[...] Palin is just so much smarter than Katie Couric, she couldn't contain herself: “Last time I was here I got to tell a crowd that I had to [...]

I have a song for her...."On the Road Again...back to Alaska"!

Okay, her position is that she was stupid because she was annoyed? So anytime she becomes annoyed, we should expect her inner moron to emerge? And she is so easily annoyed?

Nice one, Sarah! And you are already stabbing your running mate in the back, eyeing your own selfish goals, ignorant that you yourself are a major part of his declining poll numbers! Of course, before the conservative mob, you could say anything and they will howl for blood.

The founding fathers feared mob rule and hated political parties. Sarah Palin loves the worst parts of both.

Again, critical of Palin for being annoyed at a media representative. Why not be critical of Obama/Biden for boycotting the Florida news station because they asked tough relivent questions? This happened Thursday, and not a word reported on this site.

At CNN, we just don't report the news, we distort the news!

Wow – her stupidity astounds me. Does she honestly think she has a chance in 2012? How could we ever forget what she has done this election cycle. Don't even try it Caribou Barbie- we aren't that stupid.

OMG! I think the true colors of this woman are beginning to prevail

we all love americans way of doing things here in germany but not this kind of jokes....etc...etc.... SARAH PALIN in the politic area....even as a VP choice! with the international crises the world is facing !?American must be out of senses. AND now accusing CBS interviewer for her doom and stupidities!?

Please. Any comment would have been too much for her to handle. Couric's questions were reasonable and fair, which is why Palin's performance was so universally panned.

Funny how she's peddling the notion that Obama and other Democrats would expand the government, when no other party has expanded it the way George W. Bush's party has of late. At least Obama's proposals call for an investment in America–not just extra spending in Iraq and elsewhere. Socialist indeed.

I knew she was selfish. Most of us could see that in her. She might as well stop her rogue behavior and help McCain. That is her last, best chance to get into the white house and it is a very slim chance. The only people who would vote for her are the people that already worship her. Not many. She would have to answer to many "hard" questions.

I find it amazing that SOME think the media may be piling on to Palin. Actually she is THAT BAD. Actually, she is being propped up and made top look good more than she deserves. She is ignorant but is simply cute. Press, OPen up the Howitzers!!!

Katie did not ask her any questions that weren't relevent.........Palin is just trying to put the blame on Katie instead of admitting that she(Palin) didn't have the smarts or intelligence to answer the questions.....she looked dumb and now she wants to put the blame on someone else.......Palin wants to run for President in 2012? Boy if she thinks she has been grilled and put through the ringer now wait till she trys to run for President...........besides if Clinton runs again, palin wouldn't stand a chance........

Sarah, I've got news for you. Millions of us are annoyed. Annoyed at McCain first by choosing you and at you for being not what you want us to think you are. Troopergate, Expense Reports, Per Diems, "Socialists". I'd better stop here as I'll run out of space

This women is a joke....

Annoyed with the questions....Ha! Ha! Ha!
This lady lies more than Dick Cheney.

It was apparent that Governor Palin did not understand Katie Courics questions which is probably why she didn't realize that she was asked about the economy, foreign policy etc. She is beyond belief.

The woman is out of her mind and out of touch. I can't believe she is so naive. I can't believe John M picked her. It is scary. She is now blaming Katie for her own failure. If you are claiming that you ready to lead the country, may be get of the stage and stop attaching others with your false trashy statements and educate yourself. She is a JOKE.

It's hard to imagine how Congress has an approval rating above 0. It's also hard to imagine that anyone believes a single thing they read, hear or see from CNN, ABC, NBC or Fox. There is no news, only noise.

"If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed." Mark Twain

Sara if you were not so pathatic you would be funny. You are no reformer,your just another politician out for what you can get,charged the state for her children to travel with her,spending 150,000 on clothes..

I can't stand her anymore...

If you look up the word "laughingstock" in the dictionary, you'll see an 8 x 10 glossy of Palin as the example that's given.

A sorry state of affairs if we are saddled with father & daughter in the white house. Is that all those two canis do belittle Obama. Send the queen back to Alaska so she can sharpen up on her foreign affairs looking at Russia

Wow... I am really at a lost for words; their 15 minutes are slowly winding down. Hindsight is 20/20 and I am sure John McCain can see clearly now. You betcha!!!

Get out and vote to stop this nonsense...

Governor Palin, what a lame excuse. I heard your interviews....your answers could not be explained away by saying you were "annoyed"....your lack of knowledge and intellectual ability cannot be explained away....to sit there and claim you have foreign policy credentials because "when Putin gets in his plane and flys over Alaska airspace" was utterly stupifying, along with the claim that you can see Russia from Alaska. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.

