Can't believe nobody posted about the latest Couric interview yet.

[LiberalHeart]

Seeing Palin and Biden answer the same questions was nothing short of stunning.

[Faygo Kid]

1. It's been posted. Damn, though, I missed it.

[LiberalHeart]

3. I still haven't seen any posts that were after the fact.

Palin was floundering. Truly pathetic.

[hisownpetard]

2. When was it on??

[LiberalHeart]

4. It was on here (NW Ohio) in the 6:30 newscast.

[Disturbed]

Isn't it stupid for Gov. Palin to keep talking to Curic?

Every time she does so Palin it is counter productive for her. Is she that stupid?

[LiberalHeart]

9. Some of what we've seen was done on the same day, but broadcast separately.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

5. Did they air Couric asking her about Supreme Court decisions?

[LiberalHeart]

7. Yep.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. lol! After Roe v Wade, was her silence deafening???

[LiberalHeart]

13. It was the non-silence that was great: She is all for a woman's right to privacy....

So Couric points out to her that's the whole basis for Roe v Wade, and then Sarah rattles on about how states should decide the issue for themselves. Whatever, Sarah.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. lol!

22. transcript

Katie Couric: Why do you think Roe v. Wade was a good decision?

Joe Biden: Because it's as close to a consensus that can exist in a society as heterogeneous as ours. What does it say? It says in the first three months that decision should be left to the woman. And the second three months, where Roe v. Wade says, well then the state, the government has a role, along with the women's health, they have a right to have some impact on that. And the third three months they say the weight of the government's input is on the fetus being carried.

And so that's sort of reflected as close as anybody is ever going to get in this heterogeneous, this multicultural society of religious people as to some sort of, not consensus, but as close it gets.

I think the liberty clause of the 14th Amendment … offers a right to privacy. Now that's one of the big debates that I have with my conservative scholar friends, that they say, you know, unless a right is enumerated - unless it's actually, unless uses the word "privacy" in the Constitution - then no such "constitutional right" exists. Well, I think people have an inherent right.

===================================

Couric Why, in your view, is Roe v. Wade a bad decision?

Sarah Palin: I think it should be a states' issue not a federal government-mandated, mandating yes or no on such an important issue. I'm, in that sense, a federalist, where I believe that states should have more say in the laws of their lands and individual areas. Now, foundationally, also, though, it's no secret that I'm pro-life that I believe in a culture of life is very important for this country. Personally that's what I would like to see, um, further embraced by America.

Couric: Do you think there's an inherent right to privacy in the Constitution?

Palin: I do. Yeah, I do.

Couric: The cornerstone of Roe v. Wade.

Palin: I do. And I believe that individual states can best handle what the people within the different constituencies in the 50 states would like to see their will ushered in an issue like that.

Couric: What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?

Palin: Well, let's see. There's, of course in the great history of America there have been rulings, that's never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but …

Couric: Can you think of any?

Palin: Well, I could think of … any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with. But, you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a vice president, if I'm so privileged to serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today.

23. Thanks! I've seen the video a few times now! I'm a glutton for punishment. :)

[Marr]

6. Is this the one where she can't name a single magazine or newspaper

that she reads?

That really blew me away. She seemed exactly like that beauty pageant contestant from South Carolina a few months back-- the one with the ridiculous 'US Americans' answer. Stunningly stupid.

[LiberalHeart]

8. Nope, that's yesterday's interview.

She and Biden will be on again tomorrow night, being asked the same questions. It's a lead up to the debate.

[ismnotwasm]

17. That one made me sick

She could have just said I don't read magazines, I browse the internet, I read government reports, anything. Instead she said "any of them" or "all of them" or some such bullshit. Which means she flat out lied for no particular reason.

[hisownpetard]

19. But, c'mon, it's not like she was a Journalism major, or anything. Oh, wait...

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

11. Just found another DU discussion re this ... link ...

[chelsea0011]

12. Name another decision bedsides Roe v Wade that you disagree with asks Couric to Palin.

Well, of course there are past decisions that were bad and uh there was Roe v Wade. It was hilarious again. Couric asks Biden the same question and Biden answers the question about a decision he was involved with. LOL

[wryter2000]

15. I'm looking forward to it

It's only 4:10 here on the Left Coast.

[No Passaran]

18. Thanks. I found the transcript but was waiting for video. n/t

[demmiblue]

20. Tomorrow they will be commenting on

what is the best/worst thing Cheney has done as VP.

That should prove to be interesting!

[beac]

24. Rumor has it that Caribou Barbie says,

"Shooting his friend in the face." I SO hope it's true! :rofl:

[Toucano]

21. Six pack Palin's Jefferson quote.

I haven't found a reference to Jefferson saying, "Never underestimate the wisdom of the people."

Anyone else find it?
