Katie Couric, cutthroat journalist

[Zkribbler]

Time to dump Sarah and bring in Tina Fey.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Just remember: Alaska isn't a foreign country.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with her answer. Quit looking for what isn't there. This is about 0.00005% as embarrassing as Biden's gaffes, losers. She doesn't say anything dumb here.

[Zkribbler]

Q: What magazines and newspapers to your read to keep abreast of the news?

A: All of them.

She reads all magazines but can't name but one?

[Wiglaf]

You really think she doesn't know the name of a single newspaper or newsmagazine?

Idiots. She's a middle aged governor of a ****ing state.

Why couldn't she name one then? Just one? Couric asked specifically. She couldn't name one.

Either she freezes up under pressure or she's ****ing epicly stupid.

Neither is good.

[Wiglaf]

Because there's no point? She, like a lot of Americans, probably floats from reading one to another, and doesn't stick to one.

For instance, if she had said the new york times, couric would have come in and asked for its most prominent writers or something, and she might not know. Her answer deflects potential questions like that.

I think she just did an excellent job of demonstrating she couldn't name one.

[Wiglaf]

She wasn't asked to name a newspaper IN GENERAL. She was asked to name one she regularly reads. She might not regularly read any, but shift between many, which is normal.

You're doing a poor spin job. Rove would be disappointed.

Stick to singing quasi-gay songs on American Idol.

How many newspapers are there in Alaska, Wiglaf?

[Wiglaf]

A lot. Many she's given interviews to since, you know, she's a career politician.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Couric: So, Governor Fabulous, what newspapers and magazines did you read to get your worldview?

Gov. Fabulous: Well, I like to get a variety of news. I read the Times and Newsweek, but I also check out the Drudge Report to get the other side.

That wasn't hard. But I would have been embarrased too if all I could answer was "Moosehunter's Weekly".

So she couldn't name one, then?

I thought she was a hockey mom/PTA mom? Now she's a career politician?

Quit flip flopping!
