Palin on which newspapers she reads: ‘Um, all of them.’
Palin on which newspapers she reads: ‘Um, all of them.’
Tonight on the CBS Evening News, host Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin which sources she relies on for her news consumption. Three separate times, Couric tried to elicit a response from Palin about which specific newspapers she reads. Seemingly caught off guard, Palin could not name a single news source:
COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this — to stay informed and to understand the world?
PALIN: I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media —
COURIC: But what ones specifically? I’m curious.
PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.
COURIC: Can you name any of them?
PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.

September 30th, 2008 at 7:18 pmI’m starting to think her daughter would be a more coherent and engaging candidate.

At turnip would be a more coherent and engaging.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:19 pmCome on folks. Give the poor thing a break. It’s obviously not a question she was prepped for by the campaign, and she doesn’t have a clue what to say that would be “politically correct.” It’s truly scary that such a person was selected as the VP nominee. And I thought Quayle was bad. Compared to Sarah, he was a genius.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:21 pmAnd now we welcome the latest graduate of the Evelyn Wood Speed Reading Course, Sarah (I read everything) Palin.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:22 pmAh geeze Katie, ya know…. the top three….. People, US weekly, and The world weekly news.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:22 pmSometimes for “policy matters” I read Soldier of fortune, and Guns and ammo.

At lease she didn’t say ” I’ll get back to you”. Look this was the reason the McCain campaign didn’t want real Journalist interviewing Sarah. Only the brought and paid for fake Journalist would make sure she could answer questions that a 2 year old could answer. The more we see of Sarah the sadder it gets for McCain. Sarah needs Joe Lieberman to step in and correct her errors just as he does for McCain.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:23 pmwhy is “usa today”
so hard for her to
remember?

September 30th, 2008 at 7:23 pmGawd, can she be any stupider? Can’t wait for the debates.
Newsperson: Where do you live?
plain: Is that a gotcha question?
Tina Fey has more intelligence than plain.
How mcchimpy dumbness.
Why would the navy allow a virtual flunk-out dummy drop bombs?
September 30th, 2008 at 7:24 pmROTFLMAO! Well I, for one, must thank Ms. Pain for that badly needed laugh break. It’s refreshing to know she has such a command of so many languages and is so blessed with the ability to speed read that she reads all of the world’s papers in every language written. Now That’s entertaining! Why’s she been so very modest, up till now?
September 30th, 2008 at 7:25 pmImpeach Pelosi, Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution!

For Gods sake cant she even just name a few newspapers?
September 30th, 2008 at 7:25 pmmore excerpts:
“you really , just have to give 110 percent..well you know, there is no I in team katie, you just have to get out there, you know, and give it your all, you know, give 110 percent…with 200 percent less blinking, because you know, there is no I in team, but, conversely, there is a T is Taxes, which are bad, and any tax reduction should ALWAYS be accompanied by a reduction in taxes…taxes which shouldnt be paid by the taxpayer. i was a geology major in college katie. i very much like rocks. i am very much like a rock. ice is like a rock, but i am not like ice. this i do not fully understand.”
September 30th, 2008 at 7:25 pm“You mean reading? I said thanks, but no thanks to reading. Let me know which ones you want me to read and I’ll git ‘em to ya.” Poor Sarah, bless her heart.

“Palin on which newspapers she reads: ‘Um, all of them.’”
Reading “Family Circus”, “B.C.” and “Cathy” Doesn’t count.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:27 pmOh, great. now we find out she’s as well read as W.

September 30th, 2008 at 7:29 pmAs I remember, we have a certain POTUS who has no intellectual curiosity and doesn’t read papers either.

