I tried to watch more video of Katie Couric with Palin and heard her explain her lack of a passport until recently. I had already read the transcript so I knew what was coming, so I thought. Forget high school prom queen, she sounded like a teeny bopper. I flipped over in the middle of her answer about not having parents that could her to Europe with a backpack and thousands of dollars to blow and she said this: "Neeeyyeewww, I've been worki(flip). I felt sick.
And this wasn't my first hair-pulling-out reaction to this interview. When I read the transcript of her response to specifics of McCain's efforts to regulate the financial institutions, she did not say "I'll look for something and get back to you" she said "I'll get back to ya" in a flippant manner and with a wink that completely pissed me off. No wonder McCain tried to postpone the debates...he and his handlers saw the entire video before we did and knew she wasn't ready to speak, let alone debate. He tried floating the idea of cancelling tonight's debate to give her more time, which failed the bullshit test in the MSM.
I look forward to next week's debate, but I don't think I can bear to watch it for fear I will jam my foot into our tv and electrocute myself...intentionally.
