CBS to interview Palin next

[ginnyinWI]

Katie Couric is redeeming herself in my eyes after her awful treatment of John Kerry in interviews in 2004. Let's see how she treats Palin. She'll do the taping in a week and show it on the 29th.

They can't scream sexism with a woman interviewing her.

1. "They can't scream sexism with a woman interviewing her."

Yes they can, they made comments about Tina Fey's portrayal of Palin on SNL being sexist! And if Couric goes out of bounds in the Palin-McCain campaign definition of sexism, that's what they'll label it.

7. That's what I was thinking. If they called Tina Fey sexist

they'll call anyone sexist. I heard one surrogate this morning say that Palin was the victim of the most vitriolic attacks. I'm thinking "what about Michelle? What about Kerry?"

2. The way I see it

Couric's always trying to prove she's as tough as the guys. I think she'll be throwing some hardballs on this one.

3. $5 says it won't be hardhitting ...

she doesn't have a good track record getting to the Repukes ...

4. I'm still leary of her but CBS has been good lately.

They've got regular "reality check" features and compare both candidates' positions side by side--stuff that is user friendly to the average viewer. They have strongly debunked GOP lies when reporting on what was said. So we'll see.

5. "is redeeming herself" -- or may...my guess is that the softball will have extra padding

6. "Where did you get that coat? Baby seals rock!"
