The interview that finally made people appreciate news-person Katie Couric — the incredibly painful-to-watch Sarah Palin meltdown — will continue giving gifts to the American public. CBS apparently has two more Palin answers to another couple of Couric questions. Are they possibly as shamefully fantastic as the previous clips? We can Hope, America. [Washington Post, 2nd item]
The gift that keeps on giving. If Sarah Palin didn’t exist, Barack Obama would have had to invent her.
She’s magnificent.
She’s gotta go study for this Thursday!!!! I bet she uses index cards and a pink highlighter.
Every time Palin answers a question, an angel gets its wings.
I KNEW they left the best parts on the video editor’s hard drive. This woman is gold!
Oct 2nd is going to be GREAT!
Thank you CBS for serving as a filter for us ignorant Amurricans! You know we can’t handle the truth except in small bites.
And by the way, has Dan Rather found the fax that Lincoln sent to General Grant yet?
columnv: Is it the 3rd?? DAmn, how can I wait ONE MORE DAY?!
I read that she was asked ‘what is the worst thing Cheney did?’ & Bible Spice answered “shooting a friend in the face.” Being the gun nut she is, she would be disdainful of Cheney’s bad aim. Everyone knows when you point your gun at someone, you shoot to kill.
Plus that old coot was drawing Social Security; Bible Spice needs all the money she can to track harp seal DNA–just before she clubs them to death.
columnv: Come on, you seriously think Sarah ever studied, took notes or read textbooks? Seems more likely that she got through those five “colleges” by, uh, some other means.
I’ve found that my foreign policy experience has considerably improved over the last few weeks of watching CNN’s election coverage and all those ‘Pacific Life’ commercials - I think I see Russia behind that whale!!
Why are the pretty ones always so stupid?
Can’t we just get the whole interview? Why do we have to get a clip here and there?
I cannot wait to see the next question. With the entire financial market blowing up, I needs me some laughies.
“Now that we know you believe man and dinosaur lived together, do you believe that God is burying the fossils in an attempt to discern the true believers or do you think the Devil is burying them to separate us from our belief in God?”

I can almost see the cogs spinning in Couric’s head, she’s trying to lob Sarah softballs, but she keeps stepping in the way of the ball. Or perhaps Couric is thinking “Screw being nice to her because she’s a woman, she’s just too much of an idiot to hold any kind of important office!”
I can’t decide if Couric keeps asking her nice easy questions in an effort to help her out, or if she’s pointedly asking quite potentially dangerous questions but phrasing them with skill.
Perhaps she’s asking hard questions in a nice way, and Palin is just fumbling them all. More rope Sarah?
…whats the difference between a pit-bull and hockey mom?
You can at least teach a pit-bull tricks!
V572625694: bjs and bubblegum!
With Sarah in the White House, America will regain its sense of humor, and other coutries will love us again.
In one of the clips, she just lifts up her shirt, jiggles her boobies, and yells “SPRING BREAK! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!”
Worse?? The only thing that could be worse than what we have already seen is if they have footage of Palin drooling on her index cards, and lapping it up to clean them.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: They won’t ask her about the financial crisis, because Jammakain is against torture.
If she does have an answer, it’ll probably be read from a prepared statement.
Or maybe she’ll revert back to her default ‘greed in Washington and Wall Street’ bullshit.
If she had her left tit hanging out for the full hour, she wouldn’t be more exposed.
Where’s our Sara? Has she been hired as body double for Tina Fey?
dano: They’re not. But the smart pretty ones know their limitations, and don’t say “yup youbetcha!” when asked to do a job they are patently unqualified for, so they don’t get hours and hours of mocking screen time.
loquaciousmusic: Well, it did work for Bristol…
Had Katie & Co. run the interview in its entirety, CBS would once again be accused of bias against the GOP. That didn’t turn out so well for Katie’s predecessor, so they pulled Palin’s worst filmed punches. But in a YouTube world, t’won’t be long afore we all get to assess the damage.
What a weird electoral cycle, when Joy Behar comes across like Richard Ben Veniste and Katie Couric smells like Edward R. Murrow.
Meanwhile, the bingo callers who are actually supposed to BE journalists all behave as though IF they did their jobs, they might forfeit their invites to Bill Kristol’s New Year’s party or something. WTF is wrong with this picture?
BTW, McCain’s campaign is sending warning shots across Gwen Ifill’s bow, putting her on notice that asking Palin “hard” questions on Thursday won’t be considered etiquette.
THAT’s how you crack the glass ceiling: diminish the requirements when you’re addressing a girl. Because facts are so SEXIST! Thank Yahweh the GOP has decided it’s time to liberate the women.
“Governor Palin, given that Pastor Murthee drove the influences of witchcraft from you, what do you see as the role of witchcraft in modern day America?”
