A Work in Progress? [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Another e-mail:
Hi Kathryn,
Just caught the Palin interview on the West Coast. Some observations:
1) Gibson was acting like he was giving her a pop quiz.
2) The exchange about the "holy war". I've read transcripts somewhere that contain this:
—-
a) GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?
b) PALIN: You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote.
c) GIBSON: Exact words
—-
The version that I saw on the West Coast does NOT have (b) and (c) above. Also, they showed a YouTube clip with the longer, more complete version of her statement. Did all the complaining about how he quoted her out of context make them edit the version shown on the West Coast, to make it more fair? Did anybody see (b) and (c) above on the East Coast?
