This morning Good Morning America show brief skits of the Sarah Palin Interview airing tonight on 20/20. This interview show me that the inexperience issue is now out the window. Sarah Palin answers were so off course, the inteviewer had to stop and restate the question 3 - 4 time regarding foreign issues, the bush doctorine which she completely doesn't know. Republican or not I'm scared if she become VP

What makes you think it was edited at all? Because I don't think it was. If you can find a different version that shows the stuff that you think is left out then please submit it.

It was reported today that it was HEAVILY edited.

That it was made to look like she only had a short one sentence answer on many questions, but, without the editing, you would hear that she really had much more to say, than the one line they "allowed" to be shown.

On many questions, the second, and third, statements she made, to better clarify her position, were not included in the footage that has been shown.

The entire interview is "supposed" to air on Nightline, not sure when, unedited.

Especially Matt Damon... who doesn't know who she is (and won't in 8 weeks either)... seriously 8 weeks and you won't know who she is.... there is something wrong with you Matt Damon.

AND WE ARE NOT SOME ITTY BITTY HICK TOWN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! I get so tired of hearing that.

He's not talking about Alaska or its population. He's talking about Palin the individual. I don't think it matters where she's from.

Excuses Excuses........it was a direct question that she clearly doens't even know how to answer. Gibson stated the question clear.........I can't wait for the debate OBAMA is going to chew up McCain...............Thanks for the transcript of the interview

Oh no?... he says and I quote "I know that she was mayor of a really... really small town"....

We aren't that small... it's just the people that live inside the city limits zoning.

I live in Wasilla, 7 miles OUTSIDE the zone... they aren't counting everyone who lives here.

No it wasn't . The Bush Doctrine is a broad principle philosphy of how to combat the "terrorists" /"radical jihadist "or whatever pc language they are called lately .Contained in the doctrine but not exclusive to the doctrine is the concept of preemption.

When Gibson clarified that his question was about the preemption part of the Bush Doctrine her answer was unambiguous and in my view correct :

PALIN: Charlie, if there is legitimate and enough intelligent and legitimate evidence that tells us that a strike is imminent against American people, we have every right to defend our country.

Ask 100 people on the street what the "bush doctrine" is and 97 of them won't know. So what? Who cares?

If the Bush Doctrine is "get them before they get us [if we have good evidence that they're coming after us]" and anyone disagrees, then they're daft.

...and Matt Damon is a complete idiot. He can join Baldwin and Sarandon in France.

...oh yeah, I forgot...Baldwin and Sarandon didn't move like they promised they would...