Dude…I never thought I would see a political candidate that makes bush look like a rhodes scholar but palin manages to do so..Dumbya was dumb but hooolly cr#pola, Palin is not only dumb but takes it a step further and is even too stupid to realize how dumb she is….Dumbya reveled in his anti-intellectualism but Palin is really trying to insist that yes, she really does read….”all of them”….wow..just wow..
September 30th, 2008 at 7:33 pmAnd after watching the video, I now fully understand why all McWorse’s campaign managers are drinking Heavilly. ROTFLMAO!
September 30th, 2008 at 7:36 pmImpeach Pelosi, Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution!
I am beginning to really admire Katie Couric. The fact that she can keep a straight face and not roll her eyes when she is interviewing Palin is phenomenal.
I don’t have high hopes for Palin in the debate. I’m betting that Gwen Ifel can come up with some amazing questions that are going to tie Sarah in knots.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:36 pmHow hard would it been for her to say…”well Katie I read the Post and the Wall Street Journal” Her followers would have been in heaven with that answer. BUT she’s not smart enough to think fast on her feet.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:37 pmCount Istvan says–BUT she’s not smart enough to think fast on her feet.
She actually thinks? Doubt it
September 30th, 2008 at 7:37 pmChrist, it just keeps getting worse.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:37 pmWhat’s that sound you hear? It’s the gnashing of teeth by millions of Republicans.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:38 pmSeriously Couric asked her three times simply what newspapers she reads and Palin dodged the questions?
“I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media”
What kind of bullshit answer is that? “Great appreciation for the press”. For crying out loud just name a three or four newspapers and get it over with!
September 30th, 2008 at 7:40 pmThe Bug Tussle Bugle, no doubt.
This woman is dumber than Jethro Bodine.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:41 pm“I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.”
Common english translation: “What’s a newspaper? What’s a magazine?”
As an aside, has anyone noticed how Governor Palin constantly—and quite inappropriately—mixes her ‘tenses’ and ‘persons’ as she speaks? She is truly all over the map. See just above: I [and] we. In the same sentence! She apparently is consistently unable to express a well formed, coherent thought.
So scary. Seriously…
September 30th, 2008 at 7:45 pmSeriously.
Even an idiot can name her own local paper. Most pols I know receive a daily “clippings file” of note worthy news items, including the source’s name.
“Katie, I don’t have time to read those librul media rags ’cause I got my eyes glued to, ya know, the radar bleep-thingies screen keepin’ my watchful eyes on the Russians who, ya know, might be in the air space over the space that I’m, ya know, governor of, also.”
PEACE
September 30th, 2008 at 7:45 pmCOURIC: Can you name any of them?
PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news
Very telling, she could not or would not name any…..makes you go “Mmmmmm”.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:46 pm“Um, in what respect?”
September 30th, 2008 at 7:46 pm“I pick up all kinds of tidbits of information while wrapping fish in the great state of Alaska.”
September 30th, 2008 at 7:47 pmLike I said, you can hear the hamster running in its wheel but the gears are obviously not engaged
September 30th, 2008 at 7:49 pmSatirev, how about we make some “Somewhere in Alaska, ya know, the state where it’s next to the maritime border with Russia, a governors’ mansion is missing its, ya know, idiot…also” t-shirts.
Pink, I’m thinking.
PEACE
September 30th, 2008 at 7:50 pmOkay, okay, I was never very mystified by why the McSame campaign was keeping Sarah under wraps, and it’s nice to know that it looks like I was correct… but did I have to be this correct?
I mean, c’mon, Katie — we get it already. You’ve earned your wings. In an interview with a Republican vice-presidential candidate, you come out looking like a Rhodes scholar.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:52 pmMaybe I’ve missed some answers, but I’ve never heard any specifics in any answer I’ve heard. I’m not sure she knows the meaning of the word ’specific’. From what she says after she’s asked for specifics, she seems to think it means the opposite.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:54 pmRalph, Katie is more qualified than Flailin’ Palin to be Veep.
But, ya know, she’s too worldly and, ya know, book learned, to be so popular with the wingnuts, also.

September 30th, 2008 at 7:55 pmNot sure if it’s that she really doesn’t read or it’s that she’s totally unwilling/unable to take a position on the matter.
I mean, if she says she reads the New York Times, for example, she might think she’ll be portrayed as ‘elitist’ and dangerously open-minded (not that I think of the NYT as liberal, they’re just portrayed as that).
But if she says something like the Juneau Journal (if there is one!) or something, she may be afraid that she’ll be portrayed as backwoods or whatever.
Or, she ignores all those bundles of paper that have been “in front of” her “all these years”.
Maybe someone should ask her which web sites she goes to! lol

