Sarah Palin / Katie Couric Interview: LEAVE SARAH PALIN ALONE!!1! She’s Got Nothing To Say Anyway
25 September 2008, 11:15 AM. By Daniel Mauser
Time for your morning workout! Ready to cringe? Ok, let’s go! Sarah Palin -sat down- took a stroll with Katie Couric for an interview about hockey, PTA cookies and a questionable ongoing relationship between John McCain’s campaign manager Rick Davis and advocates for rate-inflaters Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. (Answer: Glarp glorp buzz boop. Um, uh.) Sarah was also unable to provide examples of John McCain ever having supported financial regulation, responding with, “I’ll try to find some and bring them to you.” But…
Nevermind the issue of fairness. Was that really a realistic question for Katie to have asked?
Sarah Palin has been an executive of a tiny state for a very short time, has no national experience, has never studied federal government or been in the federal government. She is, for all intents and purposes, kind of really, yeah. A hockey mom from Wasilla. How many random people in the street do you think would know the answer? And what would John McCain’s very specific work regarding financial regulation have to do with Sarah Palin’s ability or inability to function as VP?
We understand why Charlie Gibson asked about Palin’s thoughts on the Bush Doctrine. She’s a relative unknown and a staunch conservative whose stances on issues relating to foreign policy are relevant to the position she wants to hold. That relates to Sarah. John McCain’s work as Senator or his take on financial regulation? Relates to John McCain. Katie Couric’s attempt to be “hard hitting,” in this specific case, seemed to fall a little flat.
Maybe that’s why the McCain campaign is trying to shield Sarah Palin’s delicate blossom or whatever. Not sexism, but bullying based on… Partisanship? Personal agendas? Ratings? Either way, she’s going to have to learn from this and become better informed overall. Or at least practice spewing rhetoric in a more articulate fashion. Although this woman is like Teflon. She could probably say she wants to “motorboat Hillary Clinton’s lesbian boobs” and still have the support of like half the United States.

Lord. LOL. This - a stunt, McCain has no understanding of economics plus he has the nerve to get economic advice from phil gramm lol?
and mccain has been on late show 14 times 13 more than obama and the number of cars he owns - who the rock star?
Oohh, just the way she says “I’ll bring ‘em to ya!” makes me want to shank her, just for the way she says it on an interview. It’s like being called “Sweetie” in an argument, or someone rolling their eyes.
This just shows that Biden will mop the floor, with this snow covered bitch, during the debates. No wonder John McCain wants to move his debate to next thursday so he can delay for as long as possible, the public embarrassment that is his V.P. pick. Yet still the republicans love this woman, I just cant understand.
Do not look behind the moose. Do not look behind the moose. She is the great and wondrous Hockey Mom.
There’s no place like Nome, there’s no place like Nome…
@escobar: v nice! and i think from now on she should be referred to as Bible Spice or Moosealini
I want to vote already but can’t wait to watch these debates, whenever they happen. So far Jack and Jill have been like watching train wrecks on a daily basis (cringe factor to the nth power). I’m convinced they’re trying to outdo each other on the ridiculous scale.
The idea that this woman could end up being second in line for the presidency is terrifying.
I agree with the thoughts above.
I much rather vote for Mr. Obama. He got his wife a 300k raise via an earmark to the hosptial she worked at. Sheer genuis!
Him changing the defintion of lobbyist to community organizer. Genuis!
Working with a terrorist for years yet his judgment has not been questioned. Genuis!
Getting a 300k discount from a felon without doing anything for it. Again sheer genuis. How doe he do it!
Of course he voted against the war without talking to any generals or visitng Iraq. This mans is such a genuis he makes decsion via ESP!
I love this Genuis! Comparing him to Jesus is to limiting!
I like how repugs will recite whatever item they have read, even if its been disproven, every chance they get. I just don’t get why they still want more repugs running the white house after where we have ended up. Whats even better is that 95% of us will never ever come close to amassing the kind of money that it takes to really matter to the repug party, for their policies to actually work for you. Yet people still want to vote that way. Its not that I hate repugs, I think its fine if you do it in the privacy of your own home but its the ones that parade about flamboyantly showing it off that freaks me out.
perryj - you’re one to judge … genIUses
Not to be contrary, but I think the question asked by newswoman, Katie Couric, is a legitimate question that nominee Palin missed quite admirably and graciously.
Now, that said, will Ms. Couric show “fairness” by asking the same question of nominee Biden with respect to what the Democratic Presidential choice has done in ANY field of accomplishment while in the Senate for his 140 days ..excluding his campaign for the White House.
I didn’t think so…
