[cchippa1]

Is this an example of "gotcha jounilism" ? Get ready katie for the accusations. Why is it that tis ticket blames the media for their answers? With these answers, tina fay has more skits for her sarah palin immitations!!

obbcbs...i''m not sure NORAD will be available to help...they''ll be cruising round Alaska waiting for Putin to enter the airspace.

correcting typo. *need to turn on the lights. winter is a comin in.
Palin''''s job is to score with the white fundamentalists and bring up the percenTage in favor of her and John McCain from their current 74% to 78%.
If she does that, she earned her VP slot.

She is not going to impress thinking viewers, not even conservatives.

She is just there to tease the fundamentalists that she is going to appoint some fundamentalist judges, which she would.

WHY IS SARAH ONLY TALKING TO KATIE COURIC on CBS??????....No Newsweek, no Time, no ABC, no NBC, no MSNBC, no O''Reilly, no Sports Illustrated, no Modern Maternity, no Washington Post, no Bible Times even, no New York Times, no Fish and Game, no Kansas City News, no Barron''s, no Wall Street Journal, no Chicago Sun, no Field and Stream, no Hunting News, not even each or any of the local papers of the towns and cities she has visited and given the same speech in....only Katie Couric....and mostly softball questions that draw goofball answers....WHY????

....Now we know why McCain wants to HIDE her from even the Wasilla News and the Anchorage newspapers, let alone someone new other then who she has always talked to before...

Palin is the new Republican SCUD Missile....You just never know where she will blow up with her silly comments on TV and Radio. Every time I hear her words, I''m hoping it''s actually Tina Fey so we can say it really is a comedy routine, instead of her world view.

CAN WE PLEASE ELECT OBAMA and BIDEN in ''08! Let''s get to work and make this happen.

Did you see the interview of McCain holding Palin''s hand with Katie Couric, with McCain acting like MR. GRUMPY as he interrupted questions to Palin just like he knew she was about to goof it up again....then he goofed it up on his own....what great irritable bowel syndrome answers John....YOUR CRASS JUDGMENT SHOWS YOU TO BE A MEAN TESTY NEGATIVE OL'' COOT....You have simply lost your marbles and should go home....It''s time to put McCain in the Manorhouse, not the Whitehouse!!!

[obbcbs]

Palin''s job is to impersonate Joe Six Pack. He cant remember any Supreme court decisions either. And he doesnt understand what separation of church and state is about, either.

I get the feeling when she is talking, that she is so freaked out, she just pours words out, and hopes that it will make some sense if she at least refers to the general topic.
I dont want her near a real decision impacting our national defense.

Of course, if the Russians do attack, our generals will call NORAD and the White House, not Palin.

My Lord! She has got to be kidding! It would be downright funny if the stakes weren''t so high. She reminds me of when I was called upon in class and didn''t know the answer:just blabber away and hope something good comes out.
I bet if asked she could not name one of those countries that were in turmoil or one of those alleged religious wars that were going on during the time of our founding fathers!

[cchippa1]

I keep wondering how she was elected gov. Separation of church and state is basic history. When she was first rolled out to the public, i wondered what she had to offer. Thanks Katie.

Ok, religiously, GOD HELP US. Sarah Palin, before, it was just sad. Now, you''re proving why you needed 5 years to get a college degree at 6 different schools.. You are truly dumber than a bag of rocks.

She had absolutely no concept of Separation of Church and State. Of course, Joe Biden was 100% on this.

Sarah, go back to Alaska, although you won''t find a warm reception.

Amazing. Absolutely Amazing. Even the Repugnicans can''t whine about her being abused by that mean Katie Couric. The stuff she''s asking is high school stuff.

In another question, she couldn''t even explain Roe v. Wade, perhaps the most discussed and dissected Supreme Court ruling in history.

God Sarah, you should be ashamed.

[egr287]

Could Palin not think of a single supreme court decision off the top of her head? That''s really genius

[vmcgriff]

wisdom = church vs.state ???
Can someone explain this to me because I am not sure I understand?

[Onar]

I think it would be hard to find a shallower person the Palin. Her answers are just to retarded and generalizing that it looks like she''s never been thinking about anything (except for important national issues such as moosehunting and shooting wolfes from helicopters of course. Who cares about the economy anyway...).

[willcaine]

There were no religious wars in Europe when the Constitution was written. The religious wars occurred during the 16th and 17th centuries. Palin''s ideas about history are as foggy as her other notions.
