"Gotcha Journalism"

These are the words being used by her handlers to describe questions catching Palin off guard.

WASHINGTON - Gov. Sarah Palin said Monday that her comment about attacking terrorist targets in Pakistan, which appeared to contradict the position of GOP presidential nominee John McCain, was a response to a "gotcha" question from a voter.

Asked what she learned from the experience, Palin said: "That this is all about "gotcha" journalism. A lot of it is. But that's OK, too."

The question was, "what are you going to do about Pakistan?"

If that is a "gotcha" question, she is in trouble.
Power is nothing till you use it.

Stupid "journalists" and their ilk. These questions need to be vetted, planned for and rehearsed.

How in the world is she suppose to know where she stands on the issues unless someone tells her where she stands on the issues?

I guess asking what newspapers you read is "gotcha" journalism, too.  Palin couldn't give Couric an answer.

Maybe she should have just asked if Palin knows how to read?

It would just be so much more efficient if the "jounalists" handled questions for Gov. Palin the same way as they handle their questions for Sinator Barack Hussein Obama:

By letting her REVIEW THEM IN ADVANCE.

MUCH more efficient. Has worked for Obama for the past 2 years.

The Lame-Stream Media are ALL in the bag for Obama the Redeemer.

Your arguments are waning, quadruped!  It's getting close to winter; you should probably think about prepping your den for hibernation.

Gee... repeat the same LIE over and over and over again ad infinitum, hoping somebody/anybody would be DUPED into believing it...

NOBODY except LYING REPUBLICANS talk of Obama as "a Redeemer"....
