Couric: When President Bush ran for office, he opposed nation-building. But he has spent, as you know, much of his presidency promoting democracy around the world. What lessons have you learned from Iraq? And how specifically will you try to spread democracy throughout the world?

Palin: Specifically, we will make every effort possible to help spread democracy for those who desire freedom, independence, tolerance, respect for equality. That is the whole goal here in fighting terrorism also. It's not just to keep the people safe but to be able to usher in democratic values and ideals around this, around the world.

And yet she has some corruption investigations of her own, being less than two years in office, employing her friends and firing the people who dare to object to anything she says. I am not quite sure which side is better.

You are going on hearsay, now.

America's largest newspaper, although liberal, isn't quite hearsay, especially when it mostly just lays out the facts.  This WaPo article draws similar conclusions.

COURIC: You recently said three times that you would never, quote, "second guess Israel if that country decided to attack Iran." Why not?

PALIN: We shouldn't second guess Israel's security efforts because we cannot ever afford to send a message that we would allow a second Holocaust, for one. Israel has got to have the opportunity and the ability to protect itself. They are our closest ally in the Mideast. We need them. They need us. And we shouldn't second guess their efforts.

COURIC: You don't think the United States is within its rights to express its position to Israel? And if that means second-guessing or discussing an option?

PALIN: No, also ... we need to express our rights and our concerns and...

COURIC: But you said never second guess them.

PALIN: We don't have to second-guess what their efforts would be if they believe ... that it is in their country and their allies, including us, all of our best interests to fight against a regime, especially Iran, who would seek to wipe them off the face of the earth. It is obvious to me who the good guys are in this one and who the bad guys are...

Yeah, she's definitely worse than Bush.

Actually, we don't know if she is because that statement is indecipherable.
