Any interview with Katie isn’t a good interview unless you’re the messiah Obama. Katie is one bitter rich hag when dealing with younger better looking women. Sarah was simply a victum of Katie the hag.

There are some facts that people need to know about the interview that were discussed after it happened by the network. 1) They admitted to cutting a lot of material out of the interview, it was cut from what a 3 hour interview to a 10 minute interview. 2) It was proven in video comparisons that she treated Sarah Palin differently than any Democrat or Liberal interview. 3) She was not prepared for the interview everyone agrees to that. But these facts have been proven and check for both of her poorer interviews.

Palin is borderline retarded. She’d the dumbest tart I’ve ever seen in politics, ever.

Highly Edited content   November 12th, 2009 - 8:42 pm

the video is highly edited and brings into question what the objective of the Oprah team is.

Palin’s microphone volume seems very high or else the sound was edited to enhance the treble quality of her laughter. Meanwhile Oprah’s voice sounds like a tenor baritone.

The editing of the video is so hard and heavy handed, it would make one wonder how sliced and diced Palin’s answer was.

But what would Palin expect, going into Oprah is like going into the lion’s den for her. You got to believe that Oprah, (Obama’s chief supporter and fellow member of the Reverend Wright, black liberation theology, Trinity United Church of Christ) would have a game plan to destroy Palin anyway she could. I would assume Palin went on Oprah because Oprah dangled a truck load of money in front of her. In the end Palin may have well sold out her political future for a quick pay day.

If anybody needs a good laugh and/or reminded what an IDIOT Sarah Palin is, youtube the Palin/Couric interviews and watch… it’s horrifying. She’s a dumb deer in headlights. Here’s a snippet:

COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this — to stay informed and to understand the world?

PALIN: I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media —

COURIC: But what ones specifically? I’m curious.

PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.

COURIC: Can you name any of them?

PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.

Realist   November 12th, 2009 - 9:29 pm

And this is Couric after the interview. I know it sounds impossible, but it’s real.

Several times during her exclusive interview with Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric asked Palin whether or not she was aware that the interviews were being taped, and that “other people would see them.” Palin reportedly told Couric that she was indeed aware, but then asked Couric what she meant by “broadcast.”

“I was concerned, after one of the times where she seemed to be answering a question I hadn’t asked,” Couric said. “It didn’t seem possible that she would intentionally answer the question that way, knowing people would see it. So I stopped the interview, and I said, ‘Governor, are you aware that this is the actual interview? What we’re doing right now? That this isn’t a rehearsal?’ She said she was aware. And I said, ‘Okay. Just so you know it’s being recorded and parts of it will be broadcast.’ And then she said, ‘You can’t blink, Katie, because we share a narrow maritime border with Russia and it has to be all about job creation.’ I didn’t understand it, but we just went on with the interview. I was pressed for time.”

“In one part of the interview, I asked her what newspapers and magazines she read before being asked to be John McCain’s running mate,” Couric said. “And she couldn’t name any. So again, I turned to the crew and I said, ‘Hold it, guys,’ and I went to the Governor privately and said, ‘Governor Palin, did you not understand the question? I’m asking you to name some newspapers or magazines you read. You can’t come up with any? I’m just trying to make sure you’re clear and to give you a fair shake here.’ And she said, ‘Okay. Nightline? Is that a magazine?’ I said, ‘No, that’s a television show.’ She said, ‘What about Lou Dobbs? Isn’t that a newspaper?’ And I said, ‘No, that’s a man. Lou Dobbs is a man.’ And there wasn’t much more I could do. I’m not a miracle worker.”

Geeez are these the worst clips of the interview they could find to put Sarah in a bad light??? Hours of video and this is all they could get out of it. Looks like they’re getting desperate.

happy   November 12th, 2009 - 10:17 pm

Sarah. Can’t wait to read your book.

O'Really?   November 12th, 2009 - 10:32 pm

Happy,
To bad she didn’t write it! This woman can barely read; writing is beyond her skill set.

MadMike   November 13th, 2009 - 1:02 am

Oprah’s such a sleazeball.

