Couric-Palin interview: Part 3

Ummm, are you serious? Are you serious? Are you serious? Really??? I mean, c'mon, really??? 

You MUST watch the next part of the interview between CBS' Katie Couric and Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin. I mean, seriously? Just watch. Now. Please.

Really?

I love the pairing of Joe Biden's interview with Sarah Palin's. It diametrically shows what an answer is and what a long awkward silence is. Very informing. Loves it.

Really, people? Really???

Couric interviews Palin: The latest

Katie Couric of CBS interviewed Alaskan governor and Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin last night. I haven't had a chance to watch the interview yet, being that I'm currently in class, but I figured I might as well provide the vid for ya'll to watch. Don't worry, I'll provide my highly solicited input* later.

*Note sarcasm.

Update: So while watching the interview, I found it hard to not just break out in laughter every once in a while. I feel that Gov. Palin would elicit so much more respect if she would just answer a question, specifically, the FIRST time she is asked. She rambles on, sort of defensively and nonsensically, and is prone to try and preface her answers with long, rambling anecdotes and vague philosophies, only to subsequently provide no actual answer to the question. I mean, people like to think of this woman as some kind of spitfire, but her only specialty seems to be providing digs to the other party that McCain has never had the hutzpah to. She can't hold her own, in my own opinion, and I fully expect people to contest that opinion, but I would like to see her logically answer a question, the first time, and provide something substantive, rather than this bullshit "I have a gay best friend" nonsense. Thursday's debate shall be interesting to say the least.

Katie Couric interviews Palin

In her third interview - that's right, they can still be counted on one hand - Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin sits down with Katie Couric of CBS to discuss the current financial crises and Senator John McCain's plans to assuage them.

We get to hear about McCain's maverick image, Palin's inability to articulate any real specifics even when asked more than once to elaborate and get a great sign-off that should basically have a voiceover of "Errrrrr..."

Palin Power!

Pandering to their constituencies like good boys

I-have-7-houses McCain and I've-written-two-memoirs Obama are all about the moolah as of late.

This comes as no surprise after this morning's news.

Democratic nominee Barack Obama insists that the campaign should not be reduced to a "resumé contest" between tickets, but rather a choice over which party would offer a new direction for the nation's economy.

"The American people, who are awfully smart, they're going to be able to make their assessment," Mr. Obama added. "They're going to say, you know what? If we choose John McCain, for all of his good qualities, we're going to get the same kind of government, and if we choose Barack Obama, we're going to get a different one."

As for McCain, he said on CBS' "Face the Nation": "Americans are hurting in a way that they have not hurt for a long time." 

He went on in what I can only describe as some weird reference to the hinterland of his running mate's home state, Alaska. "You know, we've got a very tough sledding to go through."

O.K., that was probably a stretch. But still.

McCain pledges to appoint Democrats to Cabinet

Republican John McCain contends there's nothing partisan about tackling the nation's toughest problems.

"I don't know how many, but I can tell you, with all due respect to previous administrations, it is not going to be a single...'Well we have a Democrat now.' It's going to be the best people in America," said the GOP presidential nominee in an interview with CBS' "Face the Nation".

"So many of these problems we face -- for example, energy independence, what's partisan about that?" he said. "And I'll tell you, some of them, I'll ask to work for a dollar a year."

Many props to you, Johnny.
