Katie Couric is all over the McCain Palin campaign trail, so much so, that I'm really wondering why Palin keeps allowing her to interview her. Clearly, no good can come from it, and if I were Palin, I would be a bit sick of Katie's incessant blinking.
Couric stopped by to ask Palin
about a couple hawt topics such as feminism, domestic drilling, and what her
favorite news sources are: "All of 'em, any of 'em, whatever's been put
in front of me all these years." Um...OK.
When the conversation moved on to Global
Warming, Palin says that while action needs to be taken, "It kinda doesn't
matter what caused it at this point." I can practically hear Al Gore screaming from here. In my humble opinion, I thought learning what caused something would help us understand how we can prevent it in the future...but what do I know.
As far as social
issues are concerned, I know a lot of gay people are worried that if Palin and McCain get into office, that they would try to stomp on their rights, but don't you worry! Palin is not going
to "judge Americans" for the CHOICES they make in their adult lives.
OK? So you can all stop worrying about good ole Sarah and John judging
you for that choice you made to be a big gay. Because, dontcha know, Sarah has a big
gay friend who made the choice to like other girls. So it's all good in
the gayborhood.
But what about abortion, you ask yourself! Well, some of the
best parts about Katie Couric's Day of Fun with Sarah Palin was when
she asked her that if a "15-year-old girl is raped by her father" does
Palin still think that it should be illegal for her to get an abortion.
Palin curtly responded, "I am pro-life and I am unapologetic about my position there."
And
what would she do for that poor teenage girl who has been impregnated
by her father? Palin says that this situation is "less than ideal" and
that she would make sure that the girl would be "supported" and that
she would make sure that "adoption is made easier".
Right.
Couric
swiftly brought up the Morning After pill and using her infamous "I'm
going to ask you again" line, she bluntly asked Palin if she condemns
the Morning After Pill or if she condones it. Sarah says that she
"wouldn't personally participate in the kind of contraception" while
emphatically stating that this was her personal opinion, not a McCain
and Palin policy.
This is the argument I've heard a lot from
Palin supporters - that it's her "personal opinion" to be anti-choice
and it's her "personal opinion" that life starts at conception. The
biggest concern I have about Sarah, is that as Vice President of the United
States, is she really going to set aside her strong, "unapologetic"
opinions when making laws and policies about abortion and emergency
contraception?
I doubt it.
