Katie Couric discussed her infamous interview with Sarah Palin Wednesday night on the "Late Show with David Letterman." Couric took Letterman inside the process of scheduling Palin's interviews — the campaign actually rushed an interview because "they didn't want a week to go by without hearing anything from Governor Palin," as Couric put it — and said the campaign was "very generous" and gave her "tremendous access" to Palin.

Couric said that Palin may have gotten tripped up because she was not prepared to answer more general questions during their interview following her visit to the UN.

"I started by asking her who most impressed her as Vice President and why, what was the best and worst things Dick Cheney had done as Vice President, why was Roe v. Wade an ill-conceived or a bad Supreme Court decision," Couric told Letterman. "And I think she really hadn't anticipated those kinds of questions, so I think it might've thrown her off a bit. And then we got into foreign policy — because, after all, she was at the UN meeting with world leaders — and clearly she was struggling with some of those answers."

While Couric did note that, in Palin's defense, they were not easy questions to answer, Letterman reminded her that the "What newspapers and magazines do you read?" question was an easy one that Palin blew. Couric explained how it came about and said that she disagrees with the way Palin is characterizing the question in post-election interviews.

"We we doing one of these walk-and-talks, it was a casual part of the interview, and I just said, 'I'm curious, what do you read? What has helped you shape your worldview? What do you read to stay informed?'" Couric explained.

"A good question but an easy question," Letterman said.

"It was just really something I was curious about," Couric said, "and I'm not sure whether she was afraid to offend certain people, if she would offend conservatives by saying she read the New York Times....Even in the post-election interviews, Dave, that she's done, nobody's really asked her, 'Why didn't you answer that question?' She claims that I said, 'What do you read up there in Alaska?' as if people in Alaska don't read or don't have access to reading materials. I never said that. I'm aware people in Alaska have access."

Couric also shared one question she asked both Palin and Biden that didn't air — what they missed most on the campaign trail. Palin missed running every day, while Biden missed being Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Heheh, Couric is trying to be modest and polite. I have a feeling that what she really wants to say is; Palin is a dumb cunt.

I remember the Palin interviews in '08, it was pure unscripted comedic entertainment, and I couldn't wait to turn on the evening news just to see how much dumber Palin was getting.

@Rwings73 your obsession with vaginas truly shows you must have a floppy manhood you wish to revive.

@Rwings73 Go die stupid cunt, you need torturing, you would vote for palin becuase you have no education and you cant handle not knowing what is going on around you, just like palin. But that's not your fault, you can't blame a retarded dumb fucking idiot for not understanding. You have no clue about politics so shut the fuck up, your only defense is to call her fat? ummmm she's not fat, and i'm guessing your american? Fattest people on earth? LOL

Holder’s war on voter-ID laws is racially motivated

Daily Caller December 30, 2011 Ken Blackwell & Ken Klukowski

DOJ has launched an all-out war on voter-ID laws and other measures designed to safeguard the electoral process. Although Holder’s actions are purportedly to prevent African-Americans from being disenfranchised, the reality is that they serve the crass political purpose of ensuring that Holder’s boss gets re-elected next year...by voter fraud.

katie couric is a short, fat little bitch libtard cunt!

[Rwings73]

@SirDanOfHell Typical libtard douche bag. You are a great example of a loser who, as a child was given a trophy for just participating. You lost, but you still got a little trophy. Now little dumb fuck special you enters the real world, and you got your little pathetic ass kicked. Being a loser as a child, as an adult loser you still expect some consolation for being a loser. No trophies here dumb fuck. Welcome to the real world. Get an education and a job that pays well. Occutard fuck!

@Rwings73 Keep dreaming, pig fucker. You're angry because you're afraid, and you're afraid because, like Palin, you don't understand jackshit about the real world.