Between the republican and democrat candiates once ,again the American voters are looking at the lesser of two evils.
Instead of going to the polls and flipping a coin I would urge all voters to give the independant candidates an open minded consideration.
Check out Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin as alternatives to the "big" party candidates.

The problem with Sarah Palin is that she is smart, but at the same time she is dumb. When she has any interviews, and the outcome is negative, she blames the Interviewer. Can she cut off her nose inspite of her face.

Her hate and fear in her rallies are extemely too dangerous. If you want to live in a Country that is divided, then so be it. Me I want to live in a Country that is free, to use my mind and my own beliefs. Our Government should actually stay out of our personal lives.

I just wish that Obama turn the page on her and her abusing power, AIP, her witch hunter minister, She wants to go after Ayes and Wright, not once telling the American people that her husband is a card carrying AIP member.

Sarah Palin this is not FOX News and you can go on back to Alaska and if you succeed in the cession from the rest of the U.S. You can run for President of Alaska and your first dude can be your puppet master, and McCain can be your Vice President

GO Obama/Biden08/12

Funny. Joe Biden was just "annoyed" by an interview, but you don't see that here. The disappointing aspect of this election has been the biased and poor coverage by the entire US media. I'm still looking for a new agency that simply reports the news and does not have an agenda.

republicans are so dumb! katie asked her real questions, and she didn't have any answers, end off story! now, 3 weeks later "stale and pale sarah" still comes up with no answers, and tries to make a point. she has lost the plot completely, someone please find the switch to turn off that annoying noise that comes out of her mouth!

obama/kimbo slice 08'

she would not be "Annoyed" if she could just answer the simple U.S. questions that she should have known anyway.

will this nightmare end already?!??

Republicans (and Palin) are delusional if they think she is the future of the party or has a shot in 2012. She can excite (or is it "incite?") the extreme right base, but she has zero chance of reaching out to the majority of moderates and independants.

Sorry Sarah, but getting people to shout derogatory (and sometimes racist) remarks at your rallies in front of taylor-made audiences will NOT endear you to the majority of Americans. In fact the opposite effect seems to be happening. And FYI: the majority of Americans are NOT right-wing Republicans. Do the math.

Sarah Palin the "Future of the Republican Party?" Only if the GOP wants to continue to implode and hand more power to the Democrats.

I don't think that Gov. Palin as much annoyed by the questions she was asked as to being more annoyed that she could not answer them. Every question she was asked, I believed, was extremely relevant. And once again, I think Gov. Palin especially needs to watch some of the rhetoric she cites at her rally because they draw up emotions in people and make them say very ugly things.

I WILL NEVER PLAY ANOTHER HANK WILLIAMS JR. SONG ON THE JUKE BOX.

So "annoyance" becomes today's excuse for lack of competence and awareness of international and domestic issues? Sorry, but that ship has sailed. If the John McCain of 2000 was running today, his campaign would not be in jeopardy. His selection of this "loose cannon" for the second highest office in the land was the final nail in the coffin for this moderate. I shudder to think of her being President. Can you imagine the incompetence of Qualye combined with the ruthlessness of Cheney, packaged as a "beauty queen".

Be afraid America, be very afraid.....

Obama/Biden '08

Let me see now. $150 000 over the past two months for her outfits and she feels she doesn't need to answer any questions about her understanding of national security, constitutional law, the economy or John McCain's regulation stance?

I suppose she can learn about those things while on the job.

But will she expect taxpayers to foot the bill for ($300 000?, $500 0000?) for her image makeovers while in office?

Sarah Palin – We accept her! We accept her! One of us! One of us!
You know, because average-achiever Bush turned out to be such a good choice.

Still think she is well there is just no nice way to put this'dirty white trash from idaho' sorry but that is how she comes across and for the republicans to put her up as VP goes against every thing I as a middle of the road republican stand for.I will not vote republican this tme around.

When one has to justify anything means to me, that they were the one who was wrong in the first place!

Go home!!!!

I really don't like this lady; she's too divisive.
She doesn't even pretend to unite voters, how disgusting.
Names such McWar, McSenile, Barack the wealth spreader, etc. are permissible, they're kinda funny, but "Terrorist", "Off with his head" "Hussein the socialist" are alarming and dangerous; this lady is bringing up the demons of the past; I really really dislike her for her way of running the campaign. She will come back in 2012 to run against Obama, I truly hope that people don't forget every single divisive and utterly wrong thing she has said so far. I respect Senator McCain, but his choice for running mate could not have been worse.

