LiveBlog: Sarah Palin's Coming Out Interview

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

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.

  1. about the title of this post …

    Sarah Palin is lesbian?! Further proof that she wasn't vetted.

  2. Something's wrong when I want to read your liveblogs as opposed to watching the actual interview..
