The series of segments showing Katie Couric’s interview with Sarah Palin have been slow Chinese water torture. And they have destroyed Sarah Palin’s candidacy. Today she destroyed McCain’s argument of experience versus Obama. Yesterday she could not recall any other Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade (even though if you have watched one episode of Law & Order, or any cop / lawyer show, you would know Miranda v. Arizona). Last week she wowed us with her utter lack of foreign and domestic policy knowledge.

I mean, how basic is this? Every one of us, even our conservative friends who grace us with their loving presence each day here at Delaware Liberal, can name off the top of head within seconds the names of the newspapers and magazines we read regularly. Here, I will do it.
“Del Dem, what newspapers or magazines do you read regularly?
“Well, Katie, I read the Wilmington News Journal, the Delaware State News, I listen to WDEL, I read CNN.com, I read the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the Philadelphia Inquirer.”
But Sarah Palin, the supposed next Vice President of the United States, and one day a possible next President of the United States, cannot answer that question.
The reason why is that she does not read newspapers or magazines, I guarantee you. We have a President already who doesn’t (or can’t) read the news. How has that worked out?
