Charlie Gibson and Sara Palin
In a recent interview by Charlie Gibson, Sarah Palin was asked, "Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine." Governor Palin responded, "In what respect, Charlie?" Charlie Gibson declined to elaborate, and instead answered, "well, what do you interpret it to be?"
Sarah Palin went on to enumerate how she agreed with Bush's attempts to combat Islamic extremists and terrorism, while admitting that some mistakes had been made.
Charlie Gibson then smugly elaborated what he meant by the Bush Doctrine.
