Forget Couric Interviewing Palin – How About Palin Interviewing Couric?
» 11 comments
Will Sarah Palin get to put her journalism degree to use in the near future?
In a Fox & Friends interview this morning, she joked about wanting to interview Katie Couric. We found out what CBS thinks of that idea.
Gretchen Carlson interviewed Palin in Florida earlier this week – making it five Fox News hosts who have interviewed the bestselling author – and part two of the interview aired today. There was a lightning round of questions, including this from Carlson: “Chances you’ll ever grant Katie Couric another interview?”
“I would like to interview her,” said Palin. “I’d like to know if she’s learned anything yet about Alaska. I want to know if she understands yet what we have to contribute up there in the state of Alaska.”
Well CBS might call her bluff. CBS News & Sports President Sean McManus tells Mediaite, “I will huddle with Katie on Monday and see if we’ll accept that offer.” We have a feeling that may be tongue-in-cheek, but that would make for some great TV – or maybe an upcoming tables-turned @KatieCouric.
Carlson also asked Palin the chances she’d run in 2012 with Glenn Beck? “I got a kick out of it, he probably thought it was just a hoot, too. I don’t know, we’ll see we’ll see,”
She also hinted at starting another party – the Common Sense Conservative party, if “the Republican party doesn’t get their act together.” Sounds a little like something another disenchanted Fox News host might like to get behind.
Here’s the interview that aired this morning:
• Note: We interviewed McManus about CBS News’ upcoming series, “Where America Stands.” That story is coming next week…

I’d agree that it’d make for an interesting @KatieCouric and it would certainly draw big numbers to the webcast, especially among those not likely to view it otherwise, but I wouldn’t look for it to happen because it’d be bad precedent.
Imagine, if everyone who has an issue with their CBS coverage wanted to turn the table. There’s no way they could let it continue and it could lead to a lot of Porter Barry/Bill Moyers-like exchanges.
The great Alaska dodge again, Sarah? Where did Katie ever impugn anything about Alaska? Nowhere.
She asked if you read anything; the unreported preface of the question being where your foreign policy perspective/knowledge came from. Your non answer told America everything we needed to know about how close your finger would or should ever get to the nuclear button.
Get over it.

The cute, perky, fluffy and ridiculous, Couric sure tried hard, to impugn Alaska’s Governor.
Palin interviewing Couric would be interesting, but highly unlikely. Couric wouldn’t have the courage, for fear her toilet would be flushed by Palin.
my God.. go and challenge Couric! I bet this is all just talk.. I hope Palin do it.. let’s see if she can battle Couric’s intelligence.. Palin act like a loser.. she’s using Couric’s name to gain attention
sameasiteneverwas said,
let’s see if she can battle Couric’s intelligence..
The “perky one” has daggers for anything or anyone outside her closed liberal infested mind. Do not confuse that with intelligence.
Palin needs to start that damn third-party. Please. PLEASE START THAT PARTY RIGHT NOW!
Don’t really know why Couric would be asked questions about Alaska and that would make it ‘even’ somehow in Palin’s miniscule mind — but I’m betting Couric knows more about Alaska than Palin does.
Bill Adkins says….but I’m betting Couric knows more about Alaska than Palin does.
If the interview would be anything like the one done before the election, important issues and information about Alaska wouldn’t need to be addressed. What the people “read” there seems to be the most pressing.
marigrace (Trig Palin),
What interview were you watching? Maybe you need to refresh your memory with a video and transcript:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRkWebP2Q0Y&feature=related
COURIC:
“When it comes to establishing your world view, I was curioous, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this, to stay informed, to understand world issues,”
PALIN:
“I’ve read most of them, with a great appreciation for the press, for the media, (something incoherent)”
COURIC:
“I mean specifically, what do you read”
PALIN:
“Ummmm, ahhhh, all of them, any of them, that ahhh have been in front of me for all these years,”
COURIC:
“All of them?”
PALIN:
“I have a vast variety of sources, where we get our news, Alaska isn’t a foreign country like its been suggested where you go ‘wow how do you keep in touch with the rest of what Washington DC may be doing when you look up at Alaska, beleive me Alaska is the microcosm of the world.”
There was a time in this country that being that dumb was embarrassing. Palin is proof that we have moved to a point where its celebrated not to be intelligent or well-educated. While this was a clue a her ignorance, her bold stupidity was revealed when she mouthed off about the supreme court and then couldn’t name one case she disagreed with them on.
Listen, I understand you may be working with a box of rocks, but, the leaders of our country need more than stones up there. This use to be the best country on the planet, thanks the Palins, Becks, Hannitys and Limbaughs we have fallen to 16th. However, that’s just fine with neocons as long as they can field a big army.
@eamitch430: She didn’t even name the Anchorage Daily News or the Wasilla Frontiersman.
