SJReidhead over at the Pink Flamingo notes why Sarah Palin came off so incoherent in those CBS News interviews with Katie Colic - Palin’s responses where edited to make her appear to stumble:

“…(2:58) Couric: What, specifically, in your view, could be done to convince the new government in Pakistan to take a harder, tougher line against terrorists in that country?

Palin: At a time when new leadership comes in, that is the opportunity to forge better, tighter, more productive relationships and that’s what we’ll take advantage of with new leadership in the US and in Pakistan. And I’m sure that President Zardari, too, will agree with us as we commit to the support that Pakistan needs, that other nations in the region need, in order to win this war on terrorism. (3:32)

(5:39) Couric: But what lessons do you think you have learned as you’ve watched this unfold in terms of implementing the democracy and the challenges inherent in that goal?

Palin: Well, one is that America cannot be counted on to do this solely, to be the savior of every other nation, but we need friends and we need allies and we need this nation-building effort and we need to forge new alliances, and that is what a new election will provide opportunity to do.

And dolts like Kathleen Parker from NRO fell for the deception. Americans need to demand CBS offer the ENTIRE unedited interview on their website - now. We can then decide for ourselves what was important to hear from Sarah Palin.

I don’t understand why the campaign doesn’t have a full unedited tape so they can debunk this stuff.

***gasp*** say it ain’t so.

Just once I wish these nitwits would do their job and actually let the American people decide.

And they wonder why Sarah Palin doesn’t trust them to give them unfettered access!!!!

[goldstategop]

I agree. But Sarah will be in her natural element Thursday night. The MSM has made her look terrible but they have also helped to lower expectations about her in Thursday's upcoming debate. They're both arrogant and stupid in their contemptuous dismissal of the woman.

One of my happiest days was the day I sold my CBS stock.

The McCain campaign are idiots if they let this shit happen. IF true its unbelievable, but no real way to do anything about it unless you want to do a full assault on the media as Obama stooges.

[101voodoo]

It would be helpful if you provided the real and edited quotes made by Palin. Otherwise it is not possible to know what CBS has done.

[navyguy]

I’m not surprised. It’s CBS... Fake but Accurate.

[devere]

McCain calls Obama naive, and the same word applies to McCain’s view of the MSM. He keeps on throwing Sarah Palin to the liberals MSM wolves, as though something good might come out of it. This is very damaging incompetence in the McCain campaign.

[major-pelham]

McCain is only even in the electoral game becasue of Palin - he a) better start defending her against stuff like this and b) he better start using her (a lot) before they are so far behind even she can’t help anymore

MSM = arrogant and stupid

Sarah Palin = Victorious and Smart

[Osage Orange]

Agreed.

At what point in time....will the pubbies ever "get" that the MSM / DBM is going to sucker them, sand bag them, and lie about them..everyday, all day!!

[Lancey Howard]

I don’t understand why the campaign doesn’t have a full unedited tape so they can debunk this stuff.

I don't understand why McCain insists on sending Palin into these ambushes in the first place. The time is long past due to simply tell these Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms to go play in the street.

[dr_who]

Boohoo this is so unfair. Look, are you people going to be harping about this five years from now? This is election year politics, and we know full well that the press is campaigning day and night for Obama and that other creep Biden. Sarah Palin will get in front of a live camera, no editing, during the VP debates. It’s up to her to take control of the situation.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Biden will be his usual gaffing, arrogant self in the debates. And the underdog most always wins the first debate and turns a lot of heads in their favor.

People will really notice and be surprised that Sarah is not who the MSM has said she was. This will be to our advantage.

[goldstategop]

I see it all very differently. Every four years Republicans face a hostile media environment. They nominate a candidate the media naturally dislikes and whom it moves to ruthlessly destroy. Every November, after the dust has settled, the Republican has won the election. The media might be able to help Barry but Barry still has to close the sale with the American people. I think in the face of this environment, even given that McCain is a flawed candidate, for him to win a debate on points is nothing short of stunning.

but, have they lowered the expectations so much that undecideds don't bother to watch because of the perceptions these interviews leave?

Sarah Palin = Victorious and Smart

And, most importantly, she's HOT!!!
