So tonight we will be treated to (subjected to) another evening of Katie Couric interviewing Sarah Palin.
I was listening to the radio on the way home from work a couple of days ago. A woman caller was telling the talk show host that our future leaders should be those folks who start out as PTA moms, work their way to city leadership . . . well, we know where this is going. Of course she used Sarah Palin as a shinning example of this type of new leadership in American. According to her, all we need is a little more Sarah Palin.
When the caller said that integrity was much more important than qualifications, the talk show host challanged her with the choice of having brain surgery performed by a neurosurgeon who was board certified vs her family doctor, the woman simply would not answer. Shades of things to come Thursday night, I suppose.
The caller flitted, she hemmed, she hawed, she changed the subject but bottom line she refused to acknowledge the obvious – of course qualifications matter. Surely the woman wouldn’t get on a jet flown by Sarah Palin; although she seems quite taken with the “Straight-Talk Express.”
Well . . . singing to the choir I suppose. Let’s hope that we can teach our children to have more common sense, then again to keep our economy on track someone does have to buy the Amish heaters of the world.
CBS News Exclusive: Palin Talks About Biden, Age
COLUMBUS, Ohio (CBS) ― CBS News anchor Katie Couric continues her series of interviews with Republican Vice Presidential nominee, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Tonight, Couric gets an exclusive behind-the-scenes visit with Palin on the campaign trail.
Sarah Palin: And I do look forward to Thursday night, debating Senator Joe Biden. We are going to talk about those new ideas, new energy for America. I am looking forward to meeting him too. I’ve never met him before, but I have been hearing about his senate speeches since I was in like second grade.
Couric: You made a funny comment. You said you’ve been listening to Joe Biden’s speeches since you were in second grade. Something like that?
Sarah Palin: Yea, its been since like ’72. Yea.
Couric: When you have a 72 year-old running mate is that kind of a risky thing to say? Insinuating that Joe Biden’s been around a while.
Sarah Palin: Oh no. It’s nothing negative at all. He has got a lot of experience. Just stating a fact there that we’ve been hearing his speeches for all these years. He’s got a tremendous amount of experience. And I am the new energy, the new face, the new ideas. And he’s got the experience based on the many many years in the senate. And the voters are going to have a choice there in what it is they want in these next four years.
