McPalin interview excerpts with Katie Couric

So, the Republicans are making it increasingly obvious how unqualified Sarah Palin will be as the next VP (or possibly the next president), and what's worse is that senator John McCain can't back himself up. Guess the moose-sniper and the maverick are going to want to lie low and "suspend their campaign" for a while and ride out the last forty days of the election. Good luck to them. The following are excerpts from their interviews with Katie Couric on CBS.

Here's Couric pressing McCain on Palin's talk of American being on the road to another Great Depression:

Couric: “But isn't much of this, Senator McCain about consumer confidence?”

McCain: “Sure.”

Couric: “And using rhetoric like the Great Depression, is that the kind of language Americans need to hear right now?”

McCain: “Well, listen, I've heard language from respected people who are staring at the abyss. I've, I've heard all kinds of, of things from people. I don't think we need to scare people. …”

And here's Couric pressing Palin on a claim that McCain is the right man to "reform government" and Wall Street.

Couric: “But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation -- not more.”

Palin: “He's also known as a maverick though. Taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. …”

Couric: “I'm just going to ask one more time, not to belabor the point -- specific example in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation.”

Palin: “I'll try to find you some, and I'll bring them to you.”

Don't hurt yourself looking too hard, Palin - try beneath the cushions in the couch.

PS: Oh yeah - check out Tina Fey as Palin once again!
