Sarah "First Strike Against Russia" Palin?

Uh...not so much. It turns out ABC deliberately edited Palin's responses in a deceptive manner in order to make the Alaskan Governor look bad. All of the following was edited out of the broadcast:

GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia?

PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.

The following was also excised:

We cannot repeat the Cold War. We are thankful that, under Reagan, we won the Cold War, without a shot fired, also. We’ve learned lessons from that in our relationship with Russia, previously the Soviet Union.

We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.

Notice, ABC sold the interview as presenting Palin's, supposedly, shocking tough stance against Russia.

Sheesh.

Will someone please show the media to the giant egress.