Larry   November 13th, 2009 - 1:15 am

Sarah Palin’s problem is that she hasn’t perfected the fine art of political weaseling. Politicians like Bill Clinton and Obama can talk to you for two hours, say absolutely nothing at all, and you walk away feeling like you’ve just been “enlightened” by an intellectual giant. By the time you realize you’ve been given a royal snowjob, he’s moved on to the next sucker. Palin talks for ten minutes and it’s like watching a really bad magician fumbling around with the cards and messing up the illusion. That’s probably due to a background of cutting the crap and saying what you mean. If she’s ever going to win the hearts and minds of Democrat voters, she’s going to have to learn to waffle and obfuscate along with the best of them.

Stating the Obvious - AMEN   November 13th, 2009 - 1:41 am

Speak the TRUTH BROTHER!

MadMike November 13th, 2009 – 1:02 am

Oprah’s such a sleazeball.

That and Oprah’s “fakeness” is soo sickening she’s hard to watch. Her and Palin are direct opposites.

Realist, you sure spend a lot of time trying to marginalize such a in your opinion “idiot”. Hmmm I wonder why? Could it be because BO is such a “epic fail”? Nah couldn’t be that…I guess you’re so concerned you’re afraid she will be bad for America, no couldn’t be that you voted for BO. Or is it you’re scared crapless of her beating your man in 2012. Tell me why you are here, I want to be enlightened by your wisdom.

sound man   November 13th, 2009 - 2:06 am

They heavily edited the sound on Mrs. Palin. Made her sound shrill. It was not even subtle.

john   November 13th, 2009 - 2:21 am

Good for oprah.
For awhile I thought she sank into some skin color quaqmire that blinded her from using her own skills, and understanding in determining the future of this country.
I think people are beginning to see serious cracks in the way politics is being played by the obamas…Why would oprah who made billions in this system want to be submissive to some Muslim? That’s what obama wants…A muslim state…He feels that’s where the money is…his people….
Its evil and dark…You don’t have to know whether they’re lying about what they say….You know they’re lying about it by what they don’t say. This administration is dubious at best…

obama doesn’t have the experience or the machine the position requires to do even a satisfactory job.

They wing everything…they are not very bright…

Obama is pissed because the non-black socio- political machine that put him into office had no “real” plans…
Had no idea that Obama would drop Israel like a hot rock…
Now they’ve spent all their wares and “no plan b.” They’re giving away an entire industry…MEDICINE…Do we realise the power of our medicine industry? the money it brings in first by scaring us into getting HEALTH INSURANCE….Because We’re not SAFE IF WE’RE NOT COVERED…Now they want to threaten us with it with prison if we don’t participate in their little shop of communist horrors…

HELLO ITS NOT SOCIALISM ITS NOT EVEN COMMUNISM…ITS A BANANA REPUBLIC COU DE’ TAH

The globe is leaving us economically and obama is more concerned with first-aid…

Hey look over there “its a real IMAGINED crisis….Don’t pay attention to what’s really going on in the world….

What a maroon.

His legacy will be a “broke” socialist country with free medical care, only after you go to prison for for not having free medical care….He’ll probabaly have reparations for anyone from africa as well…

I noticed he filled another cabint position with YET ANOTHER UNQUALIFIED african american this week…

What’s up with that?

Greg Zotta   November 13th, 2009 - 2:26 am

Sarah should not have gone on Oprah. Who if anyone is giving her advice? The following is what I posted prior to her going on Oprah.Sarah Palin, What are you thinking? Oprah is not your friend; She has been losing viewer ship since supporting Obama. Why would you want to help her out? Glen Beck and Mark Levin are selling their books without having to stoop to going on Oprah. If you truly want to be perceived as being a Rogue you need to reconsider going on the show. Sarah, you should not go on!Apparently, she did not listen.

Tubby   November 13th, 2009 - 3:15 am

Am I the only one, or does it look like Caribou Barbie has new dentures from Aspen dental??? The better to gum you with??

Helmo   November 13th, 2009 - 5:53 am

Realist: In your dreams moron. For one thing, I’m sure Palin isn’t interested in someone who is gay.

