There have been a number of gems slipping from the well-rehearsed mouth of Sarah Palin in her first major interview with ABC, but my favorite so far has been her walk-back on her global warming position. From the AP:

In the ABC interview, Palin said she believes that "man's activities certainly can be contributing to the issue of global warming, climate change. ... Regardless, though, of the reason for climate change, whether it's entirely, wholly caused by man's activities or is part of the cyclical nature of our planet — the warming and the cooling trends — regardless of that, John McCain and I agree that we gotta do something about it."

Ummm ... you can't have it both ways, Sarah.

I lay in bed this morning listening to Steve Inskeep of NPR interview Senator Clinton. While most have keyed in on her eyerolling Michigan primary assertions, I was intrigued by the defense of her foreign policy experience as First Lady. When Inskeep challenged her claimed experience in Northern Ireland and Kosovo, she became defensive:

You know, I find this an interesting conversation because there is no doubt that I played a major role in many of the foreign policy decisions. I represented our government and our country in more than 80 countries. I know that people are nitpicking and raising questions--that's fair; that's the campaign. But compare my experience even after the nitpicking with Senator Obama's [scary laugh]--I mean, let's look at this objectively here--and I think my experience is, you know, much more preparatory for the job that awaits

So that started me thinking ...