NOTHING as usual. You are a cowardly ignorant punk stop wasting our time you worthless loaf
September 30th, 2008 at 8:05 pmWho would have thought that this interview with Sarah Palin would raise Katie Couric’s stock as a serious journalist? Not because of her penetrating questions — the questions are respectable, reasonable enough questions to ask a Vice-Presidential candidate — but simply because she looks so competent and professional compared to her interview subject.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:06 pmWhy? Do Post Turtles read? Great post by SKdeA @64:
I just got this in an email, rather pithy:
The Post Turtle
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President.
The old rancher said, ‘ Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle.’
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.
The old rancher said, ‘ When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a post turtle.’
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. ‘ You know she didn’t get up there by herself, she doesn’t belong up there, she doesn’t know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with.’
September 30th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
September 30th, 2008 at 8:07 pmTruth be told, it seems that many have been called a Post Turtle (including gwb) but she sure seems to fit the bill!
September 30th, 2008 at 8:10 pmlol Look for SNL to have a skit on that. Absolutely an airhead Governor! The character, Crissy Snow, from the TV show Three’s Company in the ’70’s is far more intelligent than Palin. Don’t give any more interviews to that twit.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:10 pmI think JK might just be a post turtle. He climbs out the window after Mom turns out the lights. How he got up on that post is a wonder to us all…
September 30th, 2008 at 8:11 pmnext part of Courics interview with Palin:
COURIC: Governor Palin what is your favorite color?
PALIN: Uhm.. In what respect Katie?
COURIC: Well your favorite color. Which one do you like the most?
PALIN: I’ve seen most of them and I think its fantastic that we in our great country and in my great state of Alaska have so many uhm.. colors, and colors are so important Katie, especially in respect to the economic and healthcare reform which we need so urgently to shore up our economy and.. oh its gotta be about job creation too! and most importantly in the trade and energy sector like in Alaska where most jobs are created under umbrellas and..
COURIC: Ok.. but if you had to pick just one color which one would you pick?
PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.
COURIC: Can you name one color?
PALIN: Uh.. I’ll.. try and find ya some and I’ll bring em to ya!
September 30th, 2008 at 8:11 pm“Ya know, Katie…I don’t read a whole bunch, but I sure do like lookin’ at the photos in the Field & Stream that Todd leaves in the Mansion crapper.”
That would have been the honest answer, but – as we’ve learned – honest answers are beyond her ability.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:11 pmOne can only assume her reticence to mean that she has never read a newspaper or magazine, nor bothered to even learn what they are called. That or, she reads them and doesn’t Believe anything that’s not also in the Bible.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:13 pmDoesn’t she have journalism degree?
September 30th, 2008 at 8:14 pmI was suprised she didn’t say the bible.
Hasn’t read that either.
It is looking like Katie and CBS has more goodies for us then there is time to show before the election. Can we maybe put it off for a few weeks and also get in some more SNL skits as well?
Such a target-rich environment! Like shooting lipsticked pigs in a barrel.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:14 pmFriends, the writing is on the wall. We need a new Vice Presidential Candidate. I’m asking you all ot support Peter for Vice President. http://peter-for-vice-president.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-candidacy-for-vice-presidency.html
September 30th, 2008 at 8:17 pmSarah Mascara INVENTED newspaper you know….
September 30th, 2008 at 8:17 pmAh geeze Katie, ya know…. the top three….. People, US weekly, and The world weekly news.
And, of course, her primary source of world and national news . . . The Wasilla Weekly Shopper.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:18 pmA little blog nugget I found:
Since she was selected as McCain’s running mate, Palin has fallen into the “blame the media” mindset. Certainly she must have learned in her journalism courses that the press serves as a watchdog on government and powerful institutions. That scrutiny includes candidates for vice president. Perhaps Palin’s political ambition has overtaken her journalism education.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:21 pmSelecting Palin as a VP is beginning to look like a black psy-ops program to jam every thinking gear in our collective head. She is anti-thought. She is dark matter for the gray matter. She is cognitive death.
The motives behind her selection cannot be described as anything less than EVIL.
The Republican party is mocking us.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:21 pmCouldn’t she at least have given a canned wingnut response, like “I really don’t rely on the mainstream media, Katie.” So instead she says “all of them”?!? Now we know why she went into politics: she would have bombed a job interview for McDonalds.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:23 pmCOURIC: Can you name any of them ?
SARAH: Sure I can:
September 30th, 2008 at 8:24 pm1. Dinosaurs Journal: A Journal that will help me to know about them roamong earth with Humans 4000 years ago.
2. Thomas Muthee Journal; To know how to do witch hunting,and defeating demons.
3. Neighbors Journal: Helps me stay in touch with Putin as a
Russian neighbor,and that helps me in foreign policy,
You know” !
4. Drill, Drill: helps me to be one of the most knwoledgable in the oil industry.
5. Bridges Journals: So, I can say, katie:”..Thanks,but No Thanks”.
6. Hockey Journal:” As you know Katie,I’m a Hockey Mom”…
7. OB-GYN Journal….”That ,that will help me in …
I just don’t remember,Katie”.
Alaska is like a microcosim of an American state where its governor doesn’t read a book, magazine or newspaper and is dumber than a box of snowballs.
Palin sounded more intelligent when she said seeing Russia gave her foreign policy credentials.
It’s no wonder that the McCain Republicans are trying to keep this doofus under wraps.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:26 pmCertainly she must have learned in her journalism courses that the press serves as a watchdog on government and powerful institutions.
Remember, she was a sports-caster. She thought the only journalistic responsibilities were to serve as a watchdog on coaches and influential sports stars, to report game scores and criticize the refs when they made a bad call.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:27 pmOMFG!
September 30th, 2008 at 8:27 pmHow about Mad Magazine, your highness!?
Sportscaster, right.
How about Nation 14, Palin 0.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:28 pmYou know she doesn’t read Dilbert…she definetly wouldn’t get it.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:32 pmShe reads “Playgirl”, but only looks at the pictures.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:33 pmMaybe I’m just gun-shy, but every once in a while I wonder if stuff like this interview has been carefully planned to be leaked out before the big debate, in order to lull Joe Biden into a sense of complacency, so that Sarah ‘Cuda can blindside him in the debate with some wealth of insight, wit and cunning that we just haven’t seen yet.
Then again, maybe they’re just striving mightily to lower expectations as far as they will go.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:34 pmI just cant get over these unbelievably stupid answers.
I mean its one thing to fumble on questions like the 700 billion dollar bailout and the Bush doctrine, but to do it on “What newspapers do you read?”?
And whats up with the childish attempt to charm her way out with the babytalk about Alaska at the end?
September 30th, 2008 at 8:34 pmUhh…definitely. Damn, is should read as I type.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:35 pmShe’ll probably love visiting St Louis too.
Now that she has her passport.

