LiveBlog: Sarah Palin's Coming Out Interview
7:00 – This probably didn't do Palin any good or any bad. Total break even situation.
My guess is that we'll hear a lot of wildly divergent takes on this series of interviews over the next few days.
Like Plain herself, people will read into this what they please.
6:59 – Well, that was underwhelming. Too short. Questions shaped too similarly like softballs. Lots of rambling, and at least one scary comment about Israel.
But, on the other hand, she spoke in complete sentences, she didn't shoot Gibson in the face, and she clearly knew Charlie's name. And that's all she really needed to accomplish.
6:58 – Let's not talk about my crazy comment about God. Let's talk about my son going to Iraq instead.
6:57 – Oooooo! Crazy Christian talk!
6:56 – Finally!
6:55 – Argh! Come on. Bring back the goddamn interview that's boring me to tears.
6:53 – Thank you, hilo08. If it makes you feel any better, I'd rather not be watching this interview either. I wonder if they're replaying her acceptance speech on any other channel.
6:50 – I don't give a shit about no damn Houston. Bring back the hockey mom!
6:45 – What bullshit! We have to wait until the end for the rest of this glum interview?
6:42 – She's really not too great at answering questions in this format, is she? She stumbles over her words a lot and doesn't look too confident.
She really is the GOP's Barack Obama.
6:41 – She's not answering the question about invading Pakistan. She just keeps saying the same thing over and over again.
6:39 – She did a nice job sidestepping the George Bush question. But she's kind of flailing now with the Pakistan stuff.
6:38 – "We cannot second guess the steps that Israel has to do to defend themselves." Oh, are we the United States of Israel now?
6:37 – "Nuke U Lar." I guess it wasn't spelled out phonetically.
6:36 – "You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska." Oh, well, she clearly has foreign policy experience.
6:35 – "Have you ever met a foreign head of state?" I haven't. But neither have all those other ethereal people.
6:32 - She said she "didn't hesitate"? She "didn't blink"? After being asked to be the second most powerful person in the country? That's kind of scary.
6:04 – Because I apparently don't have anything better to do with my time, I'm gonna be liveblogging Sarah Palin's interview with Charlie Gibson on ABC's World News tonight at 6:30.
While we're waiting, let's pour through some excerpts from the interview.
She looks pretty good from what I've seen.

I am disappointed she didn't explain why her inexperience for the office is so much better than Obama's
OBAMA IS BIGFOOT!!!! NOTE FIRST PIC IS NOT MESSED WITH AND SECOND WE DID NOT MAKE!!!!! PLEASE PUT THIS ON COLBERT REPORT THE NATION MUST KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT WHO MIGHT BE SHEDDING IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

Hmm, now I read her explanation “Iraq is God’s will” comment is even screwyer. Lincoln was saying you should consider if you are God’s side or not, she’s saying you should pray (wish) you are. She makes comes to no conclusion if it is the right or necessary thing to do. Now that is leadership I want from a president.
"Perhaps [we will go to war with Russia}." Perhaps I will disagree with McCain, push the button, and assure mutual destruction for us all.
Well Charlie it's like this… blah blah blah, so do you see Charlie how I feel Charlie? I wonder if she was reading off a cue card?
What her quote “On a mission from God” is the antithesis of what Lincoln’s quote “I pray we are on God’s side” was. Give me a fucking break.
And how did you like the waffle on letting Georgia into NATO but avoiding the "would you attack Russia if Russia invaded Georgia again?"
And is her opinion regarding Israel that she'd let them do whatever they want to do and never question it? Good foreign policy Pit Bull Barracuda.
I liked that there were few human moments in the interview, instead of just highly polished politicizing.

Anyone who gets pregnant at 44, and deliberately has a retarded child
has no business dictating anyone else's reproductive choices.
Given her religious background, she probably will try.
It is easy for her to "raise" such a kid, and the up-and- coming grandkid too,
because her maids, nannies and housekeepers are here 24-7 while she politicizes herself.

"What I know is that my son has made a decision. I am so proud of his independent and strong decision he has made, what he decided to do…" – SP, on her son's choice to enlist in the military
So, the *son* is allowed to make an "independent" choice on what HE wants to do, but she advocates the elimination of choice for women in regard to abortion. Hmmm….
