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:

Is the woman running for CoverGirl spokeswoman or Vice President of United States? New energy... new face? WHO CARES? That''s not enough to run the country. We need INTELLIGENCE, WISDOM, HONESTY, INTEGRITY... every trait Palin doesn''t seem to possess. I''m not even going to bother with the "new ideas" she claims she has... that''s just such a ridiculous joke.
Palin again puts her foot in her mouth. She''s running for VP, not president. That means Obama is the new energy, new ideas for the next four years.

Joe Biden has not only been one of the hardest working Senators (since Sarah Palin flunked out of 2nd grade), he%u2019s been the lone voice of dissent serving on the Armed Forces Committee against the odious, and abhorred mis-management of the Iraq War that George W. Bush and Richard Cheney started on false pretense and didn%u2019t have a credible plan to keep our troops from danger resulting in many (all) unnecessary deaths and injuries.
We don''t need a cheerleader, we need a leader. We don''t need a bulldog for McCain - he''s doing FINE, financially and otherwise. We need someone with experience, intelligence, good judgement and who can demonstrate quick thinking. Palin is not what we need.
I so wish McCain had THOUGHT a lot more about what the party NEEDED rather than what what look good on the campaign trail.
Too much to hope for, I suppose.
What was McCain thinking??????
Unfortunately, her choice just goes to reinforce the concerns that many in the GOP had about a McCain candidacy.
That was a good one.
A little humor is good
i should probably plan to have alcohol poisoning at the end or simply drop dead

Uh God I can''t even stand her voice for more than 5 seconds before I start to cringe. It''s so squeaky and high pitched....
Riddle me this, who was in control of the Legislative Branch ten years ago?
The debate, however, will have a different audience. There will be no wild cheering, or loud laughter at her prepared jokes. This audience will be much better educated and certainly more sophisticated. This audience will be judging Palin on more than prepared answers. The McCain campaign need to include this factor into their debate camp.

Hmmmm..you probably forgot that the REPUBLICANS had control of the house and the senate the first six year of Bush''s administration. They lost that control for a reason. And ten years ago, the Republicans had control of the house and the senate, so I guess you can''t blame poor Bill for "all of it." I you want to base your entire political selections on abortion, that is your right. The rest of us are concerned about our country and will vote accordingly.
Is she as dumb as she appears? It is like watching some terrible disaster-I can''t look away even though it is painful to watch. Go Obama-you definitely have my vote!
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?
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.
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.
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!!!!!!
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.
