It's that "gotcha" journalism again....

Earlier today, a meme was going around on my LJ friends list, where people posted their favorite Supreme Court case, because Sarah Palin was unable to name a single one in an interview.

Guys? She can't even name a newspaper. Wasn't Sarah Palin a journalism major?

The only explanation I can come up with for this is that she couldn't remember which ones had liberal biases, or somehow thought it was a trick question. Surely, she must be able to name newspapers, right? RIGHT?



I know that some people think Katie Couric is being a total bitch in these interviews, but I really don't understand how you couldn't be. When she gives a heinous answer, how can you NOT ask the immediate follow-up to make her look like an idiot?

I feel like, if nothing else, all English majors in America should vote against Sarah Palin.

I'm not going to solely blame all of man's activities on changes in climate.

I keep wondering if I'm watching a horrible sci-fi movie, but Sarah Palin is real.

You can watch her entire interview about social issues here (the second video). Probably my "favorite" part is where says that homosexuality is a choice.

Get ready for Thursday's debate. It will be nothing short of magical, I'm sure.

The part about homosexuality being a choice was also MY favorite part! I'm really glad she reiterated it about four times, too, just to make sure we got it. And she promises not to "judge" me. Awww.

And seriously, hi, ONE SINGLE NEWSPAPER? I mean, she could have sucked up and said "The CBS News", it didn't matter! The questions feel like they're getting simpler and simpler, it's like Celebrity Jeopardy questions from Saturday Night Live, now.

She won't judge you, Gretchen! She'll just push for the Constitution to be changed so that "people like you" don't destroy morality by like, falling in love and stuff. SHE IS SO COMPASSIONATE.

So true!! I will feel SO MUCH BETTER when she's in the White House and is shining her blinding Beacon of Light across this dark nation!

Excuse me, I'm going to go curl up in my closet and CRY.
