Sarah Palin to co-host NBC’s Today show

Her stumbling answer – describing how “[Vladimir] Putin rears his head
and comes into the air space of the United States of America” – helped
reinforce the impression that she was not ready for high office.

She also failed
to name a single newspaper or magazine
. Ms Couric asked her:

“When it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers
and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay
informed and to understand the world?”

Mrs Palin replies: “I’ve read most of them, again with a great appreciation
for the press, for the media.”

Ms Couric: What, specifically?

Mrs Palin: “Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all
these years.”

Ms Couric: “Can you name a few?”

Mrs Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska
isn’t a foreign country, where it’s kind of suggested, ‘wow, how could you
keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when
you live up there in Alaska?’ Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of
America.”

She later complained about the questioned she was asked in the interviews.

“In those Katie Couric interviews I did feel that there were a lot of
things that she was missing in terms of an opportunity to ask what a VP
candidate stands for,” she said.

“What the values are represented in our ticket. I wanted to talk about
Barack Obama increasing taxes, which would lead to killing jobs. I wanted to
talk about his proposal to increase government spending by another trillion
dollars.”

Besides Mrs Palin’s surprise star turn on Today, the programme will also
include “a big NBC announcement” by Ryan Seacrest, according to a
Twitter posting by NBC on Sunday night.