Paul Martin   November 13th, 2009 - 5:54 am

O’Really, and your BOY wrote his book, huh? Ummm, oh, well, umm, ah, umm, ummm, ummm.. Riiiigggghht!

claspur   November 13th, 2009 - 6:00 am

One thing I will say….giving Magpie some *Cred-is, she’s hotter than Rosie O’Platypus. (except for The Smell….down there, that is…)

maggiepoo   November 13th, 2009 - 7:00 am

You idiots posting unrealistic BS about Palin…are just jealous and in shock to realize that she would do a much better job than your manchild POTUS and his sidekick Gaffy Biden. Ha ha ha it’s realy pathetic. But you know what? The joke is on you. Because we’re stuck with these incompetants until 2012. If the country survives! We are the laughing stock of the world. Under Bush, they may not have liked us very well, but under this idiot, they believe we are WEAK. And that’s a very dangerous assumption……FOR US!

poetopoet   November 13th, 2009 - 8:13 am

Hi Realist, Tubby, Hung, O’Really, can you four get one life between you, please. Because you all are
barely above the brain dead zombies you portray.

If you are humans your hormones are altered, although you may be experimental behavioral monkeys.

Realist   November 13th, 2009 - 8:36 am

maggiepoo – yeah, I think you’re onto something there. Many world laughingstocks are awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

And there’s nothing “unrealistic” about anything at least that I posted about Palin. It’s all out there for your consumption, there, sweet ti-ts!

CON-servative Hypocrite   November 13th, 2009 - 8:51 am

“The Republican National Committee’s health insurance plan covers elective abortions for its employees, an option Republicans strongly oppose in health overhaul legislation that Democrats are trying to push through Congress …”

I have always believed that so-called conservative females have abortions, and not just of the medically-necessary variety. After all they have illicit sexual affairs, or want to limit the size of their families, same as anyone else. However, to learn that the RNC’s health plan actually covers ELECTIVE abortion? At the same time that they denounce reproductive rights coverage for every other woman?

What a gang of hypocritical, immoral, damned filthy dogs. May the everlasting wrath of the God they so disingenuously claim to serve rain down upon their heads. Permanently.

O'Really?   November 13th, 2009 - 9:50 am

Every day this Palin woman sounds dumber…but today she sounds like tomorrow.

ArghWhy?   November 13th, 2009 - 1:59 pm

Why Palin would bother with this woman astounds me. I don’t care how much $ she threw at Palin, I wouldn’t entertain or give Oprah the pleasure to increase her ratings, that’s all this is about.

Other   November 13th, 2009 - 2:02 pm

At least she didn’t say “Uh” 7 times in a row. Know who did?

O'Really?   November 13th, 2009 - 2:27 pm

Of course, nobody sounds quite as stupid as I do, well, except for WTF???, he is just as stupid as I am.

kmichaels   November 13th, 2009 - 2:33 pm

Arafat won the nobel prize too.
So did the second worst US president, Jimmy Carter,
so having the worst US president, Obama, get the
prize pretty much put it up as the most worthless
pointless counter-intutive prize on earth.

Realist   November 13th, 2009 - 2:43 pm

Hi, Karyn Michaels. Need a diaper change there little buddy? Or maybe you need held? I hear an awful lot of crying and whining coming from you. Need your mommy, son?

kmichaels   November 13th, 2009 - 3:59 pm

I like to post in other people’s names because I am a moron and haven’t enough brains to do anything else. I also think that Democrats are Nazis even though I have no idea what I am talking about.

Kek   November 13th, 2009 - 4:20 pm

Good grief…Oprah is getting fatter’n hell. Is she and Michelle O having a contest to see whose ass is can get bigger?!?

Rastus   November 14th, 2009 - 1:33 am

Opra is just plain trashy. I will hand it to her – she came out of trash and made something of herself. But the trash still comes out sometimes.

obomaserf   November 14th, 2009 - 9:22 am

I would reather have a half-wit in office over the muslim/commie terrorist we have now
