Video: OMG Sarah Palin Interviewed by Katie Couric Again
Crikey! She did it again. You gotta love the answer regarding the stupid comment she made about Sen. Joe Biden’s age … oh, and don’t miss the part where she refuses – or can’t – answer what newspapers or magazines she regularly reads. I thought Palin was supposed to be in the Witness Protection Program until the debate?

Devastating … Hilarious … This is why we have satire.
Palin Bombs on Interview with Couric – Video and Story
Trying to ignore the gimmick, I’ve tuned out from Palin. I couldn’t help but notice quite a few headlines though, over the last two days, like this one:
Palin Talks to Couric – And If She’s Lucky, Few are Listening – LA Times
This excerpt says it all. You’ll get my drift after you watch the video of the interview, below.
Her third nationally televised interview, with CBS anchor Katie Couric, found Palin rambling, marginally responsive and even more adrift than during her network debut with ABC’s Charles Gibson.

Part II
Text: Couric Interview With McCain from ‘Face the Nation’
The following was taken from the transcript of CBS News’ Face the Nation from August 24, 2008:
On Joe Biden as Obama VP Pick:
KATIE COURIC reporting:
Senator, first of all, what is your reaction to the selection of Joe Biden as Barack Obama’s
running mate?Senator JOHN McCAIN: Well, I think he’s a good selection. Joe and I have been friends for
many, many years and we know each other very well, and so I think he’s probably made a very
wise selection. I know that Joe will campaign well for Senator Obama, and so I think he’s going
to be very formidable. Obviously, Joe and I have been on different philosophical sides, but we
have been–I consider him a good friend and a–and a good man.
On the Question of Not Knowing How Many Houses He Owns:
COURIC: This week you were roundly criticized for not being able to…
Sen. McCAIN: Mm-hmm.
COURIC: …remember the number of homes…
Sen. McCAIN: Mm-hmm.
COURIC: …you own.
Sen. McCAIN: Mm-hmm.
COURIC: How is that possible? How could you not be able to recall that?
Sen. McCAIN: Well, first of all, let me say that I am grateful for the fact that I have a wonderful life. I spent some years without a kitchen table, without a chair, and I know what it’s like to be blessed by the opportunities of this great nation. Cindy’s father barely finished high school, went off and distinguished himself in World War II in a B-17, and he came back with practically nothing and realized the American dream. And I am proud and grateful for that. And I think he is a role model to many young Americans who serve in the military and come back and succeed. So the fact is that we have homes and I’m grateful for it. We spend our time primarily in Washington, DC, where I have a condominium in Crystal City; here in this beautiful Sedona that I’m blessed every moment I can spend here; our condominium in Phoenix, Arizona; and a place over in San Diego. The others are also for investment purposes, so all I can say is I am blessed to have the opportunity to continue to be part of a country where you can succeed and do well.
