Just stumbled onto this web site after attempting to view the Palin/Couric interview once again. I just adore sites like this as it attracts the very core of liberal thinking. Ever wonder why most of our university profs are liberal, and propagate their beliefs to the student population, it's easy, it's where they perfectly "safe" from the outside world once they receive tenure. How very sweet....Obama plans to expand that very same philosophy do the do-nothings in our society. Berkely, now that's a real right wing hot bed...lol. Everyone have just very best day you can...

The media should be non partisan. The media must only report the facts, not opinions.

I agree completely. The interview made me want to gag, it was THAT hard to watch. She circumvents questions constantly; I bet she couldn't tell you what her favorite color was (but she'll find you it and bring it to you!)

I also agree about going to Canada if she is made President. There is NO way I'm going to stand behind someone like that. I mean Bush was terrible, but one can only take so much!

So now I hear she's in political boot camp...ONE MONTH BEFORE THE ELECTION!??!?! Ummmmm.....shouldn't she already have these skills? Talk about inexperience!

Oh and the fact that she didn't get her passport until LAST YEAR!!!!!!! And her answer was because "her parents didn't have the money to send her off on a trip after college". Umm bi**ch you're old and rich enough to have done it by now! When she said that I seriously wanted to reach out through the screen and slap her. My parents never gave me any cash but I still managed to save up enough to go to Europe when I was 18. Thanks Palin but her answers = FAIL.

It is not my place to question another man or womans intelligence, however this poor woman was thrown into the fire all for the sake of getting Hillary voters. As you can plainly see, she knows zero about McCain, let alone about the world. I have to agree with another poster, she should have rejected the offer to become VP. Sad, it really is, and tomorrow she goes national! WOW!

This woman is SO stupid, I can't believe they elected her governor of any place! She is illiterate or cannot read newspapers and has extremely poor comprehension skills and has no idea what is going on in the real world as witnessed by her answers to reporter's questions on local and world events!!!! She can't even speak a proper sentence let alone answer the question directed towards her. If the Republicans win this election and this woman has a good shot on becoming the "president" of the United states of America due to MacCain's (poor) health not prevailing the stress of being the president of this nation during this stressful time, I will certainly move to Canada. Why? Well we are already fighting two wars and she will fight another with Russia and another with Iran! Palin is insane! What ever happened to the America that wan noble and deplomatic? Palin is frighteningly reminiscent of George W Bush - enough, is enough. Please don't buy into this Republican propaganda - Americans are not that stupid. Come on!

Palin is an idiot. And anyone who claims that this interview was biased is probably just a "Sarah Palin Stepford" in disguise. How can asking questions ABOUT FACTS and requesting reactions and citations ABOUT FACTS be biased?

Haven't we had enough of a leader who can't pronounce words clearly - no more "folkies" talk. I start with that because I am speechless about how unable she was to answer a question on her own - it was how John McCain feels or thinks. What were they thinking in selecting her. The possibility that she could become the President is beyond comprehension. The Dan Quayle comparison is frightening but appropriate.

Dave, have you seen the follow-up where McCain joins Palin to be interviewed by Katie Couric? http://www.youtube.com/watc... It's just as embarrassing.

Can you imagine two *male* candidates being all chummy, yucking it up during an interview? McCain = gramps. Palin = adorable daughter, daddy's little girl. For Katie Couric, interviewing Palin alone or McCain/Palin together makes "gotcha journalism" look like shooting fish in a barrel. Too easy.

She is WORSE than Dan Quayle. I never thought I would live to see a politician (esp. in such potentially powerful position) who was more ignorant and ill-informed than Dan Quayle. She provides the only comic relief in the midst of our current economic crisis. If this ticket wins, I will have lost every ounce of faith I had left in the intelligence of America as a whole.

Scary! McCain is a maverick alright - picking a vp candidate with little interview skills and even less knowledge about the man she will be backing up. She is McCain's Dan Quayle.

"I'll try to find ya some, and I'll bring 'em to ya."... My goodness! If Mrs. Palin can hardly handle an interview from the notoriously gentle Katie Couric, she is no condition to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Sarah Palin reminds me of Bush Jr. more and more everyday. Whether it be her hypocrisy concerning transparency in government while she blocks subpoenas in her own state, or her mixing of the phrases "God" and "War in Iraq", or her rediculous claims of foreign policy experience due to Alaska's proximity to Russia. No matter how you slice it, Palin is following the current administrations tactics and rhetoric...and therefore also following it's failures!

McCain is the idiot here. He and Sarah will go down in history as the worst presidential candidates. What McCain did to Palin, her family, and the women of America is sad and shameful. Of all the people to fill in for a President upon his/her death, he finds Palin. This is the Peter Principle at an extreme. OMG!!!!

The best decision she should have made when offered the position as Vice-Presidential candidate
was to say " Thanks but no thanks". I'm not yet ready for that responsibility and have a lot of work to finish
in Alaska ! Instead she takes the bait McCain gives her and in doing so endangers all of us in the event
she takes over as president ( that is assuming they win the election)! McCain is arrogant and appears to
show signs of senility or at best..... bad judgement affecting our welfare as a whole as Americans.
Even during the debate with Obama, McCain never once made eye contact - doesn't that bother anyone ?
Palin also is by far not the package they are trying to sell the American voters.

Her answers to questions reminded me of a beauty pageant contestant(!) who's asked the "big question," and doesn't have a clue how to respond. She babbles words, faking the response -- and compensates for the lack of on-topic substance with over-the-top self-confidence. She's actually arrogant about her ignorance....

Actually, I read her bio in Newsweek, and it said she was very interested in becoming President. We should all blame her for accepting when she is not qualified. We should blame the Republican Party machine for allowing McCain to choose her, and we should ultimately blame McCain for doing so. It is highly irresponsible to think that it is OK to put up a person with this little education and intelligence, never mind experience, as the second in line to the "throne" of the Presidency.

It is sad to see a women with potential used solely for political gain by a man past his prime, solely for political gain. In 2000 I would have given my vote to John McCain, now I give him my thank you for your past contributions, but I cannot give you or Ms. Palin my vote.

NO WONDER THEY HAVE BEEN SHIELDING HER FROM THE PRESS!!!! She's utterly clueless! Deer in the headlights!

It is completely obvious that everything Palin and McCain say is a lie. The reason they can't speak well is because they are lying through their teeth. The bailout is nothing more than Bush's last stand, his last opportunity to orchestrate the biggest heist in history, and the scare tactics are the equivalent of the "weapons of mass destruction" scare tactics. They want it quick so that nobody realizes its all BS.

I live in Canada but I am embarrassed for the women of America. McCain hand-picked Palin in order to draw women's votes but women are not dumb and they see Palin for what she is; a small fish in a huge pond.
Bow out gracefully Ms. Palin - while you still can.

Lois: were you serious? She is not fit to be the mayor of her little town. There's only so much editing and cutting you can do. Watch the clip again, over a minute of running dialogue. The world will laugh at us if she is elected.