September 30th, 2008 at 8:37 pmSo sorry to miss you again. We just can’t seem to connect. I’ll admit it is leftover but I have some lobster bisque and a little mussels marinara if your still about. We can have a little chat over some vittles…..
I just listened to that clip. I need a drink.
But what’s up with the “People down here think people in Alaska are like a foreign country (like Hawaii?). We have newspapers and US magazine and everything!” Who the hell ever suggested she didn’t have access to newspapers and magazines?
September 30th, 2008 at 8:38 pmShe is still reading the book My Pet Goat. Now Sarah and George would make a great couple. Connie’s moved on with her female soul mate and Laura has her boyfriend the rich Texan. George might be looking and Sarah is available now that the people of Alaska know their Govenor is an idiot. Todd the first Dude will have to go back to fishing. Maybe Sarah will have time to raise her children now so the three left wont have the problem of the two older kids who raised themselves.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:39 pmWhy do I get the feeling that when Troll John Kerry sees his friends pull into the Burger King lot where he works, after they’ve gotten their order and they’re about to leave, he races out to the parking lot, jumps in their car, rips a hellacious fart, jumps out and sprints back to his post at the fry station?
It just seems like something that would tickle him.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:51 pmIs it Take the Money and Run, when Woody Allen’s character is seeking a job after going straight and the interviewer asks him if he has ever run some sort of computer system and he looks briefly befuddled before responding with a “Yes, yes, I have”? This sort of reminds me of that
September 30th, 2008 at 8:53 pmSo, Gov. Palin, I was wondering, what are your favorite comic books? Batman? Superman? Archie?
September 30th, 2008 at 8:54 pmPerhaps the Palin pick was meant to appeal to a certain subset of voters.
This Daily Show bit presents retirees, and their comments after watching the debate. The dyed lady in the last row is clearly basing her judgements on faulty information:

September 30th, 2008 at 9:18 pmShe should’ve just been honest and admit that she doesn’t read any of the newspapers. Hardly anyone does anymore, that’s why they’re laying off staff in the thousands and shutting down.

September 30th, 2008 at 9:32 pmIs this considered “gotcha” journalism? I mean, Katie asked her a question and Palin didn’t know what newspapers or magazines she reads. Surely that was an unfair question. Let’s have somebody ask Biden what he reads and see if he gets offended or confused.
September 30th, 2008 at 9:36 pmWell, good! Now which of them do you read?
By the time of the debate, the public will have such low expectations of her that she’ll get credit for anything she says that’s slightly smarter than what she said to Katie Couric.

