| 13. To be fair, that wasn't the only question she asked. |
|
And if it weren't for that interview, the glow around Palin might not have been tarnished and she possibly wouldn't have become such a liability for the McCain campaign.
It exposed how truly inept she was and that can't be overlooked. Compare her interview with Charlie Gibson's one and while his was slightly damaging, it wasn't nearly as damning.

I agree as well. Couric's skewering of Palin was a defining moment of the campaign. |

"What newspapers do you read?" They were hardly Cronkite-esque questions! |

That's what crossed my mind. Couric is never known for Cronkite questions though. |

The category was "Special Achievement for National Impact..." I'd say she won fairly. |

But her persistent follow-up, gentle but persistent, was very good. |

No, but think of how much more damaging to Palin that she wasn't even asked tough questions |

I'm no fan of Couric but the interview was hugely damaging to Palin. |

It helped expose Palin for the twit she is to the masses, so that's fine to me |
