I have said this in a couple of other places, but it is nothing less than brilliant that the job of publicly eviscerating Sarah Palin has been given to Katie Couric. For starters, it instantly obviates the slightest charge of sexism, as Palin herself readily admitted. Secondly, since much of America still thinks of sweet little Katie Couric as “America’s Morning Sweetheart”, the frothing-at-the-mouth right-wing bloviators have a hard time making the claim that Palin is being picked on by Commie Pinko New York Liberal Media Elites. Thirdly, and best of all, Couric hasn’t had to even ask a difficult or controversial question; she’s lobbing big, fat puffy softballs, so nobody can say that she is taking advantage of Palin’s complete and utter lack of experience.
I know everybody and his brother is linking to yesterday’s clip, but it really has to be seen to be believed:
Despite the McCain campaign’s strenuous objections, tonight we are apparently going to be treated to her being unable to name any Supreme Court case other than Roe V. Wade.
And we’ve yet to even get to such topics as dinosaurs co-existing with human beings.
But now there’s a PR effort to make us think that she’s just lulling everybody’s senses and is somehow a brilliant debater who is going to slice and dice Joe Biden. She can’t answer questions about what newspapers she reads or what her running mate has done as a Senator, and somehow her ability to blow smoke out her ass is going to save her on Thursday night?
I have a five-spot that says by Monday morning next week she will be on her way back to Wasilla for good. Any takers?