She is just completely unraveling. Katie knows it, too. She asks Palin questions like a schoolteacher would ask a second grader. Seriously, Palin, you can’t even name the Anchorage Daily News? They’ve been all up in your grill for months!

Yes, so scared. After all she reads everything put in front of her Le Monde, Die Welt, Dagens Nyheter, Asahi Shimbun, etc. It doesn’t matter, she reads them all noatrer the language, no matter the alphabet. She is the smartest person in the WORLD, no the UNIVERSE. Scared poopless we are,. Idiot
September 30th, 2008 at 10:00 pmHere’s another instant classic utterly incoherent nonsense comment from governor Palin. This time on her joke about listening to Bidens speeches since she was in 2nd grade
Katie Couric: You have a 72-year-old running mate, is that kind of a risky thing to say, insinuating that Joe Biden’s been around awhile?
Gov. Palin: Oh no, it’s nothing negative at all. He’s got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we’ve been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he’s got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I’m the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he’s got the experience based on many many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years.
Please make her stop!
September 30th, 2008 at 10:00 pmShould be no matter above. JK is still a moron, I just can’t type
September 30th, 2008 at 10:01 pmShe could have said National Geo, that way she would have improved her travel experiences. Don’t ya know.
BTW — Why is this woman trotting her preggo daughter around like a unwed poster child?
September 30th, 2008 at 10:06 pmBritney Spears would have made a good Republican VP. Her and Palin both are big Bush supporters, and have a void between their ears.
September 30th, 2008 at 10:14 pmShe can’t name a newspaper? And I gave her credit for majoring in journalism over communications. I think somebody better check into those transcripts.
September 30th, 2008 at 10:27 pm“I think somebody better check into those transcripts.”
Why? We all know what the Tracy Flick’s of the world do as undergrads…
September 30th, 2008 at 10:29 pmCompulsive liars never like to answer any questions because they’re afraid of getting caught in a lie. But even the worst liar should be able to come up with the name of one daily newspaper.
September 30th, 2008 at 10:54 pmThese are definitely too painful to watch anymore. I get so uncomfortable watching Katie and previously Charlie ask these pathetic questions that should be unnecessary to ask a Vice Presidential candidate. Yet, they have to ask them to see just what she is about, and because she hasn’t shown she can handle more challenging questions. On some level I feel like they are trying to help her; trying to give her something that she can easily answer and get herself comfortable so she can then show her stuff. On another level, I think they are genuinely mystified at the complete lack of comprehension and coherence Palin displays. Katie seems absolutely bewildered at times.
September 30th, 2008 at 11:00 pmDid anyone else see Bay Buchanan *shudder* defend Palin saying, I shite you not, that “…you don’t speak with your mind if you want to reach the American people.”
Yikes!
It’s all too surreal; I really should take a break.
September 30th, 2008 at 11:05 pmYeah, she’s a real disaster.
September 30th, 2008 at 11:18 pmYou nailed it Shayne. Her first, last, and only, reaction is to lie. So, when she gets an innocuous question for which she has no prepared lie, she freezes. Telling the simple truth never even occurs to her.
And, soon on FAUX, the blowhards will be screaming about how that “librul activist Katie Couric” put Bible Spice on the spot and claimed she couldn’t read.
September 30th, 2008 at 11:42 pmThe worst comment was at the end: “Alaska is really a microcosm of America.” WHAT!!!??? I don’t think that anyone or any city in, say, Georgia could be compared to ANYTHING in Alaska. She seems to think that if one Italian-American sets foot in Alaska, we’re talkin’ “Little Italy”. This comment proves without a doubt that she has barely, if ever, been out of the state for more than 1 month, collectively, in her entire life. Wait a minute, I retract what I said about Georgia: the governor’s mansion in Juneau is a white-columned house about one tenth the size of any antebellum plantation house, and, although it looks vaguely like a grandiose tract home, I suppose it qualifies for the microcosm category.
If you want to see the entire list of lies, distortions and gaffs, go to Women Against Sarah Palin (WASP). You will laugh and cry and be amazed
October 1st, 2008 at 12:01 amAn interesting clip from the folks who should know Bible Spice the best. I’m getting to the point I feel like bathing after watching her.

