Do Over! Palin Answers Katie Couric's Questions ... to Fox News' Carl Cameron (She Reads The Economist, She Says)

she makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. she is an insult to all americans.....

she is especially insulting to those young men and women fighting for "freedoms". good grief. i'm glad so few are finding her anything but shallow and full of b.s. she reminds me of the saying, "if you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bs

Oh You guys You. You are funny. I have a question for Palin : Is Alaska on the East or West side of the Globe?

What a crock of crap in an interview!

Sp Palin goes to Right Wing outlets where they can act like they are FAIR AND BALANCED? AND WE SHOULD JUST ACCEPT THAT WE WILL GET ANOTHER RW IDEOLOGUE WHO SELLS THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WHO DOES NOT AGREE WITH THEIR AGENDA DOWN THE TUBES?

Is the rest of what goes for journalists going to take this b.s. lying down?

In reply to those curious about Alaskans and their motives, Sarah Palin was elected governor, because the Republican governor she replaced had the lowest ratings in Alaska history.(There are many reasons). Of the other two candidates, one had been a Democratic governor. (Alaskans abandoned the Democrats, because of natural resource development vs.conservation questions) The other candidate, also a Republican, was not well-known enough.I personally was amazed at her win. Many of us were amazed and astonished by McCain's choice of this novice governor. The real travesty would be if she were indeed elected to be the Vice President of the United States.Alaska is paying dearly for our misjudgment; let the country not do the same.

Ha hah![/Nelson]

One of the good things about this election is that with such an overwhelming victory by the Dems., there is a very good chance that the Repubs. who have been progressively dumbing down their candidates since Reagan, just might have to be forced into giving the American public a candidate with a brain and the wisdom to use it correctly. I guess we will see in 2012.
Remember that these polling numbers we keep seeing do not include those without a land based phone line. Most people I know in their 20's only have cell phones. Thats alot of young new voters who are not represented in any of these polls we see.
Landslide for Obama/Biden in November.

Wow, this blog is sure populated by a bunch of folks spouting propaganda they've clearly just memorized, trying to sound intelligent, but reminding one vaguely of the hatred seen in the faces of those performing a stoning in Iran....

And those are the liberals! Wow, I used to be one of you!

It's just eating your lunches that she is kicking butt, and that people like her. You can't believe ol' Mac pulled a woman out of the hat (when you killed off the best candidate out there, who happened to be a woman - so much for the liberals' claim to be the party that can best represent women) and what's worse, you can't believe she is this GOOD as a raw, untrained, unsophisticated talent.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. If I wasn't impressed by McCain before, I sure am now. And as an ambitious woman that has traveled the world, taking my child with me on business trips, making that work-family thing balance as best one can, I totally back Palin, and am cheering her on!

I would like to copy and paste a quote directly from the Carl Cameron interview.

"There's not going to be the cutting and pasting and editing of any of our comments. Right on."

Power to the Palin.

I finally decided that Palin, in her last paragraph, says that the press, so as not to aid "those fighting freedom of the press," should not take advantage and exploit and "abuse the PRIVILEGE" of freedom of the press.

So much for the Bill of Rights.

But of course when you speak so elliptically, you can deny that there was any such meaning, or any meaning at all, in what you said.

I've read many daily newspapers and weekly and monthly magazines, for years and years, but I can't remember a single one of them!! I read the articles in them, but of course I don't remember what newspaper I'm reading at the time!! Yeah right, and I have a bridge to nowhere to sell you. Sarah is a terrible example for our children.

Sarah Palin was not treated badly by news reported prior to this last Fox Interview. News Reporters actually treated her with kids gloves. Couric was extremely nice. Sarah Palin has had plenty of time for adjusting to news interviews when running for mayor and while serving as governor for two years. Sarah Palin excuses and attacks upon media inexcusable. She is a Vice Presidential candidate and must to be ready to answer questions.

Well Caribou Barbie

If you answer the questions like a dufus of course you are going to get clobbered.

Politics is all about know how to talk about stuff that you don't have a clue about.

Shhhhhh don't tell anyone. But Barack doesn't know a lot about certain things but he can definitely talk his way out of a corner.

Ms Palin ... she talks herself into a corner and turns on the big neon light "HEY LOOK OVER HERE.... I AM CLUELESS"

so much so that SNL doesn't even have to embellish the her words to make a joke.

I read all of them ......

how about

You know Katie.... not one particular one is coming to mind right now.

or

I don't even read. I just wink and smile and show a little leg and get all folksy and people just love that and they vote for me.

or

I wanna talk about barack's tax plan.

or

I wanna talk about my track record as a energy regulator.

Foxy Sarah Palin not good enough to make independent voters to vote McCain.
Too much talking but not any substance! Foxspin not Fair not Balanced!

I’m not really sorry to say some big Fox spin masters are in urgent need of psychiatric evaluation and help. They are the main reason for the election of Bush to White House, and for consequence they are responsible for his failure and the suffering of the American people! Now they are trying again to do the same, with Johnny Macaroni and Sarah Plain.!

"...we've really got to have a mutually beneficial relationship here with those fighting freedom of the press."

I believe this is an attempt to kiss and make up with Charlie Gibson for whom Palin secretly has the hots.

Grey matter,

Thanks for the clarification.

I am glad to hear that.

My unreserved apologies to Alaskans for jumping to conclusion about them on account of Gov. Palin's inaptitude

I agree.

Come on. Palin reads the Economist? Oh really? She doesn't seem TOO knowledgeable on issues that are discussed in the Economist.

I have no idea why she couldn't answer the question when it was Katie Couric posing it. I didn't see anything derogatory Katie was trying to insinuate that she was "out of touch" being kind of isolated in Alaska from the rest of the United States. This is one thing I don't like about her behaviour, she is always so defensive and likes starting culture wars.

The McCain Campaign knew that her IQ is not too impressive. That was why they went for a debate format that would allow her to avoid questions she considered tough without being called to reckoning on them.

I am sure subsequent interviews will be monitored and controlled by McCain Campaign to save them from further embarrassment.

I wonder which professional Journalist will allow herself to be controlled because she wants to interview Sarah Palin.

They should save us from further embarrassment by withdrawing this Woman from other Press engagements.

People watch her interviews not because they expect her to say something sensible, but to listen to her gaffes and apparent lack of depth.

She is fast becoming a comic relief after a day's job.

Dare Nigeria,

Alaskans don't all love Sarah Palin.

Just go to any video sharing website and search for "Anti-Palin". You'll find lots of videos of rallies of enraged Alaskans carrying very creative signs.

They're fed-up that Mrs "Hold Me Accountable" has gone back on her word and is now trying to stall her ethics investigation.
