CBS has released another snippet of the Couric-interview tape — this one on foreign policy. If you thought she sounded flaky this morning on domestic concerns, well, honey, that was nothing.

Technical note: I couldn’t get the video in the story proper to play, but there’s another copy of it just to the right that did work (even there, I had to click on one then another, but the second one played . . . and left me jaw-dropped at her inanity). If you can figure out WTF she’s talking about with “Putin rearing his head” and “they” — well, maybe I’ll worry about you some too.

Oh, okay, If TPM’s video gives you too much trouble, here’s CBS’s direct.

    and if this doesn’t scare you…take a look at the laying on of hands by the pastor and Sarah Palin, his driving out witchcraft references. Sarah Palin seems to have a much more serious “minister” problem than Rev. Wright ever presented.

    Yepper, lilaruby. Did you see this post with updates from Mudflats? Muthee was back in Wasilla this weekend.

    “we send those out” [to Russia] WTF?? Those what?

    Beats me, sailor. I’m still working on the part about Putin raising his head in Alaska’s airspace. Do you reckon she thinks he flies over Alaska when he leaves Moscow? Do you suppose she has any idea that Moscow is ELEVEN TIMEZONES WEST OF ALASKA?

    Damn, all I understand after reading this is why it took her 5 schools in 6 years to get through college. Bet she had to retake Engl 101 a lot (and to this day can’t form a coherent sentence).

    I, too, am stunned at her inability to string more than 4 or 5 words together. And she majored in COMMUNICATIONS? She keeps reminding me of the beauty pageant contestants who smile and answer “world peace” in the “interview,” regardless of the question posed. She scares me.

    “Bet she had to retake Engl 101 a lot (and to this day can’t form a coherent sentence).”

    Based on my experiences teaching 101 at state colleges, I’d guess she only had to take it once, and couldn’t form a coherent sentence.

    If you’re not a bookish person, or weren’t blessed with a “grammar Nazi” teacher in junior high, the odds are good that you just never learned to read and write very well, however smart you may be in other respects.

  7. lotus says:

    Yeah, but Anderson — she can’t even SPEAK a coherent sentence, never mind WRITE one.

    When Katie Couric stumped her, she batted her eyelashes and, I swear, appeared to FLIRT her way around the issue. Dear Lord, deliver us!

    Drum:

    I don’t even feel right making snarky jokes about this stuff anymore. This campaign has gone seriously off the rails. I’ve never seen anything like it, but everyone is still nattering on as if this is business as usual. If it is, though, we’ve already entered the world of Idiocracy and we might as well all just give up and enjoy our super-size Slurpees while we can.

    Mind you, this was about the domestic part of the Couric tape. Imagine when he gets to this new clip. Oy.

    Sara Palin makes ol’ Dannyboy Quayle look like a rocket scientist.

    If I’m Olympia Snow or Liddy Dole or Kay Bailey Hutchinson…I AM FURIOUS! What an insult Palin is to intelligent Republican women.
