Palin Couric Interview

September 26, 2008

Yes folks the great Palin Couric Interview has concluded and left most of us with a feeling of “What The Fuck”, much the same way the the folks who support USC had after the USC loss to Oregon State. I am sure Sarah Palin will tell you in no uncertain terms the USC people were either non-christian heathens or simply they didn’t pray hard enough for victory and an oil pipeline through through their campus all the way to the great state of Alaska.

From the LA Times

In a 40-minute session with Couric that aired Wednesday and Thursday nights, the Alaska governor defended her puzzling claim that geographic proximity makes her some sort of expert on Russia; went nearly blank when queried about McCain’s achievements as a big-business regulator; agreed America “may find itself” on the road to another Great Depression; and, promoting a troop surge in Afghanistan, casually suggested that it “will lead us to victory there, as it has proven to have done in Iraq.”

The last statement couldn’t help but conjure an image from 2003 — President Bush beaming in that green flight suit before the infamous “Mission Accomplished” banner.

Even in the world of softball journalism that Couric pitches Palin failed to get to first base with the American people. Her grandstanding for the crowd and general incompetence had out before she ever got started. Now that she wants to play with the big boys it is time she get off her ass and play our game the way American wants it. If she gets beamed in the head with a fast ball from a real journalist throwing hardball pitches, it was because she had her mouth running rather than having her eye on the ball.

In the end I am not sure who I am more disappointed with. Sarah Palin and Katie Couric met face to face as challengers for what should have been a brutal match pitting them against each other. After watching it, I felt more like Sarah Palin and Katie Couric were playing simply playing a school spirit lifter game of powder puff football. What happened to the Katie Couric who looked David Duke in the eyes and didn’t back down?
