As far as Hugh Hewitt’s “interview” questions, as Andrew Sullivan points out, Hewitt had his tongue so far up Palin’s ass, he could taste the undigested moose.

Christ, I wish you’d just have stuck with the picture of Hugh in his wet t-shirt.

Yes, yes. We finally have the reason that she is so clear and articulate — I’ve been wondering how she got so good.

Irony is dead. Which makes me sad. I used to enjoy irony.

No wonder she had to go to six different colleges to finally graduate.

Hey, we’re talking about a REAL journalist here. After all, she reads every single newspaper that exists in the universe.

I guess the many colleges(Coot could have home-schooled her at more) Screech attended didn’t teach her that “continue on” means …go on.on….Here’s a pop quiz question for her…Is Debt Slavery “Chains We Can Believe IN!”? She seems to have disappeared so does that make it a POW/MIA slate? Pai Lin, Boosh with Boobs …now certified Witch-Free!

To be fair, Couric was asking pretty tough questions. Questions like “Why should you of all people be Vice-President?” which absolutely nobody is going to know the answer to.

jade,

Exactly!! The question that led to the verbatim satire of Tina Fey was, “What is your position on the economic bailout proposal?” Now there’s a completely unexpected/unfair question!

History is a nightmare from which I amm trying to awake. Huge and Caribou Spice aren’t helping me one fucking bit. Joyce must be fucking spinning.

All I could think of was the high school joke of the student to the teacher: “Well, if this is what you call a quizzie, I’d sure like to see your testes.”

Jeebus, how did we end up here? The candidate who is one unhappy dermatologist visit from being leader of the (so-called) Free World is someone who bounced from college to college, is not exactly “academically distinguished”, and has all the intellectual curiousity of a box of rocks. And as an ex-geologist, I think I know my boxes of rocks pretty well.

I’m not exactly guilt-free on the college bouncing, though I know my GRE scores would kick her ass and I am EXTREMELY interested in the world and politics, but I know that I am not qualified for the job she is interviewing for. Her unquestioning belief that God himself has chosen her for this job scares the crap out of me. Especially since in her part of the God-O-verse, women as required to be subordinate to men; hypocracy or just an evil front for the real string pullers?

“It makes somebody be even clearer and more articulate in their positions.” I wonder just who that somebody might be, as it certainly isn’t Sarah.

It surprises her that ’so much has changed’ since she received her education in journalistic ethics? Excuse me, I’m not a particularly big fan of Katie Couric, but Couric graduated in 1979 … when Ms. Palin was just ‘making a choice’ about her sexual orientation.

The fact remains that Palin was asked a straightforward and simple question about her foreign policy experience, and she couldn’t manage a coherent sentence, let alone an answer. And the bit about newspapers/magazines? Give me a break.

(BTW, 22 years in broadcast journalism as an editor, here. Without hopping around from school to school.)
