PEGGY NOONAN, WALL STREET JOURNAL: Oh, well I thought everything Rudy Giuliani just said was true. If it had been a Republican vice presidential candidate who had made those gaffes, one after another, so comically, and all on tape, the subject today of the panel would be how stupid is this person, can this person possibly govern?

Governor Palin's heavily-edited interview with Charlie Gibson was aired on 11-12 September 2008. In her conversation, she was not skillful in defining the Bush Doctrine. (The full transcript is available
here.) The next installment of
Meet the Press, the panel did not talk about her performance in that interview but did focus on her comments regarding Senator Clinton (transcript is
here).
NBC's Katie Couric dismantled Governor Palin in a two-part interview aired on 24-25 September 2008 (transcript and video of part one is
here, part two is
there). The interview was not mentioned on the next episode of
Meet the Press (transcript is
here).
In the subsequent weeks leading up to the election Governor Palin was rarely discussed and when she was, her growing number of gaffes were not the focus of the conversation.
