Helen Thomas on Katie Couric’s Palin interviews: “She saved the country”
Hot Air ^ | May 19, 2009 | ALLAHPUNDIT

This was one of her lines at last night’s roast of Couric, but I don’t think she’s joking. Leave it to Aunt Bethany to miss the point of the evening, just like she’s been missing the point of asking useful, probative questions at the daily White House presser for decades.

There’s an interesting admission buried here: Is she implying that McCain/Palin would have won but for the Couric trainwreck? I’ve never heard anyone on either side seriously suggest that. I guess it takes years of taking up space in the briefing room, muttering questions about Israel, to develop that sort of political acuity.

I watched the whole thing. Liberals characterize it as a “train wreck”?

They just want people to buy into that. Like any viewpoint they have, they think if they blather it often enough, it will be true. It is not true, but I will grant that there are many who do believe it on that basis.

I remember those interviews fondly... I was thinking before during and after each interview that any sixth rate county government pol could’ve seen the ambushes before they happened.

But for some reason our guys didn’t care.

What “saved” the country was the late September financial crisis. Before that McCain-Palin were leading by five points in most of the polls. A week later they were behind by five and never caught up. That doesn’t mean McCain-Palin would have won, but Couric’s interview, which most Americans were probably unaware of, most likely meant little to the outcome. I’ll bet lib media bias along with the financial crisis played a huge role too. Obama received mostly softball questions from the press.
