Couric: You've said, quote, "John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business." Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more example of his leading the charge for more oversight?

Palin: I think that the example that you just cited, with his warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie - that, that's paramount. That's more than a heck of a lot of other senators and representatives did for us.

Couric: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.

Palin: He's also known as the maverick though, taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he's been talking about - the need to reform government.

Couric: But can you give me any other concrete examples? Because I know you've said Barack Obama is a lot of talk and no action. Can you give me any other examples in his 26 years of John McCain truly taking a stand on this?

Palin: I can give you examples of things that John McCain has done, that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his leadership abilities. And that is what America needs today.

Couric: I'm just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation.

Palin: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.

Brings to mind what I heard this morning at 7-11. Clerk to Bud deliveryman: I don't know anything, so don't ask.

I LMAO and said I was going to use that at work today, AND HERE IT IS.

I guess next time, if ever, she does an interview that involves issues other than make up & clothes, Rove will have to hook her up with a wire and walk her through it just like he had to do for Shrub in the 2004 debates.

It's funny watching someone who can only repeat canned mantras and soundbites actually have to wring something out of their empty skull.

"Duh....Maverick!!"

"Ummm...Drill Now!!"

"Err...Reform!"

"Letsee...uuh...Experience!"

"Nuke someone!"

"Nine Eleven!"

"Four more years!!...wait, no..."

"U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!!"

I am not sure who is preparing her for these things, but they are doing a lousy job.......Holy Shiat....put any of those politicos on the interogation mode and see how they do......

To be fair, I would love to see the other side grilled that hard.......I love the Tonight SHow piece where Leno said he had clip from McCains's POW torture then showed a bewildered Mccain being grilled by those Yentas on the view.....laughed my ass off.....

Wow, is this ever painfully awkward. She's been being briefed 24-7 for 3 weeks and still can't describe any of the concrete pros/cons on the foreclosure issue?

I, for one, can't WAIT for the VP debates!

She isn't even sure of her Running Mate's campaign platform.

Keeping that "internet racist" persona alive!

The bloom may be fading on the Alaska wild rose.

They hired her as McCain's personal cheerleader. Doing a good job until she had to open her mouth and say something she wasnt told.
