Oh brother! Hard-hitting ABC interviewer Charlie Gibson will get the first crack at Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin later this week.

This will be her first interview since acccepting the Republican party's nomination as Sen. John McCain's vice presidential running mate.

The interview will take place over two days, probably this Thursday and Friday.

Oh, goodie! TWO fashion ops! But more importantly, a  chance for voters to learn more about this surprise entry into the 2008 presidential race.

Will you watch? What do you hope good old Charlie asks? What do you want to know?

Let's hope it's not just about where she bought her eyeglasses.

That much we already know.

I don't know if my previous message for Charlie Gibson was received. Here it is again. Charlie, are you going to act as a Fox surragate for Palin in your upcoming iinterview with her the wqy you Foxed Obama in your interview with him some time back. I lost all respect for your journalist integrity in that unfair affair. Please be fair this time. To not pander to this woman. Thank you.


Give me a break, hard hitting interviewer Charlie Gibson.He's a milk toast Larry King lookalike. Gov. Palin will cream his butt.


DON"T SCREW THIS UP, GIBSON! AMERICA IS WATCHING AND NEEDS YOU TO DO YOUR JOB!

Gibson needs to pin her down on SOCIAL issues: 1, abortion rights

2. religion's influence in her political life and decision-making as gov and vice pres. How much would her faith direct her decisions in office??

3. What would she do about educating students about birth control options? sex ed?

etc., etc. etc.


Here are some more questions Palin should be asked.

How can you love America when your husband was a member of AIP secessionist party?

How can you dare proclaim loyalty to the USA when there's a video of you welcoming the AIP who rub shoulders with racist organizations?


We hope this doesn't happen, but if your 14 year old daughter is raped, do you as a parent allow her to be given RU40 (morning after pill) in the emergency room. If no, do you think other parents should have the right to decide if the morning after pill is right for their 14 year old daughter?


America would appreciate it if Charlie Gibson would avoid cute and fluffy questions of Sarah Palin in favor of those that will help illuminate her beliefs.

Questions like-

Do you believe in global warming?

Do you think that Creationism should be taught in the schools?

What do you think of Roe verse Wade? Do you believe it should be overturned?

Did you attempt to ban certain books in the library when you were mayor of Wasilla? If so why?

Do you think that your God is on your side and helping you in Iraq?

Do you think that Jews deserve what they get because they don't believe in Jesus?

Do think that praying for Gays can over turn their gayness?


If she feels that being born gay is a sin, how does that sin compared to pre-marital sex? (Track was born 8 months after her wedding and Bristol's situation)


1. Ask the same questions you would of a man.

2. NOOOOOO fluff

3. On what issues/policies does she differ from George Bush.

4. Thoughts on the 1st amendment...ie book banning.

8.5. How much $ does Alaska receive from the Federal Gov't...per citizen

6. How much money did she as mayor request & receive from the Federal Gov't (with her hired lobbyist's assistance) for her town of 6000.

7. Was the money for the "bridge to nowhere' project returned to the Federal Treasury.

8. What do you think God's role is the in Alaska pipeline as she talked about at her church.


Just remember Gibson performance at the Clinton/Obama debate, and you

will get an idea about where he stands during this political season.


Even though I believe Charlie Gibson is Republican, I think he is very fair and probing in his interviews. I believe he will be fair, yet will get questions asked that American would like answers to. Go Charlie!
