The Palin Doctrine...

[robinskij]

...that every presidential vice presidential candidate has the Divine right to respond to any question that threatens her right campaign to rule the world run for office with some variation of  "...World Peace!", Terrorists are Ebil, frequent emphatic interjections of the interviewer's name,  meaningless but repetitive and emotionally stirring

When a witness or interviewee just refuses to give a yes or no answer to a straightforward yes or no question, it means they are hiding something.

18 years in the law business has taught me a thing or two about spotting liars.

The reason she was so determined to not get pinned down by giving a yes or no answer is she feared having to answer a follow up question.

I've seen liars and phonies do this many a time. It is really the phony experts, more so than outright liars, who do this. They try to keep you stuck on the same question all day, by never giving a straight answer, because they fear they won't be able to answer follow up questions.

Real experts are not afraid to answer a question.

Palin knows nothing about these subject matters. She's just going off of a script that she learned from her recent crash course and tutoring in international affairs. So she is desperate not to get drawn into a Q&A session that is going to go beyond her script.

As Nigel Tuffnail of Spinaltap would say, "what's wrong with sexy? I like sexy."
