Katie Couric vs. Tina Fey: Who was more devastating to Palin?

The interview Palin gave Couric did her immeasurably more damage than Fey did, but it was Palin herself and not Couric who did the damage.

that really did her in for me. Seriously given an hour with a few RNC talking points, I could have answered the questions that Katie had for her better than she did. However I do give her credit for her debate prep. Even though Biden beat her hands down int he VP debate, I give her credit for cramming for it like a college student for a final. It was not the train wreck it could have been. I just wish Joe knocked her down with one sentence the way he did to Rudy Guiliani.

As for Tina. She was THE best thing that came out of Sarah Palin. I almost dressed as Palin for Halloween (I could have gotten away wtih it had i done my hair the right way) and went door to door to the Republicans in town saying things like "I can see Russia from my house" and "I think marriage is a sacred union between two unwilling teenagers" but instead I chose to take the high road that Obama's campaign took.

She's a nitwit and the American public saw through it.

Quite a thing to watch. It's not like Couric was asking "gotcha" questions.

The Couric interview planted the knife, Fey twisted it.

It wasn't Couric's questions that did Palin in; it was Palin's answers to them. But even before the interview, she had become such a caricature that Fey was able to lift her actual dialouge at one point.

started losing. I have to say the Couric interviews, played endlessly was more the gift that kept on giving.
Especially when she said her experience was that Russians flew over her state.

Instead of the evil, power hungry demagogue, Tina made her look like a lovable ditz.

and Palin doesn't do well with women. She can't pull off that flirty, wink-wink act facing another woman. that's why she seemd more confident in the first interview with Gibson (even though she bombed that too) but the impact wasn't as great because Couric intimidated her.

Cassius:

"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

Julius Caesar (I, ii, 140-141)

it was subtle, but deadly. She used Palin's own words to condemn her. Couric provided amunition, but it was Fey who drove the knife into the heart.

It really drove home the point about how clueless and un-presidential she was, to allow herself to be mocked so directly, insulted to her face, and appear not to have a clue, and to such a wide viewing audience--it was pure gold!

just totally brutal. Allowing Palin to get those heels fully into her mouth. Carrot.

wasn't informed enough to be a running mate.

or admit to. I've seen politicians like her--clueless and ignorant, but ambitious and charismatic, with an overly inflated regard for him/herself. The socially conservative ones who are popular are the ones the Repug overlords (i.e., PNAC signatories) look for, because they can be controlled, er, "handled" to advance the Repug overlords' dark, warmongering, corporatist, conservative agenda. They've had extraordinary success with Bush (and just look at the nightmarish, Orwellian, war-profiting world they created!)and will undoubtedly try again in 2012.

I am just so relieved those monsters are no longer in power (or the power behind the power).

and even better opportunity and she took full advantage of it.

Palin's arrogance was the most devasting thing to her.

Don't underestimate the power of mockery.

than either of those two.
