By this time, I was wide awake, and I read emptywheel‘s blog about the Courik/Palin interviews, so I went to the CBS website, and there it was [now on Youtube]. It was absolutely remarkable! Even over and above my bias, Palin looked like a sixth grader trying to be a grownup [and she didn’t bring it off.] It wasn’t as funny as Letterman because there was the nagging realization that this woman has been put in a position of potentially running our country. The worst part was Palin’s assertion that McCain was in favor of "regulation" [that’s simply not true], and Courik pressed the point, asking for examples. Palin’s cutsie response was beyond absurd. Katie Courik isn’t my favorite, but she did herself proud in this interview – asking the right questions without falling out of her chair at the answers.
Commenter joyhollywood writes, " I can’t imagine watching McCain or Palin for 4 years after 8 years with W." which is kind of what I’ve been thinking. The 50%-ish of Americans that support him either see something I really can’t see, or they are voting against Obama as a person or a black man or a Democrat. It’s hard to imagine that they are voting for the McCain & Palin Roadshow. It’s equally hard for me to believe McCain is coming up with this stuff all by himself. I attribute it to Schmidt or Davis or Rove, though last night Olberman implied that nothing happens in that campaign without McCain’s approval. This has been a campaign to end all campaigns. America – you got to love her style…
