask questions about than her personal life and her children?" said David. 

"Until...we feel like the news media is going to treat her with some level of respect and deference, I think it would be foolhardy to put her out into that kind of environment."

Yeah, you're right. Ya know, with less than two months before Election Day, naturally, the American public is going to agree with that. We don't really want to know anything about this governor of less than 2 years from the frozen tundra of nowhere who just came into the spotlight and might potentially have to run the country for the next 4 to 8 years, but, of course, the likelihood of that is slim being that Republican presidential hopeful McCain is 72 years young and has had cancer before. 

Take your time, GOP! Wait until she's comfortable, please. After all, if the American population decides to elect the next presidential ticket as hastily as you chose your running mate, John, then I'm sure we'll be in good hands.

In the words of Stephen Colbert, "Seriously though, 9/11."

Gov. Palin will be appearing on ABC with softballer Charlie Gibson later this week. Don't hurt her feelings, Chuck.
