Sarah Palin, newspaper enthusiast

from ThinkProgress:



Palin on which newspapers she reads: ‘Um, all of them.’»

Tonight on the CBS Evening News, host Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin which sources she relies on for her news consumption. Three separate times, Couric tried to elicit a response from Palin about which specific newspapers she reads. Seemingly caught off guard, Palin could not name a single news source:

COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this — to stay informed and to understand the world?

PALIN: I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media —

COURIC: But what ones specifically? I’m curious.

PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.

COURIC: Can you name any of them?

PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.

1. How can you be a Governor of a state and not be able to name

the biggest daily in the state? I'm pretty sure my Gov reads the Omaha World Herald or Lincoln Journal Star. Because that's how you know what's happening in your state...

2. John Birch Society's New American doesn't count.

What an ignorant hag.

She reminds me of Jesse James' mother.

5. This is even worse when you see it on screen

6. "I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news." (I think she means half-vast.)

7. It's literally painful for me to listen to her speak.

Amazingly, she took less time to get to this state with me than George W. Bush did... and I didn't think that was even possible.

Should McCain / Palin somehow steal this election, I might as well take an axe to my TV set on election night, because it would be bound to happen within weeks anyway.
