Just Name One Newspaper! Any Newspaper!

Sorted under 2008 election, politics on October 7, 2008

How does a question like “What newspaper did you read before accepting the vice presidential nomination from John McCain?” turn into Palin talking about how American citizens think Alaska is a foreign country?

Apparently Palin has either read every newspaper ever created or none at all. Do Alaskan cities have local newspapers? If so, why can’t she name one? Just one? She could have just named a newspaper out there that she has at least heard of that she didn’t really read, but at least knew the name of.

What is expected of someone who runs as a Republican vice presidential candidate? I mean, apparently all you need to do is not drool all over yourself while speaking, know how to read a little bit, talk in circles, make up your own questions in your head and answer them while completely ignoring the question that was initially asked. Oh Sarah, you’re lowering the bar more and more every time you open your mouth.

A candidate for any type of office in the United States should be just that–An educated, intelligent and on point candidate; not hours of entertainment. But hey, what the hell am I talking about? Look who was “voted” into the presidency for the past 8 years.

  • She is such an embarrassment. I agree, just naming a local paper would have been fine. Even if she never did read it -- wait, she does know how to read, right? But to say "all of them" without specifying makes her look like a total moron.

    Oh, wait...

  • Far be it from me to defend Sarah Palin, but my impression of this clip was a bit different.

    I didn't take her response to mean that she didn't read at all. Rather, she's probably been scared silly by her campaign staff into expecting a hidden agenda lurking inside each question, so her answer just indicated how she was trying to figure out Katie's angle. She spent so long trying to figure out *why* Couric was asking her the question that she couldn't process an answer.

    I think there are a million other reasons to dislike this candidate and her policies, but in my mind this isn't one of them.
