Did it ever occur to you that Palin may have gotten flustered and nervous standing next to a turkey-necked bitch like Katie Couric who interrupts frequently?
You think Couric frequently interrupted Palin? You haven’t watched the interview, have you?
I counted two interruptions in 45 seconds, and heard a distinct tone of condescension and forced amiability from Couric. Palin’s crossed arms indicated that Couric made her feel defensive. Contrast Couric’s behavior toward Palin with that of the rest of the media’s fawning over Obama, their glossing of relationships with unsavory characters in his life, and their mindless repetition of Obama’s “hope” drivel.
I’ve seen plenty of other Couric interviews. In this video, she interviews Obama and McCain. To be fair, she did get tough with Obama on the surge, but the smile present in the Obama interview was gone in the McCain interview. Her tone was decidedly different as well:
Here’s part II of her Obama interview:
Notice her softer tone and her attempts at suppressing a smile?
So you’re arguing that Couric was a meanie and unfair to Palin? Give me a break. Palin couldn’t or wouldn’t give a straight answer. She apparently “felt defensive” (your words) and folded with Katie Couric. What happens if she has real problems to deal with? What happens if she has real pressure?
I realize you’re struggling to defend this woman and I suppose I should give you applause for your persistence if condemnation for your inability to be objective, but we’re talking about the future of the country. Bush has been roundly condemned for his inabilities, I’m quite literally scared for the future of this country if Palin becomes president.

What I’m offering is a plausible explanation for Palin’s mis-speaking, nothing more. Couric’s makes no effort to conceal who she likes politically. I’m not really sure this is even open to debate. There was a poll done before Couric became anchor at CBS, and upwards of 90% of the respondents said CBS news would have a liberal bias or be even more liberal than it already is with her as anchor. Palin hasn’t been rehearsing her presidential run since her early days in the Chicago racial agitation and political scene as has Obama. She didn’t write her autobiography when she was 29, as did Obama. (What unbelievable narcissism drives someone in their late twenties to write an autobiography?) She isn’t running as first-term Senator (unbelievable narcissism, again). She isn’t as polished. I can’t find any evidence that her IQ is low, and those who say so should probably start providing evidence that theirs is high enough to warrant running around calling others stupid.
If you’re scared for a Palin presidency, you should ask yourself why you’re not similarly scared of a return of socialism, which hasn’t been successful anywhere it’s been tried, unless you call high unemployment a success. He is one of the most liberal people in the Senate, a career white-guilter and racial agitator like his diversicrat wife, a gun-grabber, and a Marxist like his biological father, pastor, and other comrades (pun intended).
