      Palin: I Goofed Up to Keep SNL in Biz

      (Newser) - Sarah Palin's flubbed interviews were all part of her plan to safeguard America's Palin-lampooning industry, the candidate quipped at a Florida rally yesterday. Palin told supporters that the rocky moments in the Katie Couric interviews—including a failure to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with—came from annoyance with the "trivial" questions, reports the New York Daily News .

      Palin: 'Couric Clobbered Me'

      (Newser) - Sarah Palin has complained that she got "clobbered" in her interview with Katie Couric, reports the Huffington Post.

If you choose to try to pivot and go to another subject, you get clobbered for that, too." More »

      O'Reilly Berates Frank in On-Air Shouting Match

      (Newser) - Bill O’Reilly has called for the resignation of House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank, so it was a predictably tense situation when the Massachusetts Democrat appeared on his show last night. A remarkable shouting match ensued, even by O’Reilly’s standards. The Fox host quickly began screaming at Frank over comments that the situation at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would improve. More »

      Supreme Court Question Stumps Palin

      (Newser) - Sarah Palin drew a blank when Katie Couric asked her if she could name any Supreme Court decisions besides Roe vs Wade that she disagreed with, the Washington Post reports.

      Palin Elusive on Abortion in Couric Interview

      (Newser) - Katie Couric pressed Sarah Palin on controversial issues in an interview last night and got more personal than policy answers, Baltimore Sun TV critic David Zurawik writes. When asked if it should be illegal for a teenage victim of rape or incest to get an abortion, the candidate said several times that she is pro-life and "would counsel the person to choose life"—but added finally that she didn't think anyone should go to jail for having the procedure.

      Don't Pity This Woman

      (Newser) - The media seems to be lining up to feel sorry for poor Sarah Palin, forced to endure these deer-in-headlights interviews. “I guess I’m one cold dame,” Rebecca Traister writes in Salon , because “when you stage a train wreck of this magnitude…I don’t feel bad for you.” To her, Palin isn’t some wilting victim, she’s a governor who doesn’t care enough about her country “to cram effectively for the test.” More »

      Tina Kills Again as Sarah

      (Newser) - Comedian Tina Fey skewered Sarah Palin in a command reprise performance on Saturday Night Live last night. This time, Fey parodied the candidate's foibles during her interview with Katie Couric, reports Comedy Centric. In the opening sketch, Fey, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Palin, is stumped by a question from Amy Poehler’s Couric and asks “to use one of my lifelines—I’d like to phone a friend,” she says.

      McCain Disses Spain's PM, One Way or Another

      Palin Stumbled in Interview, But Made No Big Mistakes

      (Newser) - How did Sarah Palin do in her much-awaited interview with Charlie Gibson? Everyone’s got an opinion: Palin “looked like a student trying to bend prepared answers to fit unexpected questions,” offering statements far too general for Gibson’s liking, writes Alessandra Stanley in the New York Times. Kenneth Baer of Democracy: A Journal of Ideas agrees, saying Palin looked like a “political consultant’s dream, but a citizen’s nightmare,” thanks to her astonishing ability to “parrot back talking points.” More »

      Palin Flubs Bush Doctrine Question

      (Newser) - Sarah Palin’s interview with Charlie Gibson makes it fairly clear that she doesn't quite know what the Bush Doctrine is, writes Mark Silva in the Chicago Tribune . "But just as clearly, she supports it." When Gibson asked Palin in an interview if she agreed with the Bush Doctrine, she asked for clarification. Then she defined it as "His world view." More »

      Palin Raises Specter of War With Russia

      (Newser) - Sarah Palin talked tough on Russia in excerpts from her interview with Charlie Gibson aired last night, CNN reports. The candidate said she firmly backed NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia. Asked if that meant America would have to go to war if Russia invaded Georgia again, she said "Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help." More »