WOW! I am in complete awe of what's happening with the Republican ticket. John McCain must go to bed every night now regretting his choice of Sarah Palin.
In any event, everyone, PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE...for whoever you support. Just VOTE!

There's no such thing as a stupid question... only stupid answers!

It's time to load up the kids and send them back to school in Alaska, Palin. Your 15 minutes a fame is over!!! By the way tell Mccain I said hello on your way out!!

Palin certainly remains highly sensitive over her disappointing performance during the Katie Couric interview. Couric's careful and respectful questioning revealed Palin to be the light weight she is. Trying to explain this away won't help Palin erase the memories.

Didn't Nostradamus predict the world would end in 2012? And Palin on a 2012 ticket? It all makes sense now.

Well that's just swell Sarah, because America is equally ANNOYED with you! Go back to Alaska.

the mention of Quayle at the beginning of the piece revealed the leanings of the author clearly. It was irrelevant but pointed. Have fun all.

Oh Sarah, Sarah when you want to sit in the second highest chair in this land and represent millions of its diverse citizens, then you answer the questions being asked of you.

Remember... you are asking US to vote for you....

Poor John, he picked his own Judas. Hank, I thought a lot better of you man. That woman is not fit to be governor, more or less president of the greatest nation on earth.

She said she "showed some of that annoyance.” But that is just a lame excuse for not having the basic knowledge base that VP candidate should have.

Annoyed? As a candidate it is your responsibility to answer questions, yes Sarah, even questions you do not want to answer or have no clue what the answer is, because you do not understand. And it is the job of the media (which last election they were negligent on) to ask the very hard questions and insist on an answer, not the run-a-round talking point. It seems Governor Palin talks more about her opponent than her and Senator McCain's planned policies, are there any? Or do they just not want to say what they are?

She has every right to be annoyed. It's shocking how the media treats Palin. They would never treat Biden or Obama the same way. It's so obvious who the media are pulling for in this election.

She makes George W Bush look like the head of Mensa and insults door nails.

She is a complete moron!

I never thought I would live to again see a politician, that tries to woo voters by spreading fear of the 'socialist enemy', leads with corruption (pipeline contract), thinks she is above the law, and mobilizes the radical right hate wing.
I am having flashbacks with Europe 1933.

Please wake up people!

It is not my fault! Katie Couric made me say dumb things!

This woman is so arrogant, ignorant, and unprofessional. I won't be popping open any champagne bottles until after Nov. 4, but I'm so hoping for an Obama win. And if and when it happens, I hope not to see this harridan ever again. If she does try to run for President in 2012, I hope she gets creamed in the primaries.

You know how some people just rub you the wrong way as soon as you meet them?
Well, that is what Sarah Palin does to me. No reason, just the way it is.

I actually feel a little sorry for McCain. Not only is his VP pick starting to revolt, but so is the campaign entertainment!

In 2016, Palin will be running not as the "maverick," or the "reformer."
She'll be the candidate who is a "rogue."

Oh, if only he had picked a VP based on credentials, not popularity.

Annoyed??? Lets say she was to dumb to provide a decent answer. And the American public is even dumber to put up with such an uneducated ignorant redneck. You burn your bridges with the media you are gone. McCain and the Republican Party ruined themselves there is no one else to blame.

Palin never corrects the crowd when they get out of hand. She likes it when they say unruly things.

I think she may be a scary person. I do not trust a leader who stands up for such words as; socialist, terriorist, communist, kill him.

What kind of person is she?

WHO IS SARAH PALIN !!!!

Who is Sarah Palin......................

How many of us really believe that Couric's questions were about irrelevant topics? The fact is, she focused on the burning issues of the day. Palin couldn't answer them well, because she's unknowledgeable. CNN quotes someone involved in prepping her for her role stating, "Her lack of fundamental understanding of some key issues was dramatic."

I feel like she is whinning....didn't she acuse Hillary of whinning??? She can dish it out , but can't take it.. and when you chanllenge the public on how you would do better then the other women.. you will get tested.. Don't brag about how your so perfect.. and how you would handle things differently, and then do exactly what you say you wouldn't do. This women is not as innocent and good intentioned as she tries to come across as..and it is starting to show.

Palin's Rally's=PYSCHOTIC
Palin's Mindset=PYSCHOTIC
Palin's Followers=PSYCHOTIC

IF SHE IS ELECTED IN 2012....THERE GOES AMERICA=PSYCHOTIC

NO PALIN NO PALIN NO PALIN NO PALIN NO PALIN

"Gotcha Media" all over again, uh Palin?

