McCain and Palin just destroyed Couric!

[Thomas Jackson]

Did anyone just see that CBS interview? I don't know if the video is up online yet, but Couric just got destroyed by McCain and Palin.

I thought that poor little Katie was going to cry.

[ChrisFromNJ]

I saw it, and John McCain is going to have a hard time shaking off accusations of being unstable with those kinds of interviews.

I don't think that that's quite what you meant to write

[Thomas Jackson]

Its long past time that McCain starts going after the media head on.

These pathetic media pukes are not the "4th branch of government" that they think they are.

[Alcon]

Any link yet?

I'd trust you, but if everything you said were true, McCain would be up like ten points, so...I don't trust you.  We can still be friends

[Thomas Jackson]

I'll post the video as soon as it's available.

ive always thought couric wasnt up to the task of serious journalism.

she should have her own little daytime show, where she can interview semi-famous people and teach us all how to clean our sink with vinegar.

The biggest mistake of John McCain's campaign, IMO, has been his war on the media. They were his base, they were the main reason why he built his reputation of being a maverick. When it is all said and done, that might be his campaign's worst mistake. Burning your bridges with the media is never a smart thing; just ask Al Gore in 2000.

Katie Couric's interviews > Sean Hannity's interviews.

do you mistake me for the president of the sean hannity's fan club?

the big difference between hannity and couric is that one of them actually pretends to be a journalist...the other is a well compensated entertainer.

[daboese]

How can you destroy someone who is interviewing you?

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

do you mistake me for the president of the sean hannity's fan club?

LOL!

McCain can scream and yell and bitch and whine and moan to and about the media as much as he wants.  At the end of the day, the media aren't the ones with an election to lose.

[Eraserhead]

How can you destroy someone who is interviewing you?

Good question and why, exactly, would you want to do this? It isn't a debate.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I wonder if Ghostmonkey is under the impression that Democrats like Couric. She's just some useless hack.

Video not up yet, here is the Transcript:
___________________________________________

(CBS) Sen. John McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin were in Ohio Monday for a campaign rally. In their first joint interview, CBS News anchor Katie Couric asked them about a statement Palin made the other day, because it didn't seem to square with her McCain's policies in the war on terror in Pakistan. What follows is a partial transcript of the interview.

Katie Couric: Over the weekend, Gov. Palin, you said the U.S. should absolutely launch cross-border attacks from Afghanistan into Pakistan to, quote, "stop the terrorists from coming any further in." Now, that's almost the exact position that Barack Obama has taken and that you, Sen. McCain, have criticized as something you do not say out loud. So, Gov. Palin, are you two on the same page on this?

Sarah Palin: We had a great discussion with President Zardari as we talked about what it is that America can and should be doing together to make sure that the terrorists do not cross borders and do not ultimately put themselves in a position of attacking America again or her allies. And we will do what we have to do to secure the United States of America and her allies.

Couric: Is that something you shouldn't say out loud, Sen. McCain?

John McCain: Of course not. But, look, I understand this day and age of "gotcha" journalism. Is that a pizza place? In a conversation with someone who you didn't hear … the question very well, you don't know the context of the conversation, grab a phrase. Gov. Palin and I agree that you don't announce that you're going to attack another country …

Couric: Are you sorry you said it?

McCain: … and the fact …

Couric: Governor?

McCain: Wait a minute. Before you say, "is she sorry she said it," this was a "gotcha" sound bite that, look …

Couric: It wasn't a "gotcha." She was talking to a voter.

McCain: No, she was in a conversation with a group of people and talking back and forth. And … I'll let Gov. Palin speak for herself.

Palin: Well, it … in fact, you're absolutely right on. In the context, this was a voter, a constituent, hollering out a question from across an area asking, "What are you gonna do about Pakistan? You better have an answer to Pakistan." I said we're gonna do what we have to do to protect the United States of America.

Couric: But you were pretty specific about what you wanted to do, cross-border …

Palin: Well, as Sen. McCain is suggesting here, also, never would our administration get out there and show our cards to terrorists, in this case, to enemies and let them know what the game plan was, not when that could ultimately adversely affect a plan to keep America secure.

Couric: What did you learn from that experience?

Palin: That this is all about "gotcha" journalism. A lot of it is. But that's okay, too.

Couric: Gov. Palin, since our last interview, you've gotten a lot of flak. Some Republicans have said you're not prepared; you're not ready for prime-time. People have questioned your readiness since that interview. And I'm curious …

Palin: Yeah.

Couric: … to hear your reaction.

Palin: Well, not only am I ready, but willing and able to serve as vice-president with Sen. McCain if Americans so bless us and privilege us with the opportunity of serving them, ready with my executive experience as a city mayor and manager, as a governor, as a commissioner, a regulator of oil and gas.

McCain: This is not the first time that I've seen a governor being questioned by some quote, "expert." I remember that Ronald Reagan was a "cowboy." President Clinton was a governor of a very small state that had "no experience" either. (laughter) I remember how easy it was gonna be for Bush I to defeat him. I still recall, whoops, that one. But the point is I've seen underestimation before. I'm very proud of the excitement that Gov. Palin has ignited with our party and around this country. It is a … level of excitement and enthusiasm, frankly, that I haven't seen before. And I'd like to attribute it to me. But the fact is that she has done incredible job. And I'm so proud of the work that she's doing.

[ChrisFromNJ]

That's not ownage, nor is it "destroying" somebody.

It looks like two bitter running mates who just saw their latest internal polling.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Oh, yeah, no one in the media has ever asked Obama a tough question.

You must not have been watching the same interview. Katie was about to cry. She couldn't believe that McCain and Palin would dare interrupt her questions or call her out on her "gotcha" journalism.
