A Pitbull Can't Read
Couric: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?
Palin: I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.
Couric: What, specifically?
Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.
Couric: Can you name a few?
Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, "Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?" Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.
Maybe that's her problem. All her life, people have been feeding her Creationist and Right-Wing propaganda. So I have a suggestion: Let's send her some media. Does a gift subscription to Utne Reader count as a tax-deductible campaign contribution? What publication would you like to put in front of Sarah Palin? She's spending a lot of time on the road these days. I'm sure she'd appreciate reading something other than Danielle Steele novels and Faux News talking points.
