Let me get this straight, Camille. You personally find Sarah Palin to be quite lucid. Anyone who claims otherwise is merely exhibiting urban snobbishness. Your proof is a tortured re-write of one of her phrases.
Katie Couric, on the other hand, is stupid, ugly, dull and biased. You don’t like her voice. She dresses badly. She probably even smells bad. She carefully edits interviews to further her personal agenda.
Camille, Katie C.’s wit, personal politics, or fashion sense don’t matter if she presents informative interviews, and her Palin interview was very enlightening. Couric asked simple, clear, routine questions and Palin‘s responses seemed to be either white-noise blather, or simply off the mark. So says a nation full of English speakers - including prominent conservatives - who witnessed Palin‘s performance and decided then and there to vote against her. Imply bias all you want, Camille, but editing didn’t put those words in Palin’s mouth.
Your high opinion of Sarah Palin is still a mystery to me, but that‘s OK. On the other hand, I was very disappointed that you would stoop to attacking Katie Couric in such a childish manner. She may be all you claim (I doubt it, but it’s possible), but it is irrelevant. Your mocking attack comes across as a schoolyard defense of your frightfully indefensible Sarah. How sad.
What’s YOUR agenda, Camille?
