I happened to be home sick on Monday and found myself firmly planted on the couch in front of the TV when Oprah came on. It was Sarah Palin's big day in the sun. It was like passing a wreck on the highway. I couldn't not look.
The part of the interview that made me the maddest was when she blamed her disastrous Katie Couric interview on her handlers. She said they'd told her that it was going to be a casual, light mom-to-mom conversation, and they didn't really do any prep work with her. Hello?? You're the candidate for vice-president. You should have been prepped before you took the job! That's generally one of the qualities we look for in a vice-president, preparation. The "What magazines do you read?" question should have been an easy one. Reporters love to ask candidates that question. And Sarah Palin calling Katie Couric "the perky one?" Not just mean-girls snarky, but pot-kettle-black.
I also found it interesting (and infuriating) that she is still not able, months later, to offer a coherent reason for why she quit as Alaska's governor. Her stated reason was that she was a lame duck and knew she wasn't going to run for another term. OK, fine. So why did you quit again? She cannot communicate; she is nothing more than a talking point robot. And her talking points aren't even any good.
Why? Why on earth would anyone support her as a candidate for any office higher than PTA president?

I wouldn't hire her to run the PTA. No way.
ReplyDeleteDitto for me too - Mamacita! I lost all respect (with what little I had for her!) for Oprah for going to the trouble of interviewing her. Did she really need the "ratings"???!!
ReplyDeleteShe's an idiot. It's funny you mention the 'magazines' thing, last night it came up in conversation, I mean REALLY??? you can't name a news publication...if asked again she probably reads National Enquirer and People!
