I finally got to listen to the Couric interviews of Sarah Palin. I am not sure who I thought was worse. BOTH used cliches. Both seemed to come in with preconditioned notions of reality. It is not hard to understand why Couric has been such a downer for CBS news. Couric seems to believe that stringing together a bunch of cliches in a way to embarrass a candidate is a serious interview. That is baloney.
But I would certainly prefer a lot more substance in Palin's responses.
On one issue in particular I was particularly struck about Couric. She asked something to the effect "other than the questions raised about Fannie and Freddie what has John McCain done to help solve this issue?" Palin responded that the Fannie and Freddie questions came at a time when no one else was raising an issue. She could also have asked whether Obama or Biden had raised any substantive proposals on this issue before it became news. (The answer is NO)
