katie-couric-sarah-palin.jpgA representative for both Katie Couric and Alec Baldwin has responded to Sarah Palin's characterizations of them in her upcoming book "Going Rogue."

In her memoir, Palin talks about her guest-starring role on "Saturday Night Live." She was in an episode that included Alec Baldwin, and says all her skit ideas were shot down. One idea was to do a skit based on how Alec Baldwin was supposed to leave the country after Bush was re-elected.

Baldwin's rep Matt Hiltzik tells EW, "They nixed the joke because the underlying premise just wasn't true, because he had never said [that he was leaving the country]." Hiltzik also reps Katie Couric, whose September 2008 interview with Sarah Palin is largely regarded as the exposure that Palin was ill-informed and unprepared to hold the office of the Vice President. Hiltzik's response that Katie Couric was "badgering" and had a "partisan agenda?"

"The interview speaks for itself."

It most certainly does.

They made her look stupid yet again..LOL


Katie C. & Alec B. absolutely disgust me.
Palin is no prize herself, but she's not nearly as vomit inducing as those two pigs.


Why, Peanuts, because they showed Palin as the idiot that she is? Makes them heroes rather than pigs, methinks.


Palin looked stupid for exactly the reasons we thought she looked stupid. She was ill prepared and didn't have any knowledge about topics a candidate should have. Even if Alec never said it...I will. If this woman ever becomes President I WILL LEAVE the country.


DarenG - Please do - and take the current administration with you. Paying for THAT air fair is a stimulous package that I COULD BELIEVE IN!


Why is the Obama opposition so clearly uneducated? It's pathetic. 2ndone, go back to school. Sarah looks more like a dumbass everyday. She couldn't even name a SINGLE newspaper that she reads. If asking a politician who is seeking the second highest position in the country, where they get their news is partisan, then Katie Couric is partisan. Not shocking of the GOP though. They live with their heads in the sand.


If I recall Baldwin said he would move to Canada, and if my map is still correct that is out of the country.


And the woman couldn't name any other Supreme Court case besides Roe v. Wade, the fallback case for all uninformed conservatives.

In Vanity Fair, her nearly son-in-law Levi said he never saw her read anything. Now, I'll agree he isn't the sharpest tack in the box either, but I tend to believe that statement.


2ndone,

You must read about as much as Sarah. What is 'air fair' anyway, a carnival for oxygen? I think you meant 'airfare,' which is what you would pay to take a plane trip to visit the oxygen carnival.


WOW you all are idiots. Pick up a paper and read the facts.
