3. dear sarah, let's talk about 'our' children.....aren't they wonderful?

[renie408]

8. Again, I say, "Maybe not" Couric moved to night time TV

because she wanted to be a REAL journalist. This has really NOT gone that well for her. She might see this as her chance to be tougher than Gibson. At least we can hope, right??

[DangerDave921]

28. my thoughts exactly

She will try to prove how tough she is.

[TahitiNut]

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. For those who consider Charles Gibson too sobering.

[firedupdem]

10. Gibson surprised me in that he asked her some tough questions..

I'm not so sure about Katie and the fact that McCain will be there ensures that he will do most of the talking and he'll fix her fuck ups right there on air.

[berni_mccoy]

40. She didn't get a single tough question from Gibson. It only looked tough because she's an idiot.

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. Is it softball season again already?

[BeyondGeography]

12. "As a fellow victim of sexism, how do you feel?"

[vanderBeth]

Good planning on Palin's part.:rofl:

[wilt the stilt]

14. topic of discussion- Katie Couric

Couric: Sarah, I used to be a cheerleader but it was only for the boy's teams. I wish I could have cheered for the girls' basketball teams. Did you have cheerleaders when you played?

In Alaska, Sarah Palin hired friends, hit critics hard
12:00 AM CDT on Sunday, September 14, 2008

WASILLA, Alaska – Gov. Sarah Palin lives by the maxim that all politics is local, not to mention personal.

According to public records and interviews with 60 Republican and Democratic legislators and local officials, Sarah Palin has blurred the line between government and personal grievance. 'She is bright and has unfailing political instincts,' said Steve Haycox, a University of Alaska professor. 'But her governing style raises a lot of hard questions.'
So when there was a vacancy at the state Agriculture Department, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification for running the roughly $2 million agency.



Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five high school classmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages.

Ms. Palin walks the national stage as a small-town foe of "good old boys" politics and a champion for ethics reform. And as the Republican vice presidential nominee, she points to her management experience while mocking her Democratic rivals, Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden, as speechmakers who never have run anything.

An examination of her swift rise and record as mayor of Wasilla and then governor finds that her visceral style and penchant for attacking critics – she sometimes calls local opponents "haters" – often contrasts with her public image.

Throughout her career, she has pursued vendettas, fired officials who crossed her and sometimes blurred the line between government and personal grievance, according to a review of public records and interviews with 60 Republican and Democratic legislators and local officials.

Interviews show that Ms. Palin runs an administration that puts a premium on loyalty and secrecy. The governor and her top officials sometimes use personal e-mail accounts for state business; dozens of e-mail messages obtained by The New York Times show that her staff members studied whether that could allow them to circumvent subpoenas seeking public records.


Good job Brownie Version 2.0

23. So... when Couric asks her a tough question, they won't be able to scream "SEXIST!" this time....

[ContinentalOp]

24. Haha, wishful thinking. -nt-

[Supersedeas]

[liberalla]

29. yech. not holding my breath...

[Owl]

30. The TV will be unplugged in her honor.

[Jennicut]

32. Hahahahhaahh! Katie Couric??? She is incapable of doing a hard hitting interview

It will be pure fluff.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

33. The very same Katie Courice who helpfully edited Mc's last interview and swapped answers?

That Katie Couric? The one who should have resigned in disgrace the moment it was discovered. That Katie Couric?

[Earth Bound Misfit]

35. Dat be Her...

[MadBadger]

37. I think Katie will surprise many of you.

[MiniMe]

38. I'm really surprised they are letting her do this

After her performance with Charlie Gibson. I can understand why she would do Hannity, but Couric could go either way. I'm waiting for her to go on The View. I'm not holding my breath.

[seabeyond]

39. maybe she will be pissed they used her inappropriately to yell sexism against palin

and maybe not

we will see
