WOW... you really can't name one newspaper?



"Asked what newspapers and magazines she reads, Palin - a journalism major in college - could not name one publication."

"I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media," she said at first. Couric responded, "What, specifically?"

"Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years."

"Can you name a few?"

"I have a vast variety of source where we get our news," Palin said. "Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, 'wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?' Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America."

What the hell kind of a response is that? Just say a friekin newspaper and save yourself the embarrassment. She comes off sounding like she has no ability to answer a simple question like "where do you get your news?". "Um all of them" sounds pretty flighty. Clearly she doesn't read the Witchita Weekly or the Des Moines Dime.... or does she?
