Uncut Palin

During the last presidential election, Sarah Palin did a couple of interviews in which she seemed so clueless that...well, she pretty much gave up doing interviews with anyone who'd be more probing than Sean Hannity. Of the interviews that caused her to retreat, she has sometimes claimed that they were edited to make her look bad...especially that ABC one with Charlie Gibson where, among other failings, she didn't seem to know what the Bush Doctrine was. She claimed that again recently and in response, ABC has released the full, unedited transcript of their two taping sessions. Palin actually comes across a little smarter in some of the exchanges that didn't make air...but those also don't make news, which is why they don't make air. In short, she was edited the way all those things are edited.
