Defending Palin against Couric

Now let's see exactly how many DUers think it's serious.

I'm not trying to cause a stir, I promise. It's an honest attempt at providing just a little humor. I hope I didn't break any rules.

:silly:

someone asks me what newspapers I typically read. NY Times, Canton Repository, Akron Beacon Journal and sometimes USA Today while traveling. Gee that is fucking tough.

having to read the McPaper while traveling?

You would have gotten 3rd degree burns from the flames. Better be careful. GDP has a short fuse.

All we can do is laugh at this situation! (Or cry later on...hopefully not!)

You know how them expense-cuttin' mavericks are.

:rofl:
Well someone does need to keep an eye on all those Rushans illegul ummigrants or something :o.

I think most bright adults should be able to come up with a list of what they like to read on the spot without having to think too hard. Example: "Oh, the New York Times, love that style section! USA Today, The Washington Post, The National Review, The Washington Times, Time, Newsweek, and for fun I read Vanity Fair sometimes and InStyle.

Couric asked a very fair question that was designed to bring out a little of her Palin's personality. Instead, Palin's defensive, non-answer points to her utter lack of intellectual curiosity. We've had enough of that over the last eight years.

The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The (London) Times, The Washington Post, The Omaha World Herald, The Council Bluffs Nonpareil, Santa Monica Daily Press, San Francisco Chronicle, The Las Vegas . . . Sun?, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun Times, Des Moines Register, The Financial Times, The National Enquirer, The Globe, The New York Post.

Time, Newsweek, US News and World Report, The New Yorker, Forbes, Fortune, The Economist, Card Player, The (American Contract Bridge League) Bulletin, Money, People, Us, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Prevention, Runners World, Organic Gardening, Men's Health, Motor Trend, Field and Stream, (leaving out Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler and Club) ESPN The Magazine, Sports Illustrated . . . .

shaking my head at her in bewilderwondermentness

When you can't hit a tee-ball, you probably shouldn't be in the game.. because most 5 year olds can hit a tee-ball. And, most 5 year olds can name their local home town newspaper too.. that might have been a place to start.

"Well, every morning I always get briefed and thumb through the Juneua Times.. " :eyes:

For fucks sake - I answered the question for her as I watched the interview...

I can not wait for Thursday. I can not wait for Thursday. I can not wait for Thursday. I can not wait for Thursday...

I don't think the moderators are going to have any problem with your post.

They're in a good mood lately, lots to be grateful for, not least of which is the way Palin keeps us in stitches!

Welcome to DU!

The Detroit Free Press. I've read "Time" magazine since college. Wasn't Palin on any covers? You'd think she would have at least remembered that. Well, except National Enquirer.

"Umm, yeah, the Miami Times..."

:)

today i would have to answer, that no, i do not read newspapers or mag, and i read all day long. and into the night. what i read is du that has an assortment of articles and journalist opinions and hear from the mouth what the politicians are saying. i read cnn and msnbc and all the other mag org that has an article of interest. i read the internet.

though i have a subscription from snithsonian, nation geographic, and times coming to house last three years, but it sits on dining room table for boys and hubby to sit down and read cause boys dont use internet to read.

Oh that's right they ain't so good at learning from their own mistakes

I can't wait for tonight's installment.

from her office, does that count?

My 13 year old was able to name both of our local papers & a bunch of magazines, my 16 year old named at least a dozen of each. Then I let them watch the clip of her stupid answer.

Terre Haute Tribune Star, Indianapolis Star, Newsweek, US News & World Report, The Nation, Mother Jones.

That's what occurred to me 15 seconds. If she can't even name the hometown paper where she's from, that's sad.

:) just kidding
