Add Drudge to the list of media outlets that has got its hands on Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue. The top story on the site today links directly through an excerpt of the book, posted by Drudge, that details Palin’s decision to do the now infamous Katie Couric interviews. Apparently Palin agreed to them because she felt sorry for Katie:
Nicolle went on to explain that Katie really needed a career boost. “She just has such low self-esteem,” Nicolle said. She added that Katie was going through a tough time. “She just feels she can’t trust anybody.”
I was thinking, And this has to do with John McCain’s campaign how?
Nicolle said. “She wants you to like her.”
Hearing all that, I almost started to feel sorry for her. Katie had tried to make a bold move from lively morning gal to serious anchor, but the new assignment wasn’t going very well.
Snap! The truth of the matter is that those Palin interviews did give Katie Couric a much-needed career boost, the fact they also almost entirely delegitimatized Palin as a viable candidate, and pulled the rug out from under the McCain-Palin campaign in the process isn’t addressed in the excerpt. What is addressed is that apparently other than scheduling Couric McCain’s staffers tried pretty hard to keep Palin under wraps where the media was concerned.

McCain Adviser Denies Palin’s Claim She Granted Couric Interview Because She Pitied Couric’s Low Self Esteem.
One of the whackiest claims Sarah Palin makes in her new book is that she agreed to her disastrous interview with Katie Couric — a central event during Campaign 2008 — because a top McCain aide told her Couric had low self esteem, leading Palin to take pity on the CBS anchor.
A McCain adviser I just spoke to adamantly denied the claim, and provided a counter story: Palin was repeatedly urged by McCain aides to prepare for the interview, but refused...
“It’s not true,” the McCain adviser I just reached said, laughing heartily at the claim. “It’s ridiculous.” ...
“She lacked the knowledge base to stand in front of the press corps that was traveling with her and answer questions,” the adviser said delicately. “Because of the success of the convention speech, the feeling was that she should be exposed to as many people as possible directly, not through a media filter. The way to do that was to do interviews with the anchors.”
“The truth is, she refused to prepare for the Katie Couric interview,” the adviser continued. “She refused to engage in any preparation. And it was a disaster.”http://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/campaigns/mccain-advi... /

HarperCollins reclassifying Palin's book as Fiction in 3....2.....

At least she can prove who she is....FRAUD.

Wasn't you told to keep this bullshit in the one thread? Yet you still carry on and on about it? What is it? You can't read or just too stupid to follow simple instructions.

"Very Well Said"!!! :-X
-
Note her devout 'palin 2012' followers aren't saying they believe her. They dont'.
-
I think EVERYONE should feel sorry Couric.Her ratings are the lowest in the history of HER NETWORKS NIGHT TIME NEWS PROGRAM.She gets her ass handed to her every night of the week.Add to that her gummy smile and I think a little sympathy is well deserved.
I also feel bad that when Joe Biden was interviewed by her he said "FDR WAS PRESIDENT IN 1929 AND WENT ON TELEVISION".Perhaps the dumbest statement ANYT politician has EVER made.

No.
And neither will the vast majority of the rest of the country.
Face it. You are infatuated with a dingbat that couldn't handle the position anyway.

Ha ha. Do I make endless threads about Palin?
Notice the threads I started today. KSM Trial, War protests, etc.
Have you commented on any of these ? no.
You are the one infatuated with her.
-
Just forget about her.
IMO, it's probably only leftist who will bring up Palin from now on, realising that Palin is a perfect target.
Republicans will leave her be.
So how about just drop her. She's not really part of the GOP think tank anymore.

Why not discuss real issues like you always beg for than this side show.

I watch fox a lot, and she's on their discussion every day quite often. she's interesting. people on both sides of aisle want to talk about her.
i already agreed with you on KSM - O is using it for political gain, plain and simple.

