Palin mocks Couric over CBS exit
CNN Political Ticker ^ | April 27, 2011 | Alexander Mooney

Posted on 04/27/2011 9:42:56 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

(CNN) - As Katie Couric gets set to leave CBS News after five years in the anchor chair, it doesn't appear as if Sarah Palin will be sending any flowers.

Appearing on Fox News Tuesday, Palin mocked the CBS newswoman who told People Magazine she is looking forward to a new position that will facilitate "multi-dimensional storytelling."

"Yeah, and I hear that she wants to now engage in more 'multi-dimensional story telling' versus I guess just the 'straight on, read into the, that teleprompter screen story telling,'" Palin said. "More power to her. I wish her well in her - 'multi-dimensional story telling.'"

Palin has repeatedly made clear she is still no fan of Couric, who's interview with Palin produced one of the most memorable political foibles of the 2008 presidential campaign.

A big Sarah supporter here and would love to see her run - America needs her NOW.

However, I am beginning to believe she will NOT run.

Sigh.....

I agree. Their use of left wing talking points is becoming increasingly easy to spot.

McCain would have totally wiped out without Sarah.

Most of the crowds & votes he got were to see & vote for Sarah.

I hopw she decides to run in 2012. Our country needs a Conservative leader like her!!

Just like begging a cold-blooded killer not to kill you is going to make any difference. You are delusional to what anyone who is the nominee against their beloved will go through. Palin is right to mock the media and their obvious activist ‘reporting’.

Explain George W. Bush. Where did playing nice with the media help him?! This country is already finished anyway. Can’t wait to see how playing nice helps your candidate.

You are an anti-Palin, pro-terrorist/anti-Israel, Obama supporting troll.

So you agree with the pro-terrorist freeper that Obama won because of Palin and not McCain?

make friends in the media

SKA-REW the "media"

The so-called "media" are not in the middle and need to be exposed at every opportunity as the bunch of lying Marxist hacks they really are.

The media was every bit as nasty during Reagan’s time as it is now

As I recall, the media was pretty nasty to Reagan, depicting him as a doddering old man. A man not up to the rigors of the presidency.

What I don't remember is the media going after his family. Oh sure, they went after Nancy after he was elected but not while he was running.

Also, I don't recall the media mentioning his children at all.....again, only after his election and only Patty and Ron, the ballerina due to their feud with their father.

The difference to me is how the media has gone after Palin's kids....nasty, horrid comments that largely go unchastised by the anyone on the left.

Because his kids were flaming liberals.

Not Maureen. Maureen was as conservative as her father and pretty vocal. Michael wasn't really known or talked about at that time. He was in his rebelling stage, IIRC.

Media today would certainly go after Maureen.

Also, as opposed to Palin, his kids were adults by the time he was in the White House.

I don’t think it is possible for Palin to make friends in the media. They simply aren’t open to that.

That said, this comment was beneath a potential candidate and makes her look petty and a grudge holder.

She could have merely said “I wish Katie well and I hope she wishes the same for me.” And then moved on. She would have looked above the pettiness.

The truth is that Palin did not bring Couric up, but hosts like to bring stuff like this up hoping it create another newsflash. That is why being cautious in responding is required.

Obama has this same problem. He gets snarky and shows his thin skin. Sometimes he is even a rude little smartass. It is not a Presidential quality.

You would be wrong. How is that search for BRAINS coming?
