During his run as interim host of ABC’s This Week with…, Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper lobbied valiantly (but unsuccessfully) to get former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to appear on the program. While covering the shenanigans in Iowa this week, Tapper seized on the opportunity to finally get Palin to answer some “substantive questions,” but before Palin would face Tapper’s queries, she had priority business to take care of: “I’m gonna go meet a heifer first.”
Tapper’s amused, bemused reaction was priceless. “A heifer first?”
After a few minutes of milking the spotlight (setting the mooed?) at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Palin told Tapper that she still thought it was early enough in the process for new candidates to jump into the race, but that September would “practically speaking, have to be a drop dead timeline.”
She also expressed satisfaction with Thursday’s Republican debate. “They kinda took the gloves off,that was good.”

The Sunday shows are basically live to tape. The Couric interview was 6 hours long and only 30 minutes or so was shown. That gives way too much editorial control to the media and was a stupid decision by the McCain campaign. One of many.
She will be fine on the Sunday shows. She is capable of making David Gregory look the fool that he is.
I know she will. And I can't wait.
My hero!!!!
“She is capable of making David Gregory look the fool that he is.”
David Gregory can make David Gregory look like the fool that he is. Palin would reduce him to tears.
I was waiting for the panicked NYT Headline, but I guess they don't watch Fox News over there.
I’m with Sarah on this one. Cows have more intelligence than your average MSM drone. A lot more.
I hope she tells Couric to go kiss the butt-ugly end of a heifer.
She does know how to set priorities.

Only Sara Palin has the stuff to tame the press and hold the respect of our center-right nation. She is so much like our beloved Gipper it’s eery. I have loved her from word 1.
This is why I love Palin. She has a great sense of humor. Just a natural wit.
“should not go on shows like Meet the Press”
Just the opposite. It’s on those shows that she will win over a bunch of people that currently don’t support her. She will make a good impression those shows, no question in my mind about that.
(((((PING)))))
Man, didja read the comments? Sheesh....
“I’m loving every minute of this. Only in hindsight will we realize how brilliantly Sarah has played her hand.”
Me, too. I just enjoy waiting and watching - she’s not like the others, and that’s what fascinates me.
Beclowned — What a great word!
Sarah wanted to go meet a heifer before she turned Tapper into a steer! Damn feminist!
She is not a heifer. At least a cow, probably better categorized as a buffalo.
