Flashback to Katie Couric interview: Sarah Palin cannot answer a simple question about who is the most influential journalist.



(Palin portion starts at the 1:21 mark.)

Does she EVER know anything?

First she has to ask Todd, who is JUST as much of a dimwit as she is. Then she says she has to go think about it (as if the interviewer will still be standing there when she can finally come up with an answer), and then somebody tells her to say "Greta" and she grabs onto it like a drowning victim.

Who in their right mind would accept Greta Van Sucks-to-be-Palin's-Buddy as the example of an influential journalist? You know who besides the woman whose influence depends on Greta and Sean Hannity's softball questions of course?

Personally I agree with Contessa Brewer. I also think Rachel Maddow rocks!

    BAWAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Sarah is completely retarded.
    What would happen during a 3 am phone call to Sarah

    Oh,...oh what to do,...ummmm....you need an answer now? Ummm....Tawd, Tawd!
    But Sarah rolls over and Tawd is not there....he has not returned home from the prostitutes house yet.

  3. Somewhere Katie Couric is emailing her private friends list with "See? TOLD you it wasn't just me! This woman is an idiot!"

    Couric should be nominated for an Oscar for keeping a straight face thru out that interview with Palin in 2008! I would have laughed in her face.

    I mean, can anyone see that respond about Greta as anything but idiotic???????

    Oh right - the Palinites would.

    Geez Sarah - uh....how many all those nice people at Fox who give you the easy interviews? Hannity, O'Reilly....even Limbaugh? Tammy Bruce? Those clown at the Bob & Mark show?

    hahhahahaha she is monumentally STUPID.

    Watch - 3 page Facebook post coming up on Palin's answer to that question....see, see, she really IS smart!! Just not on the spot smart.....she's smart after a couple of days of thinking!!! Real quick on the up-take, that's our gal Sarah!

    Sadly, the most influential "journalists" right now are probably a bunch of corporate hacks who send out their press releases to the various news outlets. Not that I would expect Palin to know that, either.

    But my vote for who SHOULD be the most influential journalists would be Matt Taibbi and Greg Palast.

    Palin neither reads nor watches any news of any sort. She is an uniformed moron who wallows with slovenly pride in her obdurate ignorance. She is vindictive, narcissistic, obtuse beyond belief, and so unaware of anything outside her own orbit that it is a wonder she hasn't been hit and killed trying to cross the street.

    She is an international laughingstock, yet she fancies herself a geopolitical player. She can't even dress herself without appearing to be either blind, drunk, or playing dress up in Mommy's closet.

    She is an arrogant nouveau-riche white trash hillbilly who has less class than Tonya Harding. Come to think of it, she probably has less in the way of brains than Tonya Harding.

    Palin is a self inflating imbecilic cretinous peawit who is so fucking stupid that she thinks she simply belongs on the national stage.

    It was an apt metaphor that she wore shoes two or three sizes too large for her to this event: Palin is trying to wear the president' s shoes which are MANY sizes too large for her.

    Sarah dear, sit down and shut up. Better yet, go the fuck away forever.

    For a person with half of a functioning brain there are a couple of ways she could have handled this. She is an employee of FOX News. Everybody would have understood if she had said, "Boy it's a toss up between Bill and Glen and Sean."

    Of course, none of those guys is a "journalist" in the strict definitation of the word, but it would have been an acceptable answer.

    She was at the MSNBC party. She could have laughed charmingly and named anybody at MSNBC and it would have been an acceptable answer.

    She could have picked a grey beard like Bill Moyers or Jim Lehrer from PBS, or Bob Woodward, and it would have been an acceptable answer.

    But she is so criminally stupid she froze and couldn't name anyone. Where the hell is the damn iceberg? This has to end.

  25. Gryph,

    You've sure been busy this morning! Thanks for posting this obscure video & also Lawrence's from last night.

    The GOP was running scared BEFORE Sunday; now their tails are tucked between their legs. The media should just call off GOP coverage between now & Christmas (really meaningless until next year).

    OT. Those "pundits" who sagely refer to the fact that Bush 41 lost in 1992 despite sky-high post-Desert Storm approval numbers seem to conveniently forget that Clinton was a charismatic charmer that average Americans could relate to (despite his obvious womanizing tendency). No potential GOP 2012 candidate could remotely be described as "charismatic." Also Ross Perot had a lot to do with the 1992 outcome.

    To quote Keith Olbermann, "That woman is an IDIOT!"

    (As an aside, my son got me a DVR because of Rachel. When her show came on, everything STOPPED in the house. I had to hear every word she spoke, which meant no one could talk to me or around me. lol

    I wish Couric would investigate Palin's tax credit received from the State of Alaska (more than one million dollars!)for the special "Palin's Alaska" which was the biggest farce ever made.

