Sarah Palin Makes Jake Tapper Wait For Heifer Meeting To Ask Questions
During his run as interim host of ABC’s This Week with…, Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper lobbied valiantly (but unsuccessfully) to get former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to appear on the program. While covering the shenanigans in Iowa this week, Tapper seized on the opportunity to finally get Palin to answer some “substantive questions,” but before Palin would face Tapper’s queries, she had priority business to take care of: “I’m gonna go meet a heifer first.”
Tapper’s amused, bemused reaction was priceless. “A heifer first?”
After a few minutes of milking the spotlight (setting the mooed?) at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Palin told Tapper that she still thought it was early enough in the process for new candidates to jump into the race, but that September would “practically speaking, have to be a drop dead timeline.”
She also expressed satisfaction with Thursday’s Republican debate. “They kinda took the gloves off,that was good.”
Tapper then asked her what she would do for the current economy, as president, and her answer was reminiscent of her response to Katie Couric’s “What do you read?” gotcha question. “I’d, uh, eliminate the uncertainty in the economy, and let our job creators know that…number one, we will cut taxes, we’ll cut corporate taxes, we’ll cut, uh…um…every tax that Congress would allow…”
Give Palin points for originality, though. Most politicians have campaign aides, flacks, and sometimes spouses to run interference with the press, but this has to be the first time I’ve heard of someone using livestock. All in all, though, this went a lot better than her last live encounter with produce.
Here’s the clip, from ABC News’ This Week:
