*face palm* Couric to Palin "Do you know we are recording this, its a real interview"

[e-brake]

New York - Several times during her exclusive interview with Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric asked Palin whether or not she was aware that the interviews were being taped, and that "other people would see them." Palin reportedly told Couric that she was indeed aware, but then asked Couric what she meant by "broadcast."
"I was concerned, after one of the times where she seemed to be answering a question I hadn't asked," Couric said. "It didn't seem possible that she would intentionally answer the question that way, knowing people would see it. So I stopped the interview, and I said, 'Governor, are you aware that this is the actual interview? What we're doing right now? That this isn't a rehearsal?' She said she was aware. And I said, 'Okay. Just so you know it's being recorded and parts of it will be broadcast.' And then she said, 'You can't blink, Katie, because we share a narrow maritime border with Russia and it has to be all about job creation.' I didn't understand it, but we just went on with the interview. I was pressed for time."
Ms. Couric said she became equally concerned during a session following a speech Governor Palin made, which preceded the second phase of the interview. Portions of that segment of Couric's interview aired tonight on CBS and have spread quickly on the internet.
"In one part of the interview, I asked her what newspapers and magazines she read before being asked to be John McCain's running mate," Couric said. "And she couldn't name any. So again, I turned to the crew and I said, 'Hold it, guys,' and I went to the Governor privately and said, 'Governor Palin, did you not understand the question? I'm asking you to name some newspapers or magazines you read. You can't come up with any? I'm just trying to make sure you're clear and to give you a fair shake here.' And she said, 'Okay. Nightline? Is that a magazine?' I said, 'No, that's a television show.' She said, 'What about Lou Dobbs? Isn't that a newspaper?' And I said, 'No, that's a man. Lou Dobbs is a man.' And there wasn't much more I could do.

I'm no fan of Bush, but he's surprisingly well read, especially on world affairs. Apparently he even has folks like Robert Kaplan drop by to chat from time to time.

[DjKrispy]

Why couldn't she just say "Time" or "Newsweek"
FFS, lie like every other politician.

I've been listening to the interview. It doesn't sound as bad when taken in context. Although so far I haven't really heard any real answers.

It's all "We have to be careful"... "predators lenders shouldn't gain" blah blah blah...

typical politician stuff...

Because she knows the Obamedia would trash her no matter what news source she reads. If she said The Weekly Standard, National Review, Drudge, or any other RightWing media they would blaster her. If she said any other Liberal media source such as Washington Post or The New York Times she would be blasted again. When the media is out to trash the shit out of you no matter what you do sometimes the best thing to do is not answer.