    It was political, which is against the rules in obtaining the tax credit. Remember, our current Gov. Parnell is who she appointed as second in command. He eventually was voted into the position, which was a huge mistake as we are all finding out now.

    It should be noted that the rules for obtatining tax credits for making movies in Alaska was on the State of Alaska website, but immediately was taken down when the Anchorage Daily News ran a story about Palin receiving the one million plus credit for her TV special.

    The special is now out on DVD. A blogger has filed a complaint w/the State of Alaska about this matter, but I suspect it will go nowhere....especially w/Palin's friend, Parnell, being the head of our state government.

A woman who wants to be seen as powerful should never defer to her husband in public. Especially over something so silly as "Who's the most influential journalist".

    Be sure and purchase the book coming out soon by Frank Bailey who worked w/Palin from the time she decided to run for the positon of governor to the time she quit, as a member of her administration.

    "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin"

    Palin lacks the mental acumen to get a job on Maddow's staff making coffee or fetching Diet Cokes. Maddow actually reads, writes, and thinks for herself. Maddow is an intellect and Palin is an imbecile.

    OTOH, perhaps she was racking her brain to think of a FOX news person who was actually an influential journalist. I'm sure she wouldn't want to name a non-FOX person.

    So funny, when you think about it; her bete noire is journalists, she's always whining about them, so you'd think she'd have someone in mind who she thought was a good example.

    If her abilities are so fragile they're damaged by navigating the media everyone else is capable of navigating - I say good riddance to her.

    Surely, as a journalism major Sarah studied about dozens if not hundreds of world famous and US famous founders,activists and influential journalists, satanists,colonists, cartoonists, newspaper owners etc.

    I'll bet we could come up with 40 or 50 on this blog tonight, journalism majors can't play.

    Nast, Herst, Graham, Johnathan Swift, Ernei Pyle, Trudeau, Cronkite, Walter Winchell, Robert Scheer, Ben Franklin and on and on.

    She had to have studied them. After all she took journalism at 5 universities so she studied them 5 times over.
    Now that Trump wants Obamas academic records, we should increase the heat for Sarah to do the same.

    Don't confuse "she acted like a star" with being treated like one.

    When was the last time anyone saw Greta Van Sustern wearing anything even close to "heterosexually Acceptable Women's Attire?" She wears untaylored blazers and mens shirts on every show, but because she's "married" to a "male", no one brings up her "masculine" manner of dress. Has Greta ever researched her material and gotten to the core of a question or idea? She's nothing more than a smart news reader.
    Rachel is an openly gay woman who's earned the title of "journalist", not for who she loves or how she dresses, but for her consistant good reporting and research.

    Sarah, unfortunately, is out of her league even at fox, and could never hold her own on any other news station. Sarah's closer to Maury Povitch/Jerry Springer type journalism, and even that would be a stretch.

    Here are the five points that Sarah offered to the military families in her Colorado speech:

    First, we should only commit our forces when clear and vital American interests are at stake, period.

    Second, if we have to fight, we fight to win. To do that we use overwhelming force. We only send our troops into war with the objective to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible. We do not send our military and stretch out the mission with an open-ended and ill-defined mission. Nation-building, a nice idea in theory, but it’s not the main purpose of our armed forces. We use our military to win wars.

    And third, we must have clearly defined goals and objectives before sending our troops into harm’s way. If you can’t explain the mission to the American people clearly, concisely, then our sons and daughters should not be sent to battle. Period.

    Fourth, American soldiers must never be put under foreign command. We will fight side by side by our allies, but American soldiers must remain under the care and command of the American officers.

    And fifth, sending our armed forces should be the last resort. We don’t go looking for dragons to slay. However, we will encourage the forces of freedom around the world who are sincerely fighting for the empowerment of the individual.

    This sounds like a high school pep rally, fight to win, clearly defined goals. Sarah should know that the US Army has its own Military Code of Conduct and clearly stated mission statement and goals. In fact, they have a number of duties during both war time and peace. However, the first on Sarah's list should have been defending the United States from attack. Sarah's first point puts us on the ground defending our interest in oil in pick-your-Middle-East-Country.

    "I was impressed with her last year, in the last election, when she was one of the losing candidates.'

    "She speaks very well, I think. She gets a lot of bad press, which I don't think is really deserved."

    "For me, (she's) just too far right on too many things. I just don't think she represents where we really need to be going."

  165. It is hilarious that she couldn't name one journalist for the network she works for......until she saw one of them (Greta), and then even Greta denied she was a journalist.

  166. The citizen from Alaska couldn't answer because she thinks SHE is the most influential journalist. She's probably patting herself on the back for having the insight not to name herself. "See, I can be President"...........I know what to do.

    Molly isn't "in the dental business." She's a dental assistant.

