Sarah Palin's Katie Couric Blunders: Explained! (By Sarah Palin)

Katie Couric Mocks Sarah Palin For Being Illiterate
Here’s “gotcha journalist” Katie Couric getting quizzed by TMZ about her reading habits. She says the same exact thing that Sarah Palin said (”all of them, any of them”), except she says it to be funny. HOW DISRESPECTFUL. Katie also says she reads The Economist for the articles, and for the monthly compendium of slightly ribald jokes about oversexed blondes which she likes to tell at cocktail parties while John McCain is off raping gorillas.

Yes, But Who Got the First Post-Palin Katie Couric Interview?
It's a sad day when TMZ's cameras are the ones to bring us Katie Couric's reaction to Sarah Palin trashing her interviewing skills, but alas, it was the paparazzi who caught up with the CBS Evening News anchor. (She was en route to Tiffany & Co.) We could probably turn this situation into a profound declaration about the gossipization of news media, but that would sort of, uh, reinforce the gossipization of news media.

Senior McCain Advisor: Palin Did 'Fantastic' With My Buddy Katie
Before Nicolle Wallace took over the role of senior adviser to John McCain’s presidential campaign, the wrangling on the evening news in recent weeks over Sarah Palin’s performance in interviews with CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric might have been the kind of on-air debate she relished. “Governor Palin did fantastic,” the 36-year-old told The Observer in a telephone interview on the afternoon of Oct. 6. But since she took on this high-level communications job with the campaign in May of this ye

Palin on Couric: "I Did Feel That There Were A Lot Of Things That She Was Missing"

Bill Kristol Chit Chats With Sarah Palin!
Sarah Palin continues to avoid the “mainstream gotcha media” wing of yellow black journalists after Katie Couric, the host of a basic news program for old people, proved to be too In The Tank in too many interviews.

Sarah Palin Did Well in The VP Debate Last Night
First of all, haters gon hate. Although applicable in our everyday lives, the accuracy of that simple statement can not be disputed when it comes to politics and public figures. Joe Biden has dozens of national debates and nearly three decades in politics on his resume. Sarah has mayor, governor and lipstick-wearing hockey mom on hers. The debate was a David v. Goliath matchup. Of course, Biden owned it. How could he not! But unlike her Katie Couric pause-heavy, ditsy, cutesy interviews, Sarah Palin did a

[Huffington Post] She was also really sad when she read the papers this morning and found out that the campaign was pulling out of Michigan. They didn't tell her in advance that they were pulling out or that they don't care wha
