I think I know why Palin did her worst interview yet with Katie Couric...
She wasn't able to flirt with Couric-rubbing her leg, batting her eyes, charming her, etc.

1. That could be. Plus Katie fixed her with a totally serious expression
while asking questions and waiting for answers-- kind of hard to wink your way through that!!

5. Yup...
she didn't get to successfully "charm" her.

10. Nope-- but then, Couric is a big-time Dem, so I've heard
However, that shouldn't matter if one is "fair and balanced," no? LOL

19. Her sister (now deceased) was my State Senator
when I was in Grad School at UVA. BUT, I have my doubts about Katie herself. She is nowhere near fair and balanced.

6. From Couric's facial expressions, even if Palin TRIED to charm her,
it didn't work.

13. I cracked up watching Couric's facial expressions
You could tell what she was thinking. And it wasn't good.

21. I don't know much, but a while ago Couric was dating Laura Ingraham's ex-fiance.
You know, the one who dumped Laura after she was diagnosed with breast cancer, with the wedding only months away. Laura had announced to her loyal fans that she would be marching down the aisle on schedule, even if she had to do it hooked up to a chemo drip. Then, all of a sudden, the wedding was off, and her fiance was dating Katie.

And that's why I am so happy Gwen Ifill is moderating the VP debate.

9. The impression I got from Couric is "Jesus Christ, *I'm* more qualified than her."

11. Most intelligent hard working women are sickened by this lady...
she is not intelligent, she's bullshitted her way to Governor but she is in no way qualified for the office she is seeking. It's an embarrassment. She is NOT one of us...she's a freaking idiot.

20. and you know she has her place in this world, just dont hold her up as an example of who i am
that is for sure. as i am sure many small town people are offended that it is implied this is who they are either.

17. She blew it on purpose IMO
she is just setting up low expectations for Thursdays debate. She will be way better there than in that interview. Its how McCain opperates... shock and awe.

(doubt it will work though:) )