Have you noticed this thread about PALIN?
That is what to be discussed here in THIS THREAD. I know you hate and want to change the subject but let's try to keep thread on topic shall we?

it's both sides. You're a conservative who posts Palin 2012 bumper stickers. Hannity has her this week. FOX is talking about her a lot. Everybody is. She was the VP nominee and is probably today's biggest, most public voice of the Repub party- she is a big deal.
-
I like her you know that.
However, the attacks minute by minute over a private citizen is ridiculous when you have KSM coming to NYC, Health Care Deform, Crap & Tax, our presidents going on a world apology tour etc.

that private citizen is one of the top 5 republican voice in the country. When she speaks, people listen. Far more to her than a Newt, Mitt, whoever. She has a huge platform - and she's using it in a major way.
-
You can't be a private citizen and shun the limelight when you are actively out on tv and tours jumping in it every chance you get.
Boo-Hoo. The Suckage gets overpowering at times I suppose.
-
All this talk about Palin...I'm just not that interested in her.
-
Rush and Glen beck are private citizens too. So is guiliani.
Most major repub voices are private citizens, interestingly enough.

240 - you need to stop drinking and doing drugs.

I watched three minutes of morning Joe this morning.I find it funny when he insults Palin.Hey Joe,she will sell more books in the first hour then you have since your crap book was released.I also find it funny when Meeka,who cant stop looking at herself in the camera,calls Palin dumb[in so many words].Here is a women who has the blankest stare on television,nothing going on behind her eyes and she has the nads to imply anyone else is stupid.
No wonder NO ONE watches their show for more then a couple of minutes a day..
-

So which part of his post is inaccurate or you are disagreeing with it?
Or did you just want to try to post some dumb pic for no reason?
-
Of course she is in the limelight etc.
HOWEVER, WHY DO YOU HATE THIS WOMAN SO MUCH WHO HAS NEVER DONE A DAMN THING TO YOU?

BS - he has devalued my dollar, he is bringing terrorists 9 miles down the road from me, he has tried to ram through energy taxes and a health care deform bill, he is triyng to give amnesty illegals, etc
-
So you hated Bush too. And clinton.
So what you are saying is that you hate the POTUS no matter who it is. If that is the case, what's the real nature of your gripe since you want palin to be Prez soooooo bad.

I was thrown out of FR for bashing Bush in 2005.

I agree with you on the media obsession with Palin
Think you're totally wrong when calling Obama's Asian tour an apology tour though.
-
Bitch gets crazier EVERY day. ;D
I won't call her the B word but otherwise I agree. This "I did the interview with Couric because I felt sorry for her" makes zero sense. ::)
-

Why else did he bow to the emperer when none is called for in official protocol? ?
-
I WONDER HOW MUCH "FACT CHECKING" THE MEDIA HAS DONE ON OBAMAS TWO BOOKS?The left went over and over the book and found 6 mistakes in Palins and they actually could be interpreted any way you want.As usual,the left tries but cant find a dam thing on her.

Palin vs. Obama -

I am going to rub this stimulus bill in the face of all the fools who cheered it on. If i am going to have a devalued dollar, theft of my tax dollars, etc, the least I should be entitled to is posting this graph a few times as a reminder of their folly.

Dollar lost 41% of its value against Euro from the day Bush took office to the day he left office. I'm sure it's sunk more in the last 10 months too, I'm too sick about it to look. Nuts.

I believe the dumbest was when Dan Quale corrected the spellimg of "potato", by adding an "e".... President Bush Sr. stated that "September 7th will always be remembered, this was supposed to be December 7th" Peal Harbor Day!" ....... Gore stated he invented the "Internet".... The list goes on....We have not even mentioned..."G. W. Bush!!! "Perhaps the dumbest President Ever!!!! Dems. & Reps. both have "stupid people"....."Remember the difference between a dem. & a Rep.".....Use an apple pie as an example!!! Dems. "let you smell the apple pie"!!!! Reps. "say what pie"!!!!
"You will never get a piece of the pie.......

I think a stimulus bill is the right way. I may be wrong. Or right. But it's great to get sound critical views on the 'recovery' the whole time.

Ha ha. You need to be reminded of this collosal failure because in a few months when UE goes to 12%, Barry Soetoro will be coming to us with another stimulus scheme.
