Palin's spokeswoman just said on MSNBC, "She was jumping ahead of Couric's Question"

[justiceischeap]

about the paper. She didn't want to offend any paper out there and she's so savvy that she knew how to avoid getting Couric to ask her follow up questions about why she doesn't read certain papers.

[polichick]

1. Yeah, then she ran off a list of newspapers to try to cover. Jeeze.

[Oceansaway]

2. she's full of shit too...n/t...

[bdamomma]

3. how can she read "all of them"

doesn't she have a family to take care of???

[old guy]

18. Not to mention the State of Alaska.

[firedupdem]

4. okay...right n/t

[MadBadger]

5. She's actually going out and saying that Palin's been dodging questions.

[BrklynLiberal]

6. It is amazing how stupid these people think the rest of us are..

[lapfog_1]

7. The true answer is that she didn't want to fess up about the papers that she DOES read.

Which, rumor has it, is the journal of the John Birch Society.

I shit you not.

[Midlodemocrat]

8. Just how stupid do they think we are?

I can't think of one person who reads every single paper every single day, short of a clipping service.

And, really. She didn't want to 'offend' any paper out there? Is she kidding? She wouldn't want to take a cheap shot at the NY Times?

Bullshit.

[GAtomboy]

9. They never cease to amaze me

I mean are you kidding me?!?!? This is the reason now? "Well you see she's not really answering because she's jumping ahead and anticipating OTHER questions she doesnt want to have to answer."

FUCKING JOKE

[SuperTrouper]

10. Such a young pretty woman and so full of shit already..what a shame..

:puke:

[ErinBerin84]

11. that must have been included in the talking points this morning,

Elizabeth Hasslebeck said on the View that she did not name any because she is so important that it would have been seen as an "endorsement" of a paper...lol.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. So, the so called pitbull is afraid of hurting some poor newpaper's feelings?????!!! nt

[secondwind]

13. they pulled this s*** with Bush also, saying that his mind was so fast, that

his mouth was always behind!!!

:rofl:

Seriously, though, I don't like this HAIR ALL DOWN SHIT, and the BANDAGED HAND.

Who is going to call her on that?

[Howardx]

14. all this time to think of a decent reason

and they went with that?

[BattyDem]

15. She's so full of shit!

She could have answered the question by saying that she reads many different newspapers and mention a couple of names. If Couric did follow up with a "why don't you read certain papers" question, she simply could have said, "I do read them. I told you, I get my news from a variety of sources. I named a few, but it would be impossible for me to name them all."

[proud patriot]

16. she went on to use thaty same excuse for the USSC questions too

x(

[RichGirl]

17. That's ridiculous.

If Katie had followed up with...why don't you read________. Palin could have said: "I read that too, but you only asked for one example."
