Politics. Music. Life. And the pursuit of fractal integrity in 108,050 Glorious Words.
The one piece of news that’s getting lost amongst this bailout brouhaha and McCain’s decision to-I doubt that this is the correct word-suspend his campaign is Sarah Palin’s CBS interview. It’s a god-awful train wreck:
I do give her points though for wearing considerably less makeup than Couric and for possessing the ability to be so confusing that, while your brain is processing her words, you suddenly realize that their semblance is meaningless because you’ve forgotten the question.
Will,
I think you were a little harsh with Katie–her (and CBS’) liberal leanings are fairly well-known and acknowledged. But even with that slant she didn’t become overly aggressive or too-soft (so as not to appear biased). My favorite (and I think best) part of the interview that is when Katie doesn’t let her slide about what has McCain done to reform the markets and Palin said she would “try” to get some examples for her. Katie & Gibson were both selected for interviews because the McCain campaign knew they would not be too tough on her. Give Palin a little more time and her status as an “empty suit” will be painfully aware to the world.
Hi Collins,
I completely agree with you! I apologize if, in my post, I come across as condescending towards Couric. I think she did a great job at asking basic questions that Palin should have easily answered.