WOW!! Seems like you libs are REALLY scared of the lovely Sarah!!!! Getting a little panicky aren’t we!!!!!
Well, I don’t blame you!!

This is true. We are, in fact, quite terrified that when the Republicans steal this election, this moron will be a heartbeat away from the presidency. That thought should terrify anyone with a functioning brain.
October 1st, 2008 at 12:46 amBut she’ll be “likable” and that will be all that matters to a percentage of voters. My dad voted for Bush in 2004 because he liked Laura Bush better than Theresa Heinz Kerry. The 2004 election was proof that no election is lost underestimating the intelligence of the American people. And some vote theft, too.
October 1st, 2008 at 12:47 amMcP are going to lose anyway.
Regardless of whether she had named magazines and newspapers as you are all insisting she ought to have, there would still be over a hundred posts here ripping on her for her poor choice in news source. However poorly she handled herself, her response to that question simply does nothing but entertain people who enjoy gorging themselves on such inconsequential things, as they no doubt will on this comment.

October 1st, 2008 at 1:01 amI’m with you Cal. It’s just not possible to steal an election that isn’t close. And I don’t think the Worst Ticket Ever can keep it close. The press can’t even hide the obvious fact that Flippy and Chippy are as wrong as they could possibly be, in every way. And they seem to be losing a couple points a day on average.
Not that I’ll trust much of anything till after the next inauguration.
October 1st, 2008 at 1:32 amSarah Palin’s reading list: “My Pet Goat.”
October 1st, 2008 at 1:39 amShe mostly reads ” Play Girl “.
October 1st, 2008 at 1:43 amI still don’t think she reads. “We have sources” is a dead give away. She gets fed lines and always has. I have yet to see an instance where she has expressed an acquired knowledge of anything.
Whatever her husband, Pastor, and “advisor”, plants in her head is what spills out. Though it’s seldom very coherent so? I suspect that the voices in her head supply a few off the cuff remarks.
October 1st, 2008 at 1:55 amRemember the old movies where some fat old dowager, or Countess, would scoff, “dreadful woman”! When the “beutiful low-born heroine with a heart of gold” walked in?
I think Bible Spice will have every rational being on the planet saying “Dreadful Woman”!!! Whenever they hear or see her. And they will be 100% accurate in their assertion, unlike the fat old dowagers in old movies.
October 1st, 2008 at 2:05 amwe’re entering a historic moment people…we’re about to witness a train wreck originating in wasilla alaska, and ending in washington d.c. it’s gonna be a big one
October 1st, 2008 at 5:57 amSources? The voices in your head don’t count sweetie.
October 1st, 2008 at 6:55 amDoes anyone remember the Andy Griffith episode when they had to prep Earnest T. Bass for the dance and Mrs. Wylie’s????
How-do-you-do-Mrs.-Wylie?
Soon we’ll hear…”"It ain’t fair! And she called me a creachture!”
Just thinkin’
October 1st, 2008 at 7:00 amShe reads all of them? OMG, Biden doesn’t have a chance compared to someone that well-informed.
October 1st, 2008 at 7:48 amShe has a lot on her plate right now.
In Anchorage they’re still trying to decide on what color the new zamboni should be.

October 1st, 2008 at 8:10 amOh boy *rolling eyes* is this woman for real?
Wow she reads every single newspaper printed in the US.
Just answer the question you ignorant trollop.
October 1st, 2008 at 9:43 amAnd why is it that everytime I hear this womans voice I am overcome with a strong urge to shove red hot iron spikes into both of my ears?
October 1st, 2008 at 9:45 amShe reads all the newspapers (must be thousands of them in just the USA) but can’t name a single Supreme Court decision.
So her reading comprehension can’t be too good, can it ?
October 1st, 2008 at 11:39 am“her response to that question simply does nothing but entertain people who enjoy gorging themselves on such inconsequential things, as they no doubt will on this comment.”
wow, you just won tp’s “I just took as long as possible to not say anything” award.. kilo, is that you?
October 1st, 2008 at 2:27 pmAlaska Gubernatorial (not editorial) comment: “Um, all of them.”
October 1st, 2008 at 5:10 pmEnglish translation: “None of them.”
If she can’t even remember the name of the Anchorage or Juneau dailies, she obviously doesn’t read them.
Just like the cold war when everyone who didn’t agree with the U.S. was either a communist or a communist sympathizer. toki This poor crazy guy spent half a decade being tortured because a bunch
