Transcript Of Palin - Couric Interview

Katie Couric - Thank you for being here, Governor Palin.

Sarah Palin - I'm all about being here.

Katie Couric - Are you and John McCain in favor of this $700 billion bailout?

Sarah Palin - I'm totally in favor of supporting the troops. My son is a troop.

Katie Couric - Right. But I'm asking about the bailout proposal for Wall Street.

Sarah Palin - You sure are. You betcha.

Katie Couric - So are you in favor of it?

Sarah Palin - Reform needs to be in the Wall Street. Not just sittin' on the curb of Wall Street. We need it in the middle of the street. Like a dead squirrel.

Katie Couric - Can we afford to give tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans right now?

Sarah Palin - Well, what do you mean by tax breaks? Like on a car? Those kinds of breaks?

Katie Couric - Less taxes.

Sarah Palin - You know, I'm really into the Bush doctrine. I'm like, supporting it.

Katie Couric - In the event that something were to happen to John McCain, are you ready to step in and be president?

Sarah Palin - I have the steadiness to be steady. I'm getting in there and really doing it. Not just not doing it. I'm not going to be like 'hey, presidency, talk to the hand.'

Katie Couric - But are you ready to become the leader of the free world?

Sarah Palin - Totally. I will totally lead the world. Any world. I will lead Mars or whatever too if those guys need a world president. Or just a Mars president. I took on the ole' boys club in Alaska and I can take it on in Mars.

Katie Couric - But I'm not asking about being president of Mars.

Sarah Palin - But I am answering about being president of Mars because a president person needs to be prepared for anything. I like to reform.

Katie Couric - I understand you only just got a passport last year.

Sarah Palin - You know, I was in Idaho for my friend Amber's wedding a ways back. Lemme tell you, Katie. We American taxpayers have a lot more in common with other countries than we think. There were Budweiser beers cans at that Idaho wedding. And Hot Pockets too. Those pizza flavored ones. Yummy.

Katie Couric - Wait, are you saying that Idaho is another country?

Sarah Palin - I'm saying they have Hot Pockets just like us. Pizza ones even. It's called 'the globalization.'

Katie Couric - But let me get this straight because I think it's important. Is Idaho another country?

Sarah Palin - You know, I'm not going to get into that right now. I think American men and women and men are focused on solutions. Not what's a country or what's not a country. Some places aren't countries. They're just things. And that's ok. Do you know the difference between a country and a thing?

Katie Couric - I'm not sure I do.

Sarah Palin - Hot Pockets.

Katie Couric - And finally, where will you and John McCain take this country?

Sarah Palin - We are going to take it somewhere really nice. A nice place where all American taxpayer people will totally be like 'hey, hello, this is really nice.'" And then we'll take it from that really nice place and over to a nicer place, a super duper nice one. More super duper nice than my cousin Marge even. And the American taxpayer people will be like 'hey, this is a super duper nice place. More than Marge even.'" Reform.

Katie Couric - Thank you, Governor.

Healthy countries eat Lean Pockets, unlike Idaho.

You know it's funny really.

Tina Fey and the left did more to 'help' Sarah Palin than they ever did to hinder her.

She really shouldn't be mad about it, because they made her a superstar.

She honestly did very little to help herself.

I'd like to know which alternate reality you live in.

The real one?

Please. Sarah Palin was NOTHING and a complete nobody to the rest of the country. Because of the attacks on her, it made people interested in learning who she is and helped many support her, who otherwise knew nothing.

Do you really think being a VP candidate is what did it? The only thing that did was made people ask: Who the hell is Sarah Palin?

The interview with Couric made her look like an idiot. Thats all it did for her!

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

Does my heart good to see Democrats focusing on what an unemployed hockey mom is saying, instead of why they are losing elections they haven't lost for more than 50 years. Press on.

On the other hand, I am glad to see the Republicans are not haning n every word of, for example, John Edwards. I will worry when I see JustaShooter or Danno posting transcripts from John Edwards interviews from his campaign in 2008. That would be really scarey.

This? This does my heart good.

eh, the 'actual' interview was hit and miss. It also made Katie look like a jackass at the same time as well. Katie wasn't getting the answers she wanted, so she kept fishing/pushing until she got something more.

Not many people actually say that interview anyway, except for the replays that keep getting played of Katie hounding her on the abortion question....

I'm simply saying, Palin would not be as popular and would not of had the book sales she's having if it weren't for the attacks on her. Most of the attacks were over done because as I said, NO ONE knew anything about her and they were going to use whatever they could use on her to discredit her as quickly as possible.

I don't support the woman in any way or fashion, but many people do simply because the left lambasts her. Sometimes that's enough....

Posting it again 2 years later makes the OP look like an idiot. Given that the OP is a liberal and Obama and helath care supporter, this is fine with me.

Let's see, speaking of alternative realities, when Sarah Plain gave this interview...

1. A democrat was governor of Virginia

2. A democrat was governor of New Jersey

3. Ted kennedy was a Senator from Mass.

4. we were all hoping for change

Actually, I like THIS reality just fine. You?

It's not that interview. It's satire. Read.

As sual the Democrats attacks are mis-focused and do more good than harm for Republicans. True that. Sarah Plain was unknown even when she was a Governor, now she is a household name and STILL being talked after resigning and becoming unemployed. Do not try to stop them.

Not only is it good for Republicans, it distracts them from real issues. Always be happy to have a dumb@ss for an opponent.
