I can't dig through every interview Biden has ever given. I'm sure somebody asked him those sorts of questions towards the start of his political career, back when he was an unknown. Since he didn't flub the answers, nobody remembered them.

Well she said she did all this based on here family and what was best for Alaska. Can't we take her on her word until we can prove some other motive?

No, that would be stupid. Simply stupid, and naive.

Do you EVER take a politician's word without at least some skepticism?

Somehow I doubt this, at least in the case of the national media. There was a clear attempt at the "Gotcha" interview.

In any case, don't get me wrong - I don't think that Palin was incredibly quick on her feet during the interviews. But hell, in early interviews during his presidential run Obama wasn't very good either. He became better with practice. And he NEVER faced those types of questions, either.

Again, Couric did NOT ask Palin difficult questions. The ones she flubbed were very simple questions that even I could answer clearly.

The Gibson interview could be seen as a gotcha interview. But the Couric interviews, the ones that signalled Palin's decline, were comprised of one softball after another.

"What newspapers do you read?" is not a gotcha question. It's a question that Palin could have batted out of the park if she had two brain cells to rub together. It didn't have to be Foreign Affairs. It could have been the Wassila Home Snooze for crying out loud. Something. Anything. Do you really think Biden or Obama are so out of it as to be incapable of answering that question?

I am sure Biden and Obama (or McCain) have been caught saying stupid things, as have all politicians. But I highly doubt that any of them could produce such an interview in which they consistently give stupid, nonsensical answers to question after question.

No one's going to get an argument from me that Palin did a terrible job in the Couric interview.

However, even now I get a really odd vibe from Couric during that interview - maybe they were softballs, but some seemed condescendingly soft, like the newspaper question.

And Biden has done so well? The press is giving him a break. Or he is too stupid to criticize. Obama ain't no rocket scientist either...how many times has he walked into a door now? Twice.

A new Ford model?:har:
