This is even worse than the same old.....
Talk about inventing news!
Katie Clown better get called on this fraud,
 it is literally journalistic fraud.
How despicable,

Add CBS to the NBC and CNN  no interview list.

Sure treat dems like they are american idol winners/celebrities but republicans get treated brutally.

I'm sure there is extreme peer pressure in the media to follow the "popular" one.  They weren't nearly as harsh even to Hillary as they are to Palin.

But I fear, there is no turning back for MSM.

Does anything else really need to be said? - (emphasis mine)

UNITED NATIONS — Michael Douglas had
to field questions Wednesday about the financial turmoil shaking world
markets from reporters recalling his role in the 1987 film "Wall
Street."

The actor sought to focus on the subject of Wednesday's
news conference — urging the United States and eight other holdout
nations to ratify a nuclear test ban treaty.

Douglas won an
Academy Award for portraying the rapacious banker Gordon Gekko, who
popularized the phrase "greed is good" in the movie.

After world
leaders here condemned the "boundless greed" of world markets, Douglas
was asked to compare nuclear Armageddon with the "financial Armageddon
on Wall Street."

But the likening to Gekko did not end there, with a reporter asking: "Are you saying Gordon that greed is not good?"

"I'm not saying that," Douglas replied. "And my name is not Gordon. He's a character I played 20 years ago."

Douglas,
who married actress Catherine Zeta-Jones in 2000, has won two Oscars —
as a producer for 1975's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and as best
actor for his role in "Wall Street."

Unbelievable...

These investment banks are trying to dump worthless MBS on the American Tax payer. This bailout will cause hyperinflation and then you will see the makings of another Great Depression. Doing nothing means the market will liquidate this on it's own and yes banks with large MBS investments will tank, so what. Let the investment banks burn - they created this mess. Paulson is trying to save Goldman Sachs with the Bailout NOT mainstreet.

how can you have a Depression without first having a Recession ??
Talking up a "virtual" Recession did not work . . .So the Dems are trying to provide Americans with what the Democrats wanted all along . . .a Depression

Of course that's not the meme being pushed by the media but based on the 5-10 minutes I saw, Couric had this sourpuss look on her face and acted like nothing that Palin said was to be even considered.  The disrespect being show to Palin by the media is absolutely nauseating.  They are treating her as if she was caught sneaking on to school grounds late at night.

This is a governor, a high achiever, who from all evidence embodies great American values, even if I don't agree with all of her positions.  She deserves the basic decency that is extended to any other major candidate for public office.  

I think she needs to loosen up a bit but otherwise did just fine.  No gaffes.  The idea that not knowing McCain's personal record in the Senate in detail being pushed by the libs on Politico is some kind of serious error is nonsense.  And Couric handled it in the most condescending way possible, reminding me of Charlie staring down his nose at her and incorrectly defining the "Bush Doctrine" for all the world to see.

I'm very proud to be supporting Sarah Palin.  Very.  She will make an excellent VP for this country, I have no doubts at all.

You have to admit, it was a clever trick by Couric.  She tricked her into using the word and bam, the trap is sprung.   Very clever.  

I can't wait for us to get past this election for two reasons:

1.  John McCain will be President elect of the United States.

2.  The perky dufus will be in the unemployment line.  

I just watched the entire interview. Certainly Palin could have done better,  but no one is commenting on the fact that she didn't dodge the question. If Couric had asked that question of Joe Biden, she'd have received a 5 minute "waste of time" answer (probably containing at least one gaffe).

What's the difference between Barack Obama and Sarah Palin?
     One is eye candy while the other kills her own food.

With our nation’s economy on the precipice of meltdown, finger pointing and playing the blame game, in other words politics as usual, is the response we have come to expect from the political hacks known as Congressmen and Senators.  After all that’s so much easier than either accepting responsibility or finding meaningful solutions.

The one fact that no one wants to admit or even discuss is that for the last couple of decades we have bought into a lie.  We have been told that we can transition to an economy of simply dollars and cents and financial instruments, the so called “service economy”.  Ignoring the fact that in order to have any real value dollars and cents must be backed up by real goods and materials is the root of the crisis we now face.

We have simply stopped competing in the manufacturing arena and as a result our manufacturing base has become the infamous “rust belt”.  We were told it was more “efficient” to export our capital overseas rather than to manufacture for ourselves.

The very things that made us strong, our self reliance, ingenuity and innovation has been sacrificed on the altar of “global economics”.

Ever since the establishment of the Federal Reserve Board the Congress has abrogated if not abandoned its responsibility under Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution:

“To coin money, regulate the Value there of, and foreign Coin, ……..”

We may just be faced with a crash far worse than 1929.     In 1929 our currency was backed by gold, we had an extensive industrial base to drive the economy and employment, and we were a net exporter of energy.   All things we lack today.  So just what are we supposed to build a recovery upon?
