THE SARAH AND KATIE SHOW


Watch CBS Videos Online

Any forum for political funnies needs a clip or two from the tragically entertaining Katie Couric interview with Sarah Palin. Or as I like to call it the gift that just kept giving… thank you CBS for chopping the interview into moronic sound bites and giving us a new “She said WHAT?” serving to chew on each day.

I love Katie’s condescending, smiling-through-clenched-teeth questioning of Sarah Palin… You just know that she is looking at her and thinking… How can someone be this annoyingly perky and out of her league? I am just going to keep opening my eyes wider and wider because I really just can’t believe that the McCain team thought that a perky lightweight with good approval ratings has what it takes to play in the big leagues… Shit! That sounds eerily familiar. I’ve been called perky. I had great ratings on the Today Show. And when CBS tapped me to anchor the Evening News, there were people who called me an unqualified lightweight…. Oh wow. Blink Katie Blink. You are not anything like this bobblehead sitting across from you who is miles away from the question you just asked her and fumbling for a complete sentence about god knows what. A serious journalist would not let her get away with this. I will make her answer my questions. I will fire follow up questions like torpedoes and knock that perky smile right off her face.

"Serious Katie" has actually been getting a great deal of attention from these interviews. Which makes me think, Palin just needs to find someone even perkier and more out of her league to dress down before election day to earn herself a little street cred of her own.




Perhaps if Nader’s running mate steps down and a cartoon mouse is allowed on the ballot, Sarah will have her chance!
