Noted expert on the middle class, Charles Gibson of ABC News, will interview her later this week in Alaska. What should he ask her.

[BeyondGeography]

1. You're not in favor of raising the capital gains tax like Obama, are you?

[endthewar]

19. LOL!

Unfortunately, we all know that he will focus on that as if it ranks between health care and the economy as important issues.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. why were you a beauty queen?

[DAGDA56]

3. Why don'I see a flag pin there....HMMMM?

[VolcanoJen]

4. What are your thoughts on the tenuous relationship between Taiwan and China?

;-)

[BlueIdaho]

Will this check you campaign sent me bounce? nt.

[C_U_L8R]

5. I think in this case

The McCain Campaign will be sending the questions that Charlie is allowed to ask...
and I doubt it will be live, so the McFailins will demand editorial approval.

It will be a 30 minute commercial

[begin_within]

6. What's the nearest foreign country to Alaska?

[FrenchieCat]

7. They must think we are stupid!

[gateley]

8. Any in-depth question regarding Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan.

Or, exactly HOW Obama's tax plan raises taxes to the MIDDLE CLASS, as the Reps claim.

[HelenWheels]

9. She'll have the questions up front so they'll really be statements

presided by a "question"

[WCGreen]

10. If you were a twee, what kind of twee would you be...

[americanstranger]

11. Are you just an awesome VP pick,

or a super-double-awesome VP pick?

- as

[Barack_America]

12. Oh, this "concerned, undecided voter" will be sending him an e-mail...

With, what else? Concerns that I'd like answers for.

[quantass]

13. Oh come on...Gibson?!? Now we know she has scripted answers to the known questions.

I am surprised they just didnt put her on fox news first.

[Enrique]

14. how does your faith guide your decisions

:puke:

[dennis4868]

15. Why do the Dems...

hate America?

[chicagoexpat]

16. I think James Lipton should do the interview

They're questions she might be able to answer:

- What is your favorite curse word?

- What is your favorite word? What is your least favorite word?

- What turns you on? What turns you off?

- What sound or noise do you love? What sound or noise do you hate?

- What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? What profession would you not like to do?

[OmahaBlueDog]

17. sarah, given Senator McCain's age and health, statistics say there's a good chance ...

you'll become President. What will the first 100 days of a Palin presidency be like?

[amandabeech]

18. Do you agree with the Freddie-Fannie bailout? And did you agree with the

Bear Stearns bailout?

Please give a thorough defense of your answers.

[MarjorieG]

20. If the advance questions she received were helpful.

[BadgerKid]

21. What....is your favorite color?

[VolcanoJen]

23. I actually have a feeling that's about as rough as the questioning will get.

Gibson is a tool.

[chiefofclarinet]

28. What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

[begin_within]

30. Before or after being shot?

[Yavin4]

22. I Think That ABC News Agreed to Submit The Questions In Advance

That's how they landed the interview.

[VolcanoJen]

25. Oh, absolutely.

McCain's campaign manager says that "the media has been submitting ridiculous demands to us in order to get the first interview! We will do the interview on our terms at a time of our choosing!"

So now we definitely know how ABC got the scoop, right? Those "ridiculous demands" he was talking about were other news outlets refusing to submit the questions in advance.

[TheMickster]

24. abortion question

I would ask why if she is against "socialized" medicine she has no problem with socializing my uterous.

[Gabi Hayes]

26. here's what he's already asked:

what should I ask her?

[Patsy Stone]

27. Ask her if she feels comfortable

I'd hate for her to be approached before she's memorized all the world capitals.

[Parker CA]

29. Does anyone have an email for Charles Gibson?

Even if he doesn't give a shit, I think flooding his inbox with suggestions is in order.

[BlueIdaho]

33. Try this - I just sent an email there...

[Patsy Stone]

43. Thanks! Here's mine:

Please ask Governor Palin exactly what she felt she needed to learn before being comfortable enough to talk to you.

Ask her why she feels she has a special right to ignore questions from the press until she's ready. Why does she deserve special treatment?

Mr. Gibson, has your industry decided she deserves special treatment? It looks like it.

I can't imagine you all would have been just as deferential if other campaigns decided one of the candidates shouldn't speak to you, right?

[creeksneakers2]

31. If she can support McCain's position

against drilling in ANWR.

[usregimechange]

32. If a woman was raped and had an ectopic pregnancy would you kill her by insisting that she carry

the baby to term, which would be impossible to begin with?

[hedgehog]

34. Rhetorically, what books would you ban?

[Hugin]

35. Is your Spider Hole comfortable or do you need a couple more pillows, Your Highness?

Brace yourselves. This is as tough as the questions are going to get.

[Vinca]

36. Now this is a funny thread - what "should" he ask her.

We could type a million valid questions and Charlie's going to ask, how's baby Trig doing? Are you excited you're going to be a grandma? When's the wedding? How long will your son be serving on the front lines in Iraq? Where can my wife buy your eyeglasses? Do you realize you're now a trendsetter for women all over the country? How about that mooseburger recipe?:rofl:

[muntrv]

37. So, how's that Alaskan secession movement going?

[Glimmer of Hope]

38. Ugh. Now there will be this build up and hype about her first interview.

It is all about her now.

[RememberWellstone]

39. Where's the beef?

Why are you here? What ever can you do to improve this country after being a governor in Alaska?? If Macstain wants a booty call can he call you? lol!!

[RoadRage]

40. In light of your daughters pregnancy, do you still support Abstenince Only Education?

The answer to this will indicate if she learns from her mistakes, or continues to follow stubbornly even when she knows she's wrong (AKA BUSH).

[mitchum]

41. Why did it take you six years to earn a degree in Communications?

[greblc]

42. Who does your hair?

What's your favorite color? Important things like that. I'm sure he'll hammer her with a feather.

[RagAss]

44. Fucking Joke

[GoesTo11]

45. Can I please kiss your butt? Oops, you said "should" not "will"

[jillan]

46. Charlie better be every bit as tough as Brokaw was on Biden and Stephanopolous was on Obama.

She should not receive any special treatment because she has a vagina.

[spanone]

47. how do you get your hair to stand up on your head like that, eh? okay?

[gulliver]

48. Am I being deferential enough? Care for a footrub?

[Frank Booth]

49. Charlie Gibson?? Oh Jesus.

Man, the Republicans are playing the Democrats like a cheap fiddle.

This was a such an obvious set-up from the beginning. Say she won't interview to hype up anticipation, then schedule an interview with a Republican toady. She'll either get the questions in advance or Gibson will lob up softballs that require no knowledge to answer. Then the interview will be called a great success.

I saw this one coming from a mile away.

Looks like we'll have a senile old man for our next president, and the least qualified VP in history.
