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 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.

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

The only reasonable explanation I can come up with from a political tactic standpoint is that they told her to play up the "reporters are out to get me" angle and so instead of answering questions she turns them into the "Just cause I'm from Alaska doesn't mean I can't read good" type responses. It seems to be working too, as her supporters instead of realizing she's an idiot, complain that the reporters are being "too gosh darn mean".
It's painful to watch her answer a question though. She starts out kind of strong, not really saying anything, but at least confident in her answer, but then she rambles on and on and then looks like she loses her train of thought and doesn't know how to end so that by the end I have no idea what she's saying.
