Palin to sit down with Couric next week

Anyone got Katie's email. We should explain to Katie that they assume she will not do a hard hitting interview because she is a girl. And if she really wants to be considered a real Journalist, she will toss out the prepared questions, and really probe her mentally.

It's Sexist of them to think Katie is a "safe" interviewer. The person that makes Palin Spill it
will make their Career for life! I am sure Katie is the Ambitious sort!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I expect this to be a very softball interview. Katie Couric is very sensitve when it comes to gender issues, and I thought she leaned very heavily toward Hillary in the primaries.

Yesterday, McCain aides hinted to the Washington Post that Couric was next in line for an interview with Sarah Palin, and TVNewser now confirms it. Couric will interview Palin next week on the campaign trail.

1. Is there any chance that it won't be totally nauseating?

3. Not much
No matter how much Couric might despise that female, she loves her paycheck more.

Expect softballs. It won't do any good, though. Palin's unfortunate habit of screeching will remind an even larger audience of annoying female relatives.

2. Perky Katie meets Caribou Barbie! Whee!
Katie could surprise us by proving her journalistic chops once and for all. She could refuse to be deferential (gag). It could happen.

5. Couric is going to roll over SO hard.
Which will suit her war profiteering bastard employers quite well.

6. Katie only asks hard and irrelelvent questions to Obama and Biden
She is a partisan hack I won't tune in to help boost their ratings.

7. I call bullshit on these sit-down interviews
I want a live, unscripted, unpredicable, no-holds-barred, old-school fucking NEWS CONFERENCE, with Helen Thomas asking the first question.

I won't settle for anything less.

10. Gag
Although.... did they not use Couric in that stupid YouTube video and then had to take it off? I hope Couric surprises me and is tough.
She swung back later on that night on her program. I don't want all that personal soft garbage, family, blah blah blah. Not interviewing for a "nanny".

11. Hey, Gibson was tossing softballs at Palin, and she blew it
This one with Couric will be no different, with Palin swinging and missing on big, pumpkin sized softballs. She be great entertainment, better still because the campaign is really trying to dumb it down for her, and so far they still going to far above her head.

Once more, she'll be exposed for the vacuous, brainless idiot she is.

12. I think I read earlier that McCain is going to be there with her?
I may be wrong on that but I think he'll be hanging around.

14. Talk about the decline and fall of
Western civilization. Unqualified "journalist" interviews unqualified Vice Presidential candidate. It will be a perky/spunky Festival.
