CBS: More Palin Footage Coming

There is some buzz stirring among the politically obsessed that CBS News is sitting on embarrassing segments from its interview with Gov. Sarah Palin and that the station would trot out those segments sometime this week.

The Washington Post's media reporter Howard Kurtz stoked the flames this morning when the reported in his Media Notes column:

"And the worst may be yet to come for Palin; sources say CBS has two more responses on tape that will likely prove embarrassing."

In the end, it seems, there are no saved tapes. A spokesperson for CBS, says that the station has released all of the footage from last week's interview -- in which Palin provided increasingly unsteady answers to a series of foreign policy and economic questions.

The source clarified that what Kurtz was referring to is part of the Vice Presidential Questions series with Palin and Joseph Biden which was always scheduled to air in the days before the vice presidential debate.

"The series is based on the Presidential Questions series," the source says, "in which Couric asks the candidates the same set of questions on wide range of topics from policy to character to leadership."

In addition, CBS has some new Palin content coming this evening. The cameras will be following the Alaska Governor and John McCain on the campaign trail in Ohio Monday.

Again, her response to questions regarding her qualifications is to simply reiterate that she is qualified.

Get a load of that "whoops" at 3:15....i'­ve never seen him quite so animated. I almost fell off my chair laughing.

OMG! LOL That is a clear case of "VP Candidate Abuse"
now McCain has to be joined at the hip with Palin during interviews- he is controlling, tells her what to say -when to say it and he gives her evil looks when she speaks... Forget Katie Couric- those 2 need to go on Dr. Phil

the Gotcha' questions from those pesky PIZZA restaurant voters!!!!

shameful

[LWilkinson315]

How sad was that! A guy ordering a slice with pepperoni was able to get Palin all confused- imagine what a meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff would do to her brain

[Belleweathered]

When you listen to Palin's response, she actually is MOCKING THE VOTER THAT ASKED THE QUESTION!!! She's a straight-up b&tch and clearly has nothing but disdain for the American voter and the democratic process.

Well thank goodness she brought Daddy to the interview to protect her.
Disgusting.
And by the way, where are her tax returns?

maybe they should go on the road as a triumverate. lieberman could whisper into mccain's ear and mccain can then whisper into palin's ear. i still think mccain is dragging her along--keeping her away from the press as much as possible..­..doing everything he can to stall troopergate until after the election. should the country be insane enough to elect him, he will unleash the dogs on troopergate and all the other little tidbits that have been arising. she'll have to step down and lieberman can take her place. mccain doesn't give two sh#ts about the religious right --he just needs them to get elected. after that he won't mind if they get p/o'd.

I think McCain intends to use her as his human shield - when the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune come sailing his way.

thank you

[loudyk]

Oh goodie! I hope this new footage coming out is as good as the Couric interview. That was such a riot!

[socalgal59]

Give her a break. The governor clearly suffers from a rare aliment known as the "Palin Effect": uncontrollable episodes of incoherent gibberish triggered by a direct question from a journalist.

Under ADA she must receive accommodation by her employer; therefore McCain is required to keep her away from journalists.

[jollyelle]

When???? Why are you protecting her??? We, as citizens, have a right to see and hear how she answers reasonable questions by a reasonable interviewer. As long as that's the bottom line, what are you waiting for.......­..........­???????? Just show it