The only question you could be proud of answering is related to a 80's movie you liked.....so sad. No substance.

please put us out of this misery in 9 days

OBAMA 08!!

It is no surprise if Hank Williams Jr, messed up the lyrics, it's amazing he even REMEMBERS the lyrics after all the stuff he's ingested into his body, after all, it's a family tradition...

This woman is very, very scary!

Palin is a breath of fresh air to this campaign of the ususal line up of men. Seems to me that men just want to continue to rule the world and if a woman gets in the way, smear her.

That goes for rogue reporters as well as political pundits.

I say Palin is growing in her roll and preforming better than expected ergo the elite have to take her down.

I say Let's go Palin, Let's go.

Wow McCain's campaign is really falling apart. Palin, the maverick is now doing anything she can to save her legacy from being an unqualified empty sweater from Alaska. Hopefully in a few days we will never have to see or deal with her 'crazy' anymore.

If the media questioned Obama even half as much as they question Palin or McCain, Obama would not won an election after Iowa.

The media has done a lasting disservice to the America public.

This woman is a fake. A total fraud. She's cunning and very, very dangerous.

She's also a crook, unethical, hateful, a liar, a divider, sneaky, and totally dishonest.

THE MEDIA IS NOT PLAYING FAIR ! BOTTOM LINE

I really hate this woman.........Please go back to Alaska, contact with the general population of the mainland U.S.A. is causing an epidemic IQ drain.

Is Palin for real? She could not put a sentence together, let alone answering a simple question! Give me a break!

Instead of complaining, she should be thanking Couric for giving her a question she could answer.

How dare sarah palin have the gall to be annoyed with anyone? She is by far the dumbest woman we have had the displeasure of comimg across in americas public eye. She is really full of it !

She coming here this evening. Ought to be quite a circus.

And the GOP thiks she's ready to lead as VP??? LOL......She should go back and run for mayor.

Please, she is already a has been. Her nomination tanked McCain's campaign. It will take more than 4 years for her to get up to speed on national issues she has been ignoring her whole life. Even her interview for People Magazine was unimpressive......

so... "What's your favorite movie?" is the appropriate line of questioning for a VP candidate? nice.

GO AWAY SARAH!!!!!!!!

she is very scarey!!! Her speeches always end with someone yelling hateful things..

Sarah Palin is dishonest. She wasn't annoyed with Katie Couric's questions. She was unprepared and looked stupid. It's as simple as that. Now she is trying to paint herself as the 'victim" and soothe her injured pride. Bulls%&:t. Palin go away!

Yeah!!! Yeah!!! Yeah!!!! Whatever Sarah....
Exit.... Stage Left.... Leave while you still have a little bit of dignity and self respect and prepare yourself for a bitter defeat when your first term as Governor expires.......In my opinion Palin should definately not be in any leadership position that has the capacity of deciding the direction of the lives of so many people....

GO OBAMA/BIDEN

Lady get a grip. Palin appears to be annoyed with everything that goes against how she feels. She would be one to impose her views upon many of us as women. And frankly I do not agree with over 75% of them.

Just because she is a women is not going to make me vote for her. She is a women who lacks the brain power to get things going. She is very narrow-minded in her thinking. Have many of you stop to listen to what she says when she does speak. ITS SCARY!!! VERY CONTROLLING

she was annoyed cos she has no brains, and can only answer questions if the republican party has given her the answers to them

Sarah Palin and her husband were members of the Alaskan Independent Party in 1994. She has spoken at their rallies several times and told them they were doing a great job and to keep it up. The AIG wants to suceed from the union and be come a state.They preach hatred and comtempt about the USA. I wonder what would be said if Obama had done that?

The only time America and the World got a chance to learn about the real Sarah Palin was during the Katie Couric interview when there were no scripts, teleprompters and rehearsed talking points.

Ms Palin is annoyed that people got to know who she really is.

Biden seemed to have a pretty tough interview where he was "annoyed" recently...where's the converage of that?

Poor Puppet Palin is annoyed, eh? What about me? Magnify her mood by a trillion, and that's how annoyed I am about her being in this race! You betcha ... gosh-diggity-darn-it.

...and the blame-game continues! you CAN'T blame katie couric for your ineptness. i'm almost to the point of feeling sorry for you...

I hope Palin gets the nomination in 2012.
It will be another easy win for the Democrats!

That darn "gotcha" media elite with their "follow up" questions and their "Do you even know what you're talking about?" biased message.

