Palin Tells Couric That She’s “The New Energy”
Katie Couric’s series of exclusive interviews with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin continues on tonight’s Evening News, but thanks to our friends at Couric & Co., we have a sneak peak. Asked whether it was a “risky thing” to mention how long she’s been listening to Joe Biden’s speeches given the fact that her running mate is 72 years old, Palin said:
“Oh no, it's nothing negative at all. He's got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we've been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he's got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I'm the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he's got the experience based on many many years in the Senate. And voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years.”Watch it:

See all 58 CommentsHow insulting. You should be asahmed. Are you angry and sour-faced with them repeating your questions when you don''t get an answer you want? or warm, pleasant and smiling showing respect? Tim Russert you are not! I''m done with CBS, you''ve completely lost my respect.
Palin is not afraid to be genuine and is beholden to no one, unlike Obama and Biden who are deeply entrenched in benefiting from their ''cronies'' and this financial mess.

As for McCains age, Obama could drop dead of a heart attack, and Joe Biden could be president. None of us are guarnteed a tomarrow. It seems we are loosing all of our rights and only the criminals and illegal immigrents and people to lazy to work and want the system to care for them, keep be irresponsible and the government will be stronger and we will just be pathetic puppets with out a mind of our own.
1. The only convictions and beliefs that she has clearly stated are : her prolife stance ( even in cases of rape and incest) and that homosexuality is a choice.( She believes you can "pray the gay away"). Palin supports McCain in OVERTURNING Roe v Wade. She has NO BUSINESS legislating her convictions or beliefs onto me. How even more horrific for any rape or incest victim to again be raped of her choice. Pathetic. As Major and Governor, she has vetoed legislation to recognize gay marriages. Although I am not gay, she is imposing her personal beliefs by blocking legislation that can benefit gay couples. Palin needs to stop walking her talk on me and the rest of America.
2. The divorce rate is 52% for (heterosexual) marriages. Maybe the homosexuals can teach the majority heterosexuals the values of monogamyif they weren''t so discriminated against. And, in 1996, she had an affair with her husband''s business partner. So much for the sanctity of her marriage.
3. Her 17 year old daughter conceived and is carring a child out of wedlock.
Yeah, such great values I want the younger generation to embrace. I can hear teens across America now: But mom, why can''t I have a baby? Bristol did it and her mom is the Vice President of the United States. Sarah''s a cool mom..can''t you be cool like her? It''s time to RAISE the standard, not stoop to it.
He has already been quoted with saying there are 57 States. Yeah, 57 Islam States.
He didn''t even know the soldier''s name on the bracelet he was wearing until he looked at it!
Don''t you think his experience should entail a little bit more than being a community organizer?
Hey, I was a community organizer once too!
Can''t Nobama make a decision ??
He has more than 120 or so "present" votes..can''t seem to put his finger on it yet!
Very decisive..don''t ya think???
I think it''s scary.
If by chance she becomes your President, the worlds leaders will be laughing, and your allies will be crying!
Bush has already screwed America''s allies over and now you could elect an old man, and this Palin???
Enough already!!!!!!
She can stand tall for her convictions and beliefs because she lives by them. She''s not telling us to live by them, but she is.
As we all know, with the percentages of marriages gone ary,
the divorce rates, the children from different marriages, the abortions that were had...how can any of these people say they have any real values and put someone down who shows by example ! Isn''t this what we are to teach our children?
Stop the jealousy....it is sad.
The unfair and negative tactics being used across the board by the media all day long is propaganda and transparent.
Katie, putting politics aside, you should be proud that a woman has reached this level but all you do is try to knock her down every chance you get. Katie, as a TV viewer, you look angry and speak with a condescending voice that you really aren''t pleasant to watch at all!
Will you be asking Sen. Joe Biden what his thoughts and position is on the "morning after pill"? and what is his position on homosexuality? Would be very interested in knowing what his deep and true feeling are on these issues that you raised. We heard Gov. Palin''s and looking forward to hearing Sen. Biden''s.
I am sincerely appauled at your biased interviews. Its apparent that Sarah Palin does not know everything about foregin policy, economics, etc. although you evidently know nothing about ethics in journalism. Purposely sabotaging your interviewee does not buy you any votes. I hope you feel good about yourself, making someone purposely look bad in front of the world in order to get decent ratings (finally). How about the decency in Journalism... how about what goes around comes around?