    WHO and WHY was Sarah and Todd invited to any of this, never mind Bristol? Why? Why is she still getting mileage?
    This is right up there with Netanyahu foolishly playing at the US foreign dignitary treatment.
    Okay, Israelis, you all look stupider than us Americans. We seem to be stuck with her having been forced on us. YOU guys are INVITING her and assisting her with creating a "presence." Wow.

    Any self-respecting Alaskan would have named Howard Rock as an influential journalist. That's a no-brainer and particularly reasonable, considering Todd's heritage.

    I like Rachel, she's my favorite, but the correct answer has to be Katie Couric for no other reason than she exposed Sarah for a dumbshit right out of the fucking gate!!!

    4:47 pm Ran into Bristol in NY




    Sure you did, the only problem with that is she was not in NY.

  171. Gasman 11:54 hit each nail on the head including the wardrobe issues.

    Palin is convinced she is the extreme opposite of her real self and a text book case of smoke and mirrors.

    Second, if we have to fight, we fight to win. To do that we use overwhelming force. We only send our troops into war with the objective to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible. We do not send our military and stretch out the mission with an open-ended and ill-defined mission.

    So she disagrees with George W. Bush, I see?

    For a real dumbass, she takes the cake. I don't believe she has a college degree. I don't believe she knows anything about journalism or communication. She lied many times about her major and her hours don't add up.

    She is so smug and lost that if she did run, it will be the biggest lost in history. But she won't see it as to what it is, real peopldon'tnt like what she is putting down.

    She has a mouth on her that causes death. She makes no apologies nor associate herself with Rep. Giffords' tragedy.

    She is one sick woman that can't see the writing on the walls which is troubling in itself.

    She believes her fuck-ups make her real, her rude, nasty, petty, sickening comments makes her a maverick. It makes her the joke she loves to be.

    Her whole damn family is weird and dysfunctional.

    @2:01 - Yes. Bristol WAS in NYC at the Candies event. Or the person formerly known as Bristol...

    I've enjoyed monitoring Palin's misadventures as much as anyone, and I've on occasion enjoyed playing amateur comedian in these blog comments.

    But something happened last night while I was trying to fall asleep. Something about that video of Palin literally floundering over such a simple question was haunting me.

    And then there was all the gleeful attacks on her orange legs, too-big shoes and stains on her mis-matched outfit. And new mockery of Bristol's obvious surgery (I agree she was attractive before, she didn't need it. This makes me sad).

    And... I dunno. I suddenly realized my conscience was bothering me about it all. I'm kinda feeling like we've become a pack of jackals. Despite all the divisive, hateful, ignorant things she's said, I fear we've become something worse.

    I realized that I can't deal with the hypocrisy of despising Rush Limbaugh for doing it, but being okay with myself when *I* do it.

    Taking apart her public statements is one thing, that's justifiable. Like anyone else, if you're going to put yourself out there with public commentary, then it's only fair to expect people to critique it.

    But I feel like we've maybe gone too far in the petty, personal attacks, and we've just become vicious. I don't like feeling we've sunk to Limbaugh's level. I like to think we're better than that.

    I won't lie, I've enjoyed many a good laugh at $arah's expense, but now it just feels... wrong. There was something so desperate and terrified in her response on that video that I suddenly found myself feeling like the schoolyard bully, beating up a kid two grades younger than me.

    I feel like I've become the thing I hate. And really, all joking aside, do any of you *really* want to witness this woman's public emotional breakdown? I've realized that I really don't.

    If I were religious, I'd think that God has been setting her up to learn a BIG lesson about humility that she keeps refusing to learn. But he might be setting us up for that same lesson.

    As much as I don't want the woman anywhere near a microphone or seat of power, I also don't want to be witness to her self destruction, or feel that I participated in it.

    It's been good fun until now, but I saw something in that video that made me feel dirty and ashamed, and made me realize that maybe there is a human being inside the shallow caricature.

    So, while I may check in once in a while to see if anything REAL is going on, I'm not going to participate in the jackal pack anymore.

    I'd rather just ignore her and get on with my life. I think in the end, Sarah is her own worst enemy, and she doesn't need my help.

    Here's genuinely hoping she decides to quietly fade from view and enjoy the rest of her life on the millions she fleeced out of her 'bot army.

    Sarah, I can honestly say that my mockery was always meant as comedy and that I never had any true hatred in my heart. But sometimes you get so wrapped up in the comedy fun and the roar of the crowd, that you fail to recognize it's become something hateful and destructive.

    But don't think that lets you off the hook. If you continue to spew hateful divisive rhetoric, misinformation and propaganda in the attempt to undermine and dehumanize those you disagree with, I'll be back to give you the snark-fueled drubbing you so richly deserve.

    Word.

    I'm surprised she didn't say "Me! I'm the best!"
