Couric: Palin Needs to 'Learn About Governing'

Share

(Newser) – Katie Couric didn't want to diss Sarah Palin when grilled by a New York Post reporter, but she did let slip that the Alaska governor "should keep her head down and learn about governing." Couric, whose interview with Palin during the presidential campaign opened up the candidate to a deluge of criticism, added—too late—that she "didn't want to judge."

Most potent GOP candidate in 2012? She's a HASBEEN pure and simple. Quit dreaming, the bitch is an airhead, America spoke. Let sleeping dogs ly.

Sache to JonB: Couric knows how to anchor. Unfortunately, Palin showed Americans,she wasn't ready to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Pallin was ill prepared for the position she sought. America saw, listened , and voted. Reply
