Ah yes, gotcha questions like “what newspapers do you read”?

I wish couric would have followed up the question with “what magazines do you read”…that would have made her absurd “all of them” answer sound even more ludicrous…

Hahahaha, Sarah, you were totally punked by Katie. Now shut up. Take Katie’s sage advice, and shut the F up.

Really… Never enough kudos to Katie Couric, who I think does deserve our great respect. I thought she would be a puppy dog when she interviewed Palin, but she did her job admirably and like a true professional. By doing the one thing that mattered: Not accepting some circular BS answer and just moving on. She demanded a straight answer.

The electorate would be better served if all interviews of candidates were conducted that way. Many thanks to Ms. Couric for reminding her colleagues of that through her example.

Funny how she gets upset about the media and accuses of dishonest reporting. She just wants to be able to say what she wants and be unchecked.
Check out this funny Palin McCain parody:

What we must do at this time is keep a very sharp eye on Palin and her like. This is part of the learning opportunity our current times offer to us. She is of that certain type of person who does not learn and does not listen. And she is carrying a toxic ideology for the health of any democracy and does not know it. Inside she may be only a virus doing what it is programmed to do. But she has no clue of her nonsense. We need to beware the right wing attempt to make all the media look the same as that is one of their total propaganda devices. These people are bad for the health of America and yet we are wise to forgive them. Just do not let them have the keys to the Oval Office or the nuclear codes.

“I’d like to kind of help build back that credibility in that cornerstone of our democracy called our media…”

BIG HINT: I’m negotiating a contract with FOX News.

Where is the Chris Mathews interview of Palin? I’d pay good money to see that live! Of course she knows that would be gotcha all the way and would rather gargle with moose reproductive juice than face off with a real hard hitting interviewer.

The way to deal with Gov. Palin is to focus a MICROSCOPE on Alaska.

This state probably has more elected officials on the way to Jail, or under Indictment than any other.

Alaska probably gets more Taxpayer money too.

And as the price of oil has Plummeted, so has Alaska’s revenue.

So… how is this World Famous Governor handling things?? If Gov. Palin’s political future is Front Page News, then Alaska’s political and economic situation should be Front Page News ALSO.

The only WAY Palin is going to reserect her damaged image, is with help with the complicit cable shows, that are putting her on, over reporting, and mentioning her every time they get a chance .
It just starts with Greta’s infomercials and then spreads like a virus to CNN, that basically talks about her all day , and had her on Blitzer with a so called interview and on Larry King on the same damn day . If CNN has any sense of shame , any sense of what journalists SHOULD be covering, they wouldn’t be providing the opportunity for her to attack her critics and play the victim card .
But since Cable ” NEWS ” is now a waste land of discussion, political theater, and contrived controversies , she fits their formula for cheap and easing ratings .

Objectivity? Objectively, she can’t speak the English language. She uses the word “progress” as a verb, “there” as a mental crutch and “being” as a adjective.

Warning; If English is your second language. DO NOT try to learn it from listening to Palin.

Has she released her medical records yet? Or is she afraid they would be subject to biased reporting?

Palin came out (at the Convention) guns blazing aimed at the media. It was yet another piece of soul that McCain had to sell for the campaign. He was once their darling, but this was all crafted for Palin because they had figured out for themselves by that point (in between the selection and the Convention) that she wouldn’t hold up if confronted by even the most mundane questioning by the media.

What’s sad (really funny) is that she doesn’t realize that she’s just being pursued by the media now because of the side-show freak aspect of her “persona” while she’s taking it all so seriously.

Those ideas really bounce around a lot in that big empty head.

Like a single BB in an empty tuna can.

And we all know that an empty can rattles the most. This chick rattles on like a old typewriter. Palin is an idiot – of the highest order. The GOP is toast if this is the best they can come up with. Palin 2012!!!!!

Why keep talking about this irrelevant person. We won, let’s move on.

Andrew Sullivan explains “Why Palin Still Matters” and I think he’s exactly right.

At root:

Her candidacy, in short, was indefensible. It remains indefensible. Until the mainstream media, the GOP establishment, and the conservative intelligentsia acknowledge the depth of their error, this blog will keep demanding basic accountability.
