What a fuckin' retarded question ( no offense to the few retards here )... Who fuckin' cares what magazines she reads???
        I think you're missing the point as to why that response was so unbefuckinglievable. It's not a hard hitting question, it's one of those "getting to know you" sort of softballs that you'd never expect anyone to stumble over. I imagine Couric was thinking, "REALLY, you can't name a single magazine that you read? Wasn't expecting this to trip you up." The substance of the response doesn't even matter, it's a fluffer-type question to give her an opportunity to introduce herself to the American people. No way did anyone at CBS anticipate that being a "gotcha" type of question.

        I guess you're not aware that the GOP talking point in advance of the interview was that her proximity to Russia was an example of her foreign policy credentials? Gibson was not the first person to advance that asinine suggestion, it was the McCain campaign -- he was just asking her to elaborate on it, probably because it's an absurd claim (as you seem to recognize).

          the questions about the Alaska/Russia proximity or what magazines she reads may come across as stupid to you.. but HER responses are what's making these massive talking points on her lack of credentials to run a fucking PTA meeting let alone a whole country

              I would have given a stupid response myself, while (in the back of my mind) thinking of all the ridiculous "assumptions" that people & the media might make after I answered... New to the game of national politics and afraid of media bias (after her family just got sloshed all over the gossip rags)... I would have given a similarly awful (or worse) performance given this situation...

                Well then, clearly you're not ready to be vice president, either.

                There are few things funnier than normally intelligent people falling over themselves with self-deprecation to make excuses for Palin's obvious inadequacies.

                C'mon, if someone were to ask you a question like that, you could come up with a response. You know you could. It's OK. We all know that. Maybe she wasn't expecting the question, but national problems aren't necessarily going to present themselves in an orderly, predictable way, either. Watching her crash and burn over something this benign scares the hell out of me when I think about her reaction to a legitimately thorny issue.
