That was a softball question she should have been able to hit out of the park. She could have answered that question in many ways. She, for example, “Could have said, “I don’t have time to read magazines. I’m very much involved in reading government reports and my staff keep me well informed of the issues of the day.”
A more seasoned politician would have been able to answer that question easily, without coming across as flustered.
You can try to cover her errors all you want, but it doesn’t change how she came across that interview.
But I realize, without the cultic chant, “all hail Sarah” any criticisms toward her will be met with an all-consuming attack from the Palinites.
There’s nothing wrong with being honest about admitting any politician’s weaknesses, even the ones you support.

No, it was a lead-in, and to those that understand politics, she did hit it out of the park by killing her lead-in.
Also, what you fail to notice was that there wasn’t a Couric interview, it was clipped together fron three days of Couric following her around.
