Palin on Fox - Annoyed at Couric
I think this lady would do best to keep her mouth shut. Honestly. The "campy" factor is high. The phoniness factor is way high. And ... I don't know.


Exactly! You took the words right out of my mouth. Also, why the heck doesn't she get to ask her own gosh darn questions in those interviews? Seems a little unfair to me.
"We need John McCain to leave... uh... lead this country." - Palin, Vice Presidential Debate
McCain/Palin Deathwatch, September 24 '08: McCain presently has a (partially complimentary) 30% chance of winning the election.
I disagree. The newspapers that you read are very important to what you know. If you read strictly conservative bias media, you will look at everything with that bias.
I usually watch PBS.
Wolfman, I think we are being ironic.
PBS is generally liberally biased. They do a good job assessing debates though.

Their news is known for stating only the facts. If they were bias, they wouldn't be on the air because their money comes from viewers like me.
I knew that Sarg, I was being Ironic.
This just keeps getting better and better. I swear, sometimes I feel like we are experiencing the political equivalent of Days of Our Lives. And soon McCain's head will start spinning and, low and behold, Palin will have her former minister come and exorcise him!
THAT must be the October surprise! WOOOHOOOO!
Trick or treat, smell my feet....
"The Sarah Palin in that interview is a little bit annoyed."
Sarah Palin -- The gift that keeps on giving for Obama - Biden.
Word! And even Fox Noise can't save her. Last night viewers voted Biden 2 to 1 as winner of the debate.

If "what magazines and periodicals did you read?" is not a softball question, I'm not sure what is. It's hysterical to imply that is some kind of "gotcha" question. She might be best to tone it down-Katie Couric is a well-respected journalist. I think most people find her to be fair.
Speaking of being careful about what comes out of her mouth, she expressed disagreement with McCain's campaign about pulling out of Michigan. I guess knowing she will have extended powers as VP, she is getting an early start on making sure she is heard loud and clear. I hope she doesn't step on too many toes in McCain's inner circle.
One thing I'll say is that she is confident. When asked to discuss a weakness in the debate, she went on and on about her strengths (maybe she did not understand the question.) How many of us would be so humiliated by the interviews she has given and SNL skits, etc. I would have been ashamed to go on that stage. But she seemed as cheery and confident as someone who had just earned the Pulitzer Prize. However, I can't help but think of Cheney when I see that level of confidence and it scares me.
I think you're right about her not understanding that question. She may not have none what an "Achilles heal" is.
It did seem to me that she was nervous, making every attempt to hide it. Which is fine. But for me that shows she has some awareness of her penchant for babbling ... or at least she is aware that others think she is babbling.
But the fact that Palin seems more confident and pleased with herself, than nervous and horrified by her underwhelming political prowess, could reflect a lack of intelligence. She may not realize just how scattered and shallow her thoughts really are.
Irony: being a little mentally dull could keep you from seeing that you are a little mentally dull.

:) I think this describes W. to a tee.
That is a very good point. I mean, if we were sitting around trying to think of the EASIEST possible questions to answer, I don't think we could come up with anything better.
What could have been easier? "What is your favorite breakfast cereal?," or "Do you like puppies?"
Couric, despite her recent network upgrade, is still not known particularly as being a "hard news" journalist. If Palin has a problem with Couric, it only shows what a lightweight she really is.
