Katie Couric interviewed Sarah Palin for the prestigious, Emmy winning news magazine “Katie Couric Reports.”
Katie Couric went straight upside Sarah Palin’s head.
It was embarrassing.
Sarah Palin made herself seem so bumblingly incompetent that I am, to some degree, amazed that she managed to find the hockey rink she dropped her kids off at.
Throughout the entire interview she seemed to be in way over her head, skirting calls by Couric to point out specific examples of a variety of different topics. When Couric asked her to qualify what she meant when she said that living in Alaska provided her with foriegn policy experience, she said this:
Watch the whole interview either on Youtube or here. And remember while you watch that this is a woman who only grants the press access to her when she so chooses, so she theoretically should have been incredibly well prepared. My obvious bias aside, watch the interview and ask yourself honestly if this woman is the best candidate for one of the most important offices IN THE WORLD.

I think that’s interesting and potentially valid, but I don’t know how anyone could plan an interview of this incredibly bad caliber. Republican or Democrat, you have to watch this and realize that you’re watching someone who just plain doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
I’ve watched other politicians with whom I’ve disagreed before, and I’ve thought “hey, I disagree with what they’re saying”. But with her it’s not even about that, I just think “hey, I could do a better job than this”.
This isn’t about parties. It’s about qualifications.

Go Palin. You are still awesome! She is qualified. She is a true American. VP’s have a big enough cabinet, that Palin will never have to be worried. -A

Steve, I immediately thought of the same thing. Is this what America is breeding?

The whole thing is a strategy by Republican handlers to lower expectations of Sarah Palin in the Vice presidential debates this thursday, they used a similar strategy with George Bush in 2000. At this point, Sara Palin’s debate performance will meet expectations if she doesn’t cuss or trip on her way to and from the podium.
