ABC Local Radio Qld this evening broadcast a very funny spoof audio of the Palin/Couric interview. There doesn't seem to be a link posted on the ABC website yet, but it should be available in the next couple of days.
The horrible truth, though, was that some of it was taken verbatim from Palin's remarks in the real interview.

Julia - Did you see my post #275 on this thread?
I put part of the Palin - Couric interview - then the transcript of Tina Fey's spoof.
You can read it whilst you listen to Palin's actual words spoken to Couric as the video plays.
It is great comedy - frightening too as it is reality!
Like the reality comedy of a $trillion lost on Wall Street today to save $0.7 trillion of the bailout.

That is just so typical coming from a Republican orientated American.

Another CBS interview example of how up to date this woman is:
Couric: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?
Palin: I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.
Couric: What, specifically?
Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.
Couric: Can you name a few?
Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. 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.

Couric interviewed Palin and McCain on her CBS News show yesterday:
A boon for lawyers getting women their monetary rights... so don't allow LFP Act? Hypocrite?!
Bamboozle with laws in place but don't practice what you preach by supporting women's rights!
Couric: What is your definition of a feminist?
Palin: Someone who believes in equal rights. Someone who would not stand for oppression against women.
Couric: Where do you stand on the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act?
Palin: I’m absolutely for equal pay for equal work. The Ledbetter pay act - it was gonna turn into a boon for trial lawyers who, I believe, could have taken advantage of women who were many, many years ago who would allege some kind of discrimination. Thankfully, there are laws on the books, there have been since 1963, that no woman could be discriminated against in the workplace in terms of anything, but especially in terms of pay. So, thankfully we have the laws on the books and they better be enforced.
Couric: The Ledbetter act sort of lengthens the time a woman can sue her company if she's not getting equal pay for equal work. Why should a fear of lawsuits trump a woman's ability to do something about the fact that women make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. And that's today.
Palin: There should be no fear of a lawsuit prohibiting a woman from making sure that the laws that are on the books today are enforced. I know in a McCain-Palin administration we will not stand for any measure that would result in a woman being paid less than a man for equal work.
Couric: Why shouldn’t the Ledbetter act be in place? You think it would result in lawsuits brought by women years and years ago. Is that your main problem with it?
Palin: It would have turned into a boon for trial lawyers. Again, thankfully with the existing laws we have on the books, they better be enforced. We won't stand for anything but that. We won't stand for any discrimination in the workplace - that there isn't any discrimination in America.

Katie is brilliant at entrapment:
* She gets Palin's 'agree with everything McCain says doctrine' locked in:
* And turns the tide to see how Palin will swim:
But Palin circumvents the question and treads water... trying not to drown (or answer the question):
On the issue of abortion:
Hmmm... have a law in place but don't enforce it??

I'm pretty sure Americans have only another 3-4 days to enrol... 2 days after the VEEP debate.
I almost feel sorry for Palin until I remember why she is in the news!
Bloggers:
* Does anyone else have a problem with the fact that the Republicans are asking the moderators to dumb down the debate so as not to embarrass Mrs. Palin? She's running for VP of the United States of America, for goodness sake! There shouldn't be a curve on this test.
* Go easy on her? Since when have we lowered our expectations for one of the highest positions in the country, not to mention the world? Scary. Very, very scary.
* 'Fixing' debate questions is an absolute nonsense and makes a mockery of the US electoral system. Which over the last few years has become easy to do.
* Leave her there; everytime she opens her mouth it's another vote for Senator Obama. How could the Republicans be so stupid as to nominate her in the first place? Oh silly me, they nominated G W Bush and there's only a thin line separating him and Ms Palin.
* So many people give Palin chances, like "shes new, dont be hard on her". I wonder if Palin would give you a chance? Anyway, I am tired of this drama about Palin being inexperienced. Many people make it sound like its an excuse. I mean, was she forced into the race for VP?
Stop the drama, vote Obama

Doris
, speaking of memorising stuff...
She should get her excuses ready in case she screws up..
One of the best had to be Downer - leader of Opposition at the time - screwed up an answer to the press causing a backflip - his excuse :-
"But I was emotionally affected by the corroboree"
Here are some other ones for her to memorise maybe
I imagine in her case ... "the kids were restless last night , and I didn't get a wink of sleep! - Now... please explain the question again. ..".

yep those redwoods make great firewood.
You reckon Palin (were she to become President) would permit exploratory drilling for oil in National Parks (as well as ANWR)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_National_Wildlife_Refuge
Hey Sam - You do realize that Chuck Norris has endorsed McCain, right? He only did it after McCain chose Palin. He was going to sit it out before the Palin selection.

That would be pine trees in my part of the country.
I certainly hope that she would permit drilling in Anwr. I predict that the U.S. will become energy dependent within the next 25 years.
