Do you think Katie Couric has any personal feelings of animosity against Palin at this point? Like, does she get up in the morning thinking "damn, I have to interview that f***ing moron from Alaska again today"? I absolutely love that she pins the chick down on specifics (or tries to, since Palin can't actually say anything specific ever), but I

It seemed to me that Katie Couric was trying to be as kind/gentle as possible, but that the extent of Palin's inability to form a coherent thought or say anything that is in any way meaningful was just too much.

That's the vibe I got too, but I'm wondering if that's not what people on the other side of the political spectrum see?

They see it as highly adversarial, no question. Where we see forgiving attempts to re-ask a easy question in the hopes of getting an responsive reply with some content, they see unfair hounding and ambushes.

i know someone who is very pro-McCain and pro-Palin i can say they do indeed view it as an attack. this person feels that the media should be helping her and not hurting her. i don't really get how you can be pro-Palin at this point...

Palin saved Couric. The talk about Couric was that she was soft-willed, lacking in experience, and out of her element with hard news-exactly the criticism of Palin. So Couric seized upon the opportunity to enhance her standing at the expense of a fellow woman in a man's world. Now Couric is a champion of truth, and Palin is, through her own efforts, a moron. It could not have turned out better for Couric.

Which sounds awful, but in fact turned out to be entirely awesome for everyone. (Except Palin.)
