Eh. “What do you read?” is a standard soft-ball question.
Couric was hoping Palin would reply: “Well I just finished the Turner Diaries and am now beginning to real all of the Uncle Fester manuals...”
It's used as a trip-up question in this case.
IMHO
Not really. Been in politics for decades and never heard it asked in a serious interview.
What Sarah should have replied was: “Well, it depends on the mood I’m in. When I’m really slumming it, I pick up the tabloids and read about your slutting around with younger guys you pick up at singles bars. Isn’t that why they call you Couric the Cougar?”
well i didn’t think there was any thing wrong with her answer. So she didn’t want to be specific, to not offend or leave out anyone. Instead her non-specific answer was used against her
Obama give of non-specific answer all the time, but you never hear the media jump to the conclusion that he doesn’t know. He’s just avoiding or that he’s being smart by not being specific.
When Sarah get non-specific, she’s dumb. Its totally double standard
Romney is a soft-ball.
