Remember Obama’s “above my paygrade” non-answer? The media ignored that while attacking Palin’s “I read everything” answer. Its not that Obama doesn’t know, he just didn’t want to answer it. The media refuse to give Palin the benefit of the doubt and instantly assumes that she doesn’t know
In her book, Governor Palin said the reason she gave that answer about what she reads is that Katie had already pissed her off with those stupid gotcha questions and she had gotten her back up by then and didn’t want to answer anymore stupid questions. She said she shouldn’t have let Katie get to her but she was set up by one of the staff that the McCain camp had furnished for her. It was supposed to have been a 30 minute interview and it wound up to be several hours.
