Wow. Her lack of focus on reality never ceases to entertain me, even 2 1/2 years later. I can’t believe anybody would vote for her. That people feel connected to her only emphasizes how badly our public school system has failed our country. She speaks half truths, avoids speaking on legitimate news stations, doesn’t address important issues raised to her. Unbelievable.

Gov. Palin could have and should have answered Couric’s questions if nothing more than the Anchorage newspaper or Time magazine. However, it was really a nonsensical, put-down question. Couric did a lousy job as if she were attempting to “get to” Sarah Palin. No wonder CBS is dead last.

McCain would have done better with Michael Palin

I have just wasted my time reading this entire blog. It proves the United States really has become an uneducated nation! I thought Couric stooped to an all time low in shady reporting tactics and outright disrespect. She should be fired immediately! She has brought down an entire news agency…but then CBS has always been at the bottom of the heap so maybe she is their “secret weapon” to try to make it out of the mudhole by manipulating Courics childish pranks into news. I would caution everyone to be alert to, and refuse to support, any media that uses the “seek and destroy” mentality!

I have a master’s degree in international relations, have traveled far and wide in the world and read all the time. I’m in no way qualified to be vice president and neither is Palin.
She simply throws out vapid comments that mean nothing in essence but evoke emotion in those less capable of comprehending what she’s actually saying.
She and McCain are calling it “mainstream media” that practices “gotcha” journalism and then it is so to their supporters or people on the fence who are too lazy to investigate for themselves.
I thought Couric was asking really fair questions and in many instances, giving Palin ample opportunity to discuss who she is and how she will be able to adequately fill the seat of vp.
The fact that Palin herself said she was annoyed because all she wanted to talk about was how Obama is going to raise taxes shows a lack of respect for the free press. And her defensiveness over the newspapers question was beyond me. Couric was letting her again prove her knowledge of foreign affairs, but Palin chose to take it as a dig she’s from Alaska. That was strange – I didn’t get that at all.
She is being asked fair, straight-forward questions and cannot or will not answer them and we’re suppose to be okay with that sort of evasion.
I am middle America – Missouri in fact – and this woman is not speaking to or for me because she is basically condescending what I do believe in – free press, right to information, intellectualism, etc.

So she is now painting herself not as dumb but as flippant? Does she assume that is a good thing?
Everyone knows, Sarah, that you didn’t answer the questions because you had no idea what to say. No one is buying your do-over interviews with your friends at Fox.

I agree. Being able to answer the same questions a second time is ridiculous. Of course she was prepped in how she “should” have answered the questions. The point is that the Supreme Court question or the newspaper questions were not hard. Any high school student in US history should be able to cite Brown v Board of edcuation or Plessy v Ferguson or Miranda or even the recent supreme court case Palin’s own office put out a letter on and Palin signed – the Exxon Valdez settlement.
She cannot talk intelligently about thses things and she does not know what Hamas is, what the Bush doctrine was and she is trying to bluff her way through this.
She is unqualfied to be a VP, let alone a president. She cannot even answer questions or speak coherently. The last anwer about freedom of the press is nonsensical – but it appears she is against freedom of the press – it is just so hard to tell exactly what she is saying. Someone who is this incoherent, even in a friendly interview, is simply not qualified.

Why is this woman so rude to people?
Her unresponsive answers just provoke follow up. If she applied for a regular job and was as evasive, vague, and apparently confused as she has been I guarantee she would not get a call back.
I wouldn’t hire her to work at a fast food restaurant and she expects the country to elect her to vice president based on snarky bad manners and a smile.
I don’t think so.

Plain sounds like she still thinks the Feudal system is still in existence. In a scary look I think she wants it back. No habeas corpus and freedom of the press is a privilege granted by the ruling class.
This women is dangerous!!!
