For obvious reasons, I only just got around today to watching Katie Couric's infamous first interview with Sarah Palin. To say I was flabbergasted would be an understatement. God almighty...how in the hell has this woman ended up where she is?!
The bit where she talked "foreign policy" was the most insane. I actually sat there with my mouth hanging open in shock, as she wittered on about Israel, Iran, Good Guys/Bad Guys, and how she can see Russia from her house (or something). One might possibly excuse her lack of eloquence; not everyone has the gift of the gab (though it's certainly a skill that can be learned). But how is it possible that someone so utterly uninformed and ill-prepared is poised to potentially become the Vice-President of the United States? It makes me sad and embarassed for women in politics, to see this nim-nut elevated to such a lofty height. There's also no doubt that her presence on the Republican ticket makes America look reeeeally bad (not that your average Republican voter gives a rat's arse about what the rest of the world thinks, though).
Katie Couric herself looked stunned at Palin's inane answers to her questions. Hell, based on this interview, Palin would have a hard time managing a question-and-answer segment in a beauty pageant. I think I'll be tuning in to the Vice-Presidential debate on Thursday, just to watch the spectacle; Joe Biden will doubtless wipe the floor with her.
