Busy today; some quick videos and such...
Palin can't name a newspaper she reads:
This is just weird - maybe she was just caught off-guard or something? But Couric's technique of asking an easy question, getting a reasonable response, and then following up seems to lead to bad results for Palin.
Palin gets interviewed with McCain:
"gotcha journalism" means asking questions, it seems.
Can't find a video for this one, but here's a transcript:
COURIC: Palin says she makes no apologies for her pro-life views and opposes abortion, even in the case of rape or incest.Guh? "Opposing" abortion is a bit different than outlawing it, which, unless I've gone crazy here, is the general pro-life position. So...confusing.
Gov. PALIN: I'm saying that personally I would counsel that person to choose life, despite horrific, horrific circumstances that this person would find themselves in. And if you're asking, though, kind of foundationally here should anybody end up in jail for having had an abortion, absolutely not. That's nothing that I would ever support.
mildly interesting politics quiz
