KING: Katie Couric, by the way, said last night that she thinks you should keep your head down, work really hard, and learn about governing before contemplating a presidential run. What are your thoughts about her saying you should learn about governing?

PALIN: Well, thank you, Katie Couric, for your advice. And I won't reciprocate in giving her any advice, that's for sure, because I have respect for her and the profession that she is in. I would have greater respect though for the entire profession called mainstream media if we could have great assurance that there is fairness, that there is objectivity throughout the reporting world.

And you know, Larry, there, too, if there is anything that I can do in terms of assisting there and allowing the credence, the credibility that that great vocation, that cornerstone of our democracy called the press, if I can help build up that credibility in the press and allow the electorate to know that they can believe everything that is reported through the airwaves and through print, I want to be able to help.

1. Huh?

Miss Teen South Carolina is let loose again!

:rofl:

[BOSSHOG]

2. Well trained conservative, whining about the evil media

No sarah, don't take responsibility for being the fuck up that you are. Always, always blame someone else.

[LynnTheDem]

3. "credibility" = "And I said 'no thanks' to that bridge to nowhere!"

To the Republic Party, "credibility" means how many people you can fool trick dupe con into believing utter bullshit.

[dkf]

4. She thinks she has so much credibility that she can build up

some for the Press? Hahahaa. Delusional.

[Sal Minella]

7. It's now dawned that she may not get elected to anything outside Alaska, so she's hoping for camera

time as a regular "commentator" or something on Faux. That's my guess. Anything to keep from staying home with Tawd and that herd.

[dkf]

8. Ahhh so she wants to give Fox some credibility then...

Thats so twisted its kind of funny.

[Sal Minella]

17. I assume she thinks Fox is the only credible news agency, and she could progress the cause of fair

and balanced journalism by joining their team. I doubt she'd even consider an offer from the liberal-biased-left-commie-pinko media. (i.e. everything non-Fox).

[Marr]

5. And also, too, you know Larry. And also that.

It's like there was a sale on adverbs.

[Lucy Goosey]

6. So let me get this straight...

The media is being fair and objective if they report her word as absolute truth, and either ignore or tear down her critics?

She has a fucking degree in fucking journalism! How can she possibly believe this?! I think the best explanation for her is that she is shockingly stupid and exceptionally egotistical. (Holy crap, she is Dubya!)

[polly7]

9. Her replies come across even worse in print.

How can she blame MSM, when the proof of her lack of knowledge on ........ anything, is transcribed and printed out in black and white for translation? Does the woman not read?

[shadowknows69]

10. I'll retake my first Newswriting final with both of them right now

With my eyes closed. Did you ace yours Sarah? I'll betcha ya didn't.

[AndrewP]

11. How was Couric unfair?

When all she had basically asked is "what do you read?"

Is that really that difficult?

Palin is such a twit.

[Vickers]

12. Translation: "I hate your club: may I join?"

:eyes:

[shadowknows69]

13. Astounding use of logic isn't it? Reverse psychology maybe?

Gee that Sarah Palin really doesn't trust the media or TV, we should give her a job. And doubtless that's what will happen. "The Terminator" is the Governor of a state for crissakes. This has been bizarro world for quite some time now.

[PA Democrat]

14. Someone who is so delusional that she actually thinks she was qualified to be VP

will of course be just as delusional in her assessment of how she was treated by the media.

[hamsterjill]

15. As the old saying goes, Sarah -

It is better to remain silent and THOUGHT a fool,

than to SPEAK UP and remove all doubt.


She's such a dufus-brain!!!

[Jim Sagle]

16. You mispelled urinalism.
