On NPR today, Juan Williams discussed how Bush communications advisor Nicole Wallace and 2 foreign policy advisors have been brought in to help Caribou Barbie cram for media interviews - including preparing for her upcoming debut performance with the former morning show king-of-"happy talk" turned "hard-hitting" ABC newsanchor Charlie Gibson (who will be pretending to cover her policy experience while promoting her son's military service on Thursday and Friday).
Juan Williams said their strategy also involves having her spend lots of time with McCain himself, so he can bestow his actual opinions on her (since she had no clue what his positions were when she agreed to join his ticket).
Mr. Williams went on to preview some of the prepared answers.
For instance, he said, for ANYTHING to do with foreign policy, economic policy, or national security, they are advising her to connect her answer back to energy and environmental policy, "where she feels comfortable" (drill, baby, drill?).
