A Question for He Who Runs at the Mouth

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Oct 2 2008, 4:23 PM ET Comment

The Times op-ed page today has questions for Biden and Palin from Andrew as well as from yours truly. My question for Biden is there; my Palin question couldn't make it for space (damn print!) but here it is. I hope Gwen asks.

Governor Palin, recently you were asked to discuss the "Bush doctrine," and it seemed to many viewers that you were unacquainted with the term. Three weeks have elapsed since you were asked that question. Could you share with us now your philosophy of anticipatory self-defense? And a question concerning another aspect of the Bush doctrine: Would you argue for the holding of democratic elections in Egypt if the CIA told you that the Muslim Brotherhood might be in a position to win such an election?
