LOOK AT ME, I’M AN ATTENTION WHORE!
Katie Couric continued with her silly line of questioning in a recent interview with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. When asked what newspapers and magazine she read, Palin wisely avoided the question because it would indicate her favoritism for certain newspapers and magazines over others.
In this video, drama queen Sean Combs is totally clueless to Palins’ savvy PR move to avoid a loaded question.
Why would Palin favor one newspaper over another — especially since she’s running for vice-pres

The VP Debate Drinking Game!
In case you haven’t heard, tonight is the biggest, baddest and most important VP debate EVER.
And nothing goes better with big, bad and important events quite like drinking games. We at CC have created a drinking game worthy of the event, so grab your friends (bonus if they are on the other team…it just makes everything more fun), all the essentials, and get your political game on!
What you will need:

Katie Couric asks Sarah Palin, Joe Biden which previous vice president impresses them most
CBS News is not sharing the answers, but we have the questions from a segment to air on Thursday's "CBS Evening News With Katie Couric."
The segment is called "Vice Presidential Questions," and Couric poses them to Sen. Joe Biden and Gov. Sarah Palin. Wednesday's segment has been the source of a lot of discussion. Palin weighed in on Roe v. Wade. But when asked what other Supreme Court decisions she disagreed with, Palin couldn't supply any specifics.
Here are Thursday's questions:
In Latest YouTube Dispatch, Katie Couric Gets Back in Touch With Her Tri-Delta Days
With Katie Couric's stash of amazing Sarah Palin footage running perilously low, we thought we'd check back in with the CBS News anchor's personal YouTube channel.
Lucky us!
Turns out that yesterday, Ms. Couric posted her latest candid camera video, which was shot last week at the University of Mississippi on the eve of the first presidential debate.
There, Ms. Couric catches wind of a banner bearing her name hanging outside the university's Delta, Delta, Delta sorority.
Ms. Couric promptly hops in a
Why Palin May Do Better Than You Think
Besides "expectations," that is.
The forum. Beyond the content of her answers, the most damaging element of Sarah Palin's interviews with Charles Gibson and Katie Couric was her self-presentation. She seemed nervous—really nervous—tensing up, running sentences together and seeming to throw out verbiage defensively, like squid ink. Anyone who saw her speak at the Republican National Convention, or has watched her on the stump, knows that Sarah Palin has no such jitters addressing an audience. Now, a
THE BIG NIGHT: AN EXPERTS ADVICE & OUR OWN
Meaningful Distraction got the scoop on how the VPers should behave during tonight’s big debate from expert, Dr. Richard Edwards, author of Competitive Debate: The Official Guide.
Dr. Edwards advice for Sarah Palin:
• Concentrate less on details of the McCain campaign and more on examples and stories which show the ability to connect with ordinary Americans
• Less formal town hall format offers ideal opportunity to show understanding for the concerns of Main Street.
• Don’t worry abo
WANNA BET? HOW MANY TIMES WILL SARAH PALIN MENTION RUSSIA TONIGHT?
In honor of McCain’s penchant for gambling, I would like to direct your attention to BetOnline.com. The over/under on the number of times Palin mentions ‘Russia’ is currently at 2 1/2, with the site favoring the over.

Diddy vs. Palin: Battle Of The Unlikeables
Damnit, Diddy! Why did you have to open your mouth again and post a stupid YouTube video about how much Sarah Palin scares you? You almost — almost — forced us to agree with you for once, until you busted out that odd heavy panting and hiding under the covers bit. This isn't the Blair Witch Hunt, Puff. And you probably just won McCain a few new votes out of spite.
Just … stop. Please.

Sandra Bernhard Axed From Benefit Because of Sarah Palin Joke
Comedian Sandra Bernhard was scheduled to headline an annual benefit for Rosie's Place, a women's shelter in Boston. Then, less than a month ago at her one-woman show in Washington, Bernhard made a "joke" about Governor Sarah Palin, saying that Palin would be "gang-raped by my Big Black brothers" if she ever came to NYC.
Isn't that hysterical? I've never been a fan of Bernhard's comedy...she just grates on me, worse than Dane Cook. But that's pretty far over the
John McCain's Weird TV Habits
What is it about the Republican nominees that they can't watch TV like normal people? First Sarah Palin claims she watched Tina Fey's impersonation of her with the sound off, and now John McCain reveals that he sometimes reads screenplays of his favorite shows instead of watching them.
In an interview for Radar's October/November issue (not online yet), Ana Marie Cox asked the Arizona senator about his pop culture preferences. McCain listed Dexter, Lost, Seinfeld and The Wire as his favorite shows, and a
Sarah Palin Has Nothing To Lose Tonight [Debates]
newVideoPlayer("/palin_awfulmoments_gawker.flv", 506, 423,""); For American presidential campaigns, the run-up to any televised debate is nothing so much as an exercise in managing expectations. Your opponent is fearsome and will probably crush you. Your own candidate will be lucky to form a single coherent sentence. Then, after the debate, you can spin a weak performance as a come-from-behind victory. In this little game of flackery, Sarah Palin could not be better positioned for tonight's face-off agains

Weiner: 'Stop Iran' Rally Was a 'Complete Mess'
Before Hillary Clinton spoke at a dinner at the Grand Hyatt last night, Representative Anthony Weiner chatted with reporters about the September 22 "Stop Iran" rally, which was originally going to include appearances by both Clinton and Sarah Palin, but from which, after Clinton pulled out, all elected officials were disinvited.
“I don’t believe this was a grand conspiracy. It was a complete mess by the organizers. It got too political,” Weiner said. He added, jokingly, “The casualty her

Clinton is also asked whether she has any advice for Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin on how to deal with the aspects of running for office, including being parodied on shows like "Saturday Night Live" and being the butt of jokes by late night talk show hosts.

NAMES AND FACES: Hillary Clinton turned down Paula Deen interview
Now it can be told -- with Hillary Clinton out of the presidential race. Food Network's Southern home-cooking queen Paula Deen told the Ladies' Home Journal that she almost met the New York senator earlier this year while she was on the campaign trail. "I was going to meet her in North Carolina, where she was campaigning, and I was gonna interview her on the foods she grew up on and what she and her family like to eat now -- just very light and nonpolitical," Deen said. "But at the last minute, her people c
Gay Condi Rumors Derailed Veep Chances, Claims RNC Source
Hillary Clinton made sure of that, drawing 18 million of the votes and breaking down barriers for countless ladies across the country. When Clinton lost the Democratic party's nomination and it became clear nominee Barack Obama would not ask her to run for him, the Republican National Committee became more determined than ever to bring a woman onto their ticket, according to an RNC source close to the selection process.
This source tells Ian Halperin, an investigative reporter who previously exposed
Obama v. McCain: Ad-war hits both ways
Before anyone gets too indignant about any negative campaigning going on, an independent analyst has found that Barack Obama and John McCain have aired pretty much the same number of negative TV campaign ads against one another.
From June 3 through Sept. 7, according to The Nielsen Co., the campaign of Republican John McCain ran 76,238 negative ads against Democrat Barack Obama in the presidential contest, and the Obama campaign ran 75,246 negative ads against McCain.
