How chivalrous.
McCain looks so uncomfortable when Palin is speaking. It's pretty hilarious.
did Palin just call Pakistan terrorists?
I love when people assign the feminine gender to USA.
Ask her about the dinosaurs! Ask her about the dinosaurs!
@carollani - she called america "she" because she's a FEMINIST! duh!
mccain is thinking "what the fuck was i thinking?"
Damn you. Now that you've posted this, I'm going to have to actually watch the others.
Undecided voters should be told to consider what happens when McCain fucking keels over on January 22nd.
I think the undecided voter is going to think McCain is creepy as hell and that Palin can't be trusted to speak in public.
Points to Hooker Heels for finally getting a few talking points right, but that show has already closed.
How Campy!!! The dirty old man bought his secretary with him!!!
I know I'm supposed to be creeped out by the Palin interview, but given today's economic climate, I'm more creeped out by the Discover card ad. "We're a nation of consumers. And there's nothing wrong with that."
Wow... UNcomfortable. So now she needs a protector? I think McCain spoke more than she did. Condescending bastard. If she is truly qualified, ready, and able (I could care less about the "willing" party), she needs to be able to meet the press alone. This only reinforces the image of a daughter accompanying her daddy to talk to the college admissions office-- there's no chance she'd get admitted to the electoral college on her own.
@12--Yup, a nation of consumers. That's one creepy, poorly timed ad.
And Couric sitting there while McCain airquotes her expertise and calls her a gotcha journalist? Damn. The entire original interview, Couric looked like she was trying her best not to threaten Palin. I kept thinking, "Wow, someone told her to play nice". Clearly, she wasn't nice enough and now she's being schooled.
You're not going to have McCain there to protect you during the debate. What's going to happen then?
She's a fucking gold mine.
Today on the bus, though, I overheard two people talking about these Palin videos.
Friend 1: "Man, I've been watching those Katie Kouric videos of Palin. Sure she's a retard. But why aren't they going after Michelle Obama like that?"
Friend 2: "Palin isn't McCain's wife. Palin is his VP choice..."
Friend 1: "Oh, I guess that makes sense."
Oof.
@13: You nailed it. She's bringing her daddy to the job interview.
Bloody hell, that was horrible. At least I learned something - I didn't know that "gotcha journalism" meant actually assuming candidates meant what they said.
Jesus christ. These two are like a comedy show. And how many fucking times is McCain going to talk about Reagan?
So who is going to play McCain for the Saturday night Live spoof?
Oh god if only Steve Martin was still relevent and funny.
Is this the same candidate who has been running on a campaign about Obama's lack of experience, now citing Regan and Clinton as examples of successful presidents who had little experience?
And how is answering a question posed by a voter an example of "gotcha journalism"? In fact, what is "gotcha journalism" anyway? Any coverage of Palin is "gotcha" journalism, because she always gets got!
@19: Everybody's name-checking Reagan these days, including him on their list of Great Presidents. Every time I hear it, I think "Jesus, I hope you like Reagan. You're still paying for him."
The Reagan era is where our country really started to go completely off the rails.
She's a liar
Was this one of the other embarrassing clips that CBS said it had? Or is there still more?
The comments on the cbs link are depressing. I am retreating back to my Slog bubble now.
Gotcha journalism: asking questions that I don't know the answer to.
Hoh-lee smokes.
Palin has gotten so little exposure it is impossible to not think that she is Tina Fey the whole time she is talking.
I'm feeling a LOT better about the election. But not better enough to stop me from volunteering in Nevada.
Do you think he puts her crayon drawings on his fridge?
It's Regis and Ripa.
The public love it.
McCain landslide in '08!
"Landslide" right off the cliff that is.
But you have to understand why she answered. Someone was hollerin' out across the area. No one could hold his tongue after the gauntlet was thrown down like that.
Humans are stupid.
This economy is only going to get worse. Stop clubbing. Buy Campbell's soup. Buy Kraft dinner. Drink at home. Ask Anthony Hecht.
Is it just me or was Grampy McCane really trying to come across as everyone's favorite sitcom grandpa? It was like he was trying to make up for his sneering angry debate performance.
What a loser.
He looked like he was having to make a huge effort to restrain himself from slapping her and telling her to shut up when she was talking about Pakistan.
I'm pretty sure "gotcha journalism" is what used to be called "journalism."
I liked the 'not ready for prime time' line. Way to slip the knife in, Katie.
fuckin surreal
McCain insulted Philly: it was a CHEESESTEAK joint, not a pizza place!
Get on with yo bad self big Daddy McKane. Little red palinhood not only can't answer the questions, she plain doesn't understan' em. http://deepconfusion.blogspot.com/2008/09/lost-in-wilderness.html
Omigod -- McCain absolutely adores her!
I think one of my favorite things is Katie Couric's head-tilt. It is like she does it to keep from losing it and going, "what the heck is going on here??? Do you people listen to yourselves? This is bullshit. Total bullshit."
Also note that Palin's smile lessened a bit when Katie Couric pointed out certain facts to her. It was like a contest of Miss America smiles between the two of them. Also known as "Bitch, Please" smiles.
Did anyone else that McCain is still looking at Palin's breasts? You think after the previous YouTube video someone would have taken him aside...
Come on people. Poor little Sara deserves to be protected by Grandpa McCain. Katie Couric is a known sexist after all.
