In an interview aired Tuesday on "The CBS Evening News," anchor Katie Couric asked Palin what publications she had read to stay informed and to understand the world.

"I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media," Palin replied. Asked for examples, she said, "Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years."

Asked again for an example, Palin told Couric: "I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, 'Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?' Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America."

Wow. That's a series of statements worthy of W.

i read the internet and watch the news on tv to stay informed and understand the world. very few actual "publications"

that's not acceptable for a VP candidate. She couldn't come up with something? What about PEOPLE magazine?

Have you seen this actual clip? It's painful to watch, like an episode of The Office or Curb Your Enthusiasm. How can you be an apologist for this candidate that is so very clearly WAY out of her depth?

I'd be pissed at my party for allowing such an unqualified person get the nod for VP, not blindly supporting her despite overwhelming evidence that the GOP screwed the pooch big time putting her in this position.

how was her not saying what papers she reads "out of her depth"?

if obama does lose, you'd be right.

the missus is from kentucky, and she assured me the reason why clinton won the primary there - despite the fact that her campaign was sinking at the time and that locals despised her east-coast elitism - was because so people simply refused to vote for an african-american, no matter how unpalatable the alternative is.

it's still shocking to me that in this day, folks still fall back on such knee-jerk reactions. sad that we're still so far from MLK's dream.

fine, then she could have said "i get my information online", and rattled off a few websites. and even you, an obviously techno-savvy individual, say "very few" - not "none". if pressed, i'll bet that you could some up with a newspaper or a mag that you flip through. it just points to either her lack of intellectual curiosity, or need to hide her true self. neither make for a good political leader, IMO.

so are the whites not voting for obama b/c he's black make this country racist or the blacks voting for obama b/c he is black make us racist? or both?

Have you not been paying attention?

OK, forget the newpaper issue, and answer this one question. Do you honestly think this woman is qualified to be VP, or President?

i know a lot of white people voting for obama. Does that make them a traitor to their own race?

just as much so as obama the failed "community organizer" and short term senator.

especially one that's factual - either you read publications or you don't. if you do, name them. if you don't, say so.

best palin analogy i've heard recently: her answers were like "a high-schooler trying to BS her way through a book report for a book she didn't read".

Well then god help us if your candidate wins.

i think palin has been advised to not give specifics . her advisors have handled her very poorly and i think she is just so afraid of that "gotcha" question at this point. do you honestly believe that the governor of alaska, and a former sports journalist, does not read any sort of news? i think the debate tonight will tell a lot if she strays away from the defensive stance shes been in and lets "loose" per say.

thank you chaz..i feel the same way about you.