How can anyone with half a brain feel sorry for her. If I hear one more time how the media has not questioned Obama like they have Palin I'm going to puke! Obama has done countless interviews with questions just like the ones they asked Palin and he sounded like an intelligent, well-spoken gentleman with strong leadership skills.

Don't even try to compare Palin to Obama. Palin is way out of her league and many Republicans even acknowledge this! Maybe Obama's right, the McCain campaign thinks we're stupid. Hey, we did vote in Bush twice. (Well, at lease once for real.)

Do people actually still go to see her? She's a waste of time.

WE NEED THE OLDIES .....ROSS PEROT, COLEN POWELL, ETC

She is so clueless.....

She is really something... She needs to take her creepy followers back to Alaska with her.

First of all it takes no talent to re gurgitate an old song,it is similar to running a campaign with and outdated strategy.Anyone can take an old song and throw in new words, people do it every time they drink one too many.There is nothing original about this, much like the old school Rove tactics this campaign has been.There is nothing original about going back in time to put blame on Couric for stupid answers to simple questions.Palin could go to ONE University for the next eight years and not have what it takes to be a VP. Her chances are gone forever,and the only way Republicans could save their party would to start brand new from the bottom up and she has damaged her career forever with her ill fated attempt in this campaign.

If pwecious widdle sawah can't take the heat, she should drop out of the race and go home to Alaska. She's SOOOO proud of her stance, which shows she is absolutely UNQUALIFIED for VP or Heaven forbid, President.

This woman is insane.

it continues to amaze me literally every day just how DUMB joe the plumber is.

What is she babbling about now! Katie's line of questioning was fine. Palin just didn't like her own responses. Grow-up woman, my 10 year old daughter would make a better VP. Who's running for President here, McCain or Palin? This woman is delusional!

I'm so ready for this to be over. Palin should focus on her future, because even she and everyone self see that the campaign has come unglued.

This is something I can't accept....I was so impressed by Palin initially but now she is forcing me to vote Obama.Why she got annoyed by those questions? I watched the interview and the questions were so relevant .CBS asked the right questions especially about the financial crisis and bailout plan. Palin failed so miserabily and my 14 year old son might have answered better to those questions.

Please– stop digging that hole bigger than what it is!!

Guess what-America is annoyed with Palin. She is putting us all at risk with her candidantcy.She is tempermental,under educated,a poor decision maker,and a loose canon. It is clear she is not suitable for the position.Look to Hollywood Palin. That is where you belong.

Does this loon not realize we have the VIDEO of her interview available? We can see and hear the interviewer specifically ask Palin questions about national security and the economy. This denial in the face of evidence is right up there with Palin claiming the Alaska abuse-of-power report somehow vindicated her. Is she too dumb to understand what people say and write, or is she hoping WE are? Either way, she's unfit to lead.

If Palin was ennoyed by a reported's questions, what is she gonna do when she has to put up with a public, advisors, and other government reps who disagree with her, and ask her those ennoying questions.

So much for working accross differences.

NO WAY NO HOW, NO MCCAIN/PALIN!!!

We need someone who is a good communicator at the highest office, Obama and Biden have shown that!!

Going more and more rogue. Forget it... this woman is talking from a different planet, not our Earth.

CNN is at it again – anything they can spin they do – what are the names of the McCain folks – omitted or false? CNN does not report anything that is balanced – they want you to believe what they post – and vote like they want you to believe is right. Think Americans – why are they making people out to be stupid and they are running the campaign? JBC

The Alaskan Newspaper endorsed Barack Obama saying she was not qualified. Paliin is out of control. John McCain is responsible for this by not vetting her. Now she is saying Barack Obama is communiist. This kind of a person could no more lead this country. She is an embarrasment to the Republican Party and the country.

It is all about Palin and power and no one else.

This lady is ambitious and dangerous. A religious fanatic who is not above lying. The real Sarah Palin and her husband have been revealed. My real concern is that Sarah Palin does not have sense enough to "know what she doesn't know, and listen and learn from those who do know."

where is the interview in fl when biden was "annoyed" that the interviewer asked him valid questions. he couldn't believe that the interviewer would ask him about socialism, and marxism. the obama camp sent a letter to the station pulling the plug on all future interviews. the pattern of attacking or smearing anyone who questions obama's policies is transparent. is this the "change" obama is going to bring, sounds more like a dictatorship.

She "annoyed" her? Oh come on! It's not Katie's fault Sarah Palin doesn't have a clue about current affairs! =P Gimmie a break!

Obama/Biden '08

======TO palin supporters:

-plz, tell me how is she gonna run our country , when she can't even do an interview and gets "annoyed" ??????

she in no Leader for us.
