Saw this and thought Wow now they're throwing McCain Under the Bus in a scrambling attempt to cover for the fact that with THIS SINGLE QUESTION Sarah Palin clearly SHOWS WHY SHE IS NOT QUALIFIED to be Vice President . . . a HEARTBEAT AWAY from the most powerful position in the free world.

As was clearly demonstrated last night on  Bill Maher's Real Time with the bloviating David Frum, the support of Palin/McCain is is making a lot pf people "who are smarter than that" say completely ridiculous things because they have to to keep the people who are apparently to dumb to know better on their side.

First, they went for this:

Not knowing anything about Bush Doctrine (the single Bush Policy that most threatens the world) is OK, because the "average" American Voter wouldn't know what it is either . . . it's just not something your average "Hockey Mom" would be expected to know.

I think that insults "Hockey Moms" everywhere across this great country of ours and the Palin/McCain campaign should issue an immeadiate apology, but that was their answer to their shall we say "uninformed" voter base. 

You don't know the answer either, stupid! So there!

However, the Republican party does have some folks who can actually interpret what they see and hear for themselves. 

They call these folks "the media".  John McCain used to call them "my base".

For these folks they wheeled out the "brilliant Charles Krauthammer to “school” Charlie Gibson on the “Bush Doctrine" 

This is like putting forth Dr, Strangeglove to lecture us on war, but no matter.

The New York Times got it wrong. And Charlie Gibson got it wrong.

There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings, each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration — and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today. It is utterly different.

So there you go! Sarah Palin was right to not know what the hell "Charlie" was asking her about because "there is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine".

There's one problem with all this though that they didn't really think through.

If Sarah's right doesn't that make McCain wrong to say there is one definable Bush Doctrine and to express what it is?
