How can it have been submitted over an hour earlier? This video was published 20 minutes ago. For your math to be right, this video would have to have been published four minutes after it was submitted.

In other words, are you sure you're not comparing the time at which this video was published to the time in which the other video was queued?

As much as I'd like to make a smartass remark about Sarah Palin right now, I think this issue needs to be cleared up. Actually volumptuous, it appears that aspartam beat you by less than a minute in posting this video.

At the time I am writing this comment, your was posted 2 hrs, 4 min, and 51 sec ago, while hueco_tanks posted this 2 hrs, 5 min, and 23 seconds ago. I have your video opened in another tab in my browser, and I refreshed both tabs simultaneously to be as accurate as possible.

I'd like one or two more members to verify this for us before either video gets discarded.

Oh man that publish vs queued time thing is a pain in the butt.

This is Palin saying 'I actually don't read enough of anything to know what I should say as a learned answer here'.

Holy crap she's a vapid, knowledgeless individual who shouldn't be allowed in the PTA let alone the whitehouse.

Does even news.google.com read ALL newspapers and magazines? Google needs to hire her before Microsoft or Yahoo get to her first!

Its all because they asked "what magazine or newspaper do you read to keep up on current events?" If they would have just asked her "what do you read to keep up on current events?" I'm sure she would have shot back with the Bible in a heartbeat.

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. She's just an avid reader; she has read everything. Do you think between both Biden and Obama they've read every single magazine and newspaper? No way.

I think she was afraid if she picked one Katie would ask a follow-up question, like "Spell cat."

There's a reason why this woman used to live in Alaska - arguably the most "remote" media-related location in the USA.

I can already imagine her running through the rubble of some hurricane-ridden town in snow-boots & Parka giving a "GO HUSKIES"-impression for the media.

Maybe all you people should reconsider and vote Republican instead- the comedic potential would be endless.

I Wonder why nobody covered Biden yet though, he's also quite the goldmine I imagine. (VP Debate tomorrow, yay!)

She's not just out of touch with Washinton, she's not really got the idea what the women in front of her was asking!

She's read as many magazines as she's had children. I'm sure there's a mathematical formula for it, but using it would create a black hole that would destroy the Earth. And we wouldn't want to take away the LHC's glory, would we?

I'd laugh so hard if she turns out to be some sort of brilliant Uber-Debater and completely plasters Biden. All of the stupid remarks and uh uhmm answers were a ploy to lull the Obama camp into complacency.

I have been trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with Palin. Is it the "handlers" who tell her -- never be specific -- use these phrases -- and she is so overwhelmed by those voices in her head that she can't answer a simple question?

After listening to this three times, I have decided it is worse than that. I think she is so quick to take offense, she is so quick to defend herself, that she sees a trap everywhere. She took this question as an attack, tried to defend herself, then turned around and attacked Couric. "We have magazines in Alaska, we're not a backwater" -- no way was Couric trying to say that. She was trying to get a sense of who Palin is -- the POINT OF THE INTERVIEW.

It has been reported that Cheney requires that when he goes to a hotel that the TV is tuned to Fox News. Bush has said that he listens mostly to Fox News. Couric, I think, was trying to see if Palin is a Fox News Junkie (um, Fox News Blindered Information Rejecter) or what. Time Magazine? US News and World Report? The Nation? All these publications have a slight bias and her choice of reading matter would give the American people a glimpse into her personality and bias (as if we don't know it already.)

Palin's defensiveness and quick-to-attack-mode is what is compelling here.

She's not stupid. You don't get to where she is by being stupid.

She also SHOULD NEVER BE NEAR THE OVAL OFFICE.

Pray for us all. My 84-year-old engineer military father still loves her. He's not alone.

I have a new-found respect for Katie Couric. She did a great job not soft-balling Palin, letting her walk into all these stupid statements. She's actually behaving like a journalist!

Kudos Katie!