Godot: I prefer getting little clips here and there because then we can keep mocking her for multiple weeks.
magic titty: I still say that having your hand on the financial wheel in Alaska is like being the owner of a candy store with an unlimited supply. It gives you no background at all in having to budget or weigh needs versus wants. You just sit there on a big fat surplus and give out checks to your constituents. Tough job. Not.
shortsshortsshorts: and another moose isn’t gutted, another Alaskan wolf is spared being napalmed by the governorette’s helicopter, and another meth lab opens in Wa-Wa-silla.
S.Luggo: She’s in hiding at Walnut’s mansion in Sedona prepping for the debate. They got about 30 years of domestic issues, foreign policy, security and economic data to drill into her head. Like Walnuts likes to say “Drill, baby, drill.”
I heard that in one of the answeres Sarah Palin quotes in great detail the step by step process for manufacturing and packaging methamphetamine for sale. The oddest thing about the anwer is that Katie Couric’s question was about whether Sarah believed she could effectively perform the duties of the Vice Presidency despite having a special needs child.
Personally, I’d like to see Kevin Kline interview her. “That’s another chip up the nose, I’m afraid!”
Hmm. Maybe the GOP will assassinate her by Wednesday afternoon, hire a paid off ‘liberal’ to take the blame, and completely change the election in their favor after a national outcry against leftist agitators.
Bless her heart, but the brain train must’ve run out of track before it reached her house.
“This one time, at Young Republicans camp…..”
This from TPM:
Couric’s interviews with both Veep contenders will air on Wednesday and Thursday.
S.Luggo: shortsshortsshorts: Great. Now all she has to do is manage to answer a fucking question. Just once.
I think her brain needs some ‘fixin’ up and shakin’ up. Yup. Yup’
Texan Bulldoggette: To induce premature ejeculation among the Repug male pundits watching the debate, Tucker Bounds will pay every woman there to wear Palin/Fey/SKS glasses and red fuck-me pumps. For the benefit of the Pumas, the women will also have a late term baby-bump while all the while oozing amniotic fluid.
SuperRounder: What question would that be, Charlie?
S.Luggo: Isn’t this debate in St. Louis? I’m not sure how many men would want to see Claire McCaskill-look alikes dressed like [a pregnant no less] Bible Spice. Shudder….
Could there be mention of a lifeline for reals? http://tinyurl.com/3qrvtl
Terry: “Well, when the witches fly their brooms, where do you think they fly them to? That’s right, ALSKA!”
who’s up for VP debate bingo??
magic titty: Round up the Wobblies.
I’m loving all the conspiracy theorists on this. C’mon people, CBS is sitting on ratings gold, for the first time in a long time. Of course they are going to string it out. Hell, I’ve loathed La Couric for ages, and even I will be watching tonight and tomorrow.
CBS is giving us the goods in IV drips. A-murka can’t have that much stupit all at once.
And yes, Cronopio, it is also for ratings cuz CBS and Kouric sucks ass.
Godot: & Canuckledragger: If CBS had shown Caribou Barbie’s interview all at once, there would have been a pandemic of stupidity-induced epileptic seizures throughout the nation!
Hmmm…maybe that was the GOP’s plan: put intelligent voters into a coma, and depress the amount of voters on Nov. 4. The last election model I heard about said that if more than 115 million people vote, Hopey wins. If less than 115 million vote, it’s party time for Walnuts and Barbie!
I have to admire the subtle evil of the Repubtards. But God bless CBS and Katie for foiling their sinister plot. Give us Barbie in small doses, and we build up immunity to her stupidity!
I am totally throwing a party when that stuff airs.

4. fog machine
5. disco ball
6. Amsterdam psychotropic muffins
7. people, mustn’t forget lots of people
8. hire police to keep us safe (off duty overtime program)
The healthcare of we have to maverick situation is not terrorism of course tax relief must be a model maverick rears his head never again I’m a dummy, situation healthcare.
jinmoom: Well perhaps, but I’d like to be able to take in the whole thing once we’re done getting the new stuff. I just don’t want to miss anything because I only saw 4 out of 5 different YouTube clips.
By the way, is it wrong that I watched the Couric interviews about 20 times over the weekend?
loquaciousmusic: I bet she has so many stretch marks her tits look like footballs.
liquiddaddy: Hey America loves football.
Couric is a tool. When has any news station/paper EVER asked Obama any tough questions? Hell in the debate Obama couldn’t even remember the name of the soldiers bracelet he was wearing, he had to look. Didn’t have an index card or prompter for that one. Ooops….
The David Eggers reference made me sad about David Foster Wallace all over again… Could you imagine what he would have had to say about all this shit?
There has been a lot of interesting trading on Intrade’s Palin withdrawal market.
