SJReidhead over at the Pink Flamingo notes why Sarah Palin came off so incoherent in those CBS News interviews with Katie Colic - Palins 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 thats what well take advantage of with new leadership in the US and in Pakistan. And Im 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 youve 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.

come on McCain ..don't waste Sarah.....she's the diamond in the rough but you got to give her a chance...

When Katie asked Sarah about her “international experience,” she should have said she would use the same principles and instricts she has used as a governor. Biden has 30 years of international experience, all of it wrong headed.
You do realize that that isn’t her body don’t you?
do I like all of his ideas...NO.....but the man, he's a gem....he's ALL-American....to the core...
It is reprehensible but entirely expected.
Shame on you Couric.
If you are going to shill for Obama, then be honest enough to make your advocacy transparent and public and stop masquerading as “journalist” or whatever media people are acting as these days....
I think this cheapens her.....
As much as I love Sarah, I won't even watch when she is being interviewed. I can no longer tolerate the arrogant Olde Media's attempts to deceive.
They need to take the lesson that John Cena (Pro Wrestler) got when he had his own camera taping the interview. Predictably, CNN completely turned around what he said about steroids in the editing room. See this amazing video...

That being said, shes going to have to get used to handling a hostile liberal press. Like most decent people, she expects these interviewers to act decent. They don't. They hate us with a hot passion and they want us destroyed in this election.
I want to see Gov. Palin prepped with some practice interviews to deal with this brand of hostility. She can keep her naturalness, and her character we admire her for, but she needs to be more direct and show herself as a commander when the case calls for it. Guiliani is famous for handling most of what they do with humor. Laughing in the face of somebody like Katie Couric or Charles Gibson when they throw a spitball. This can also work.
Thank God that most of us, as decent hard working Americans don't have to develop skills to handle complete Donkeys like Katie, Charles, Keith Uber-head, and Chrissy Matthews.
Goose: Is on our tail! What are you doing? You’re slowing down!
Maverick : I’m gonna let him get closer.
Goose: YOU’RE DOING WHAT?
Maverick : I’m gonna slam on my brakes and he’s going to fly right by!
BOOM!!!
OODA loop = “Observe-Orient-Decide-Act” fighter pilot loop. The pilot with the fastest OODA loop wins.
Watch what happens at the VP debate....
i'm shocked...shocked i tell ya...
The evidence is in the time stamps associated with the Q&A.
CBS presented the 2 questions as back to back, when in fact there was a THREE HOUR time difference.
This proves editing!!!
Why would you expect the poster to have access to unedited transcripts?
THIS IS WHY THE McCAIN CAMP MUST INSIST ON HAVING IT’S OWN CAMERA CREW!!!!!!
It sure would be great if Hannity started showing the before and after work whenever this happens....upload it on drudge, you tube etc.
This is no surprise coming from the MSM. These scumbags deserve to be tarred and feathered. Their chosen mission is to alienate as many people as possible from the truth.
