before the Super Bowl. I have no link, but I just saw the commercial on CBS.
I'm going to watch the Palin interview right before this one.
Either I'll come on here saying:
1) Couric softballed and sucked up to Obama after skewering Palin
OR
2) Wow, there really is an amazing gap between Obama and Palin
or something else of course.
But either way, this should be an interesting juxtaposition.

If people like you set the bar so low, what hope is there? Couric did softball Palin. Palin skewered herself. I have watched the interview several times.
They re-run american t.v. interviews that often in Indonesia?

sh76 used the word "softballed" in the post I was responding to.
"Can you name any of [the newspapers and magazines you read]?" is textbook 'softball', or at least would be in the U.K. where I come from, or here in Indonesia where I currently live.

edit: unless, of course, you rate this is a non-self-skewering answer: "I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where, it's kind of suggested and it seems like, 'Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C. may be thinking and doing when you live up there in Alaska?' Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.".

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think Katie Couric played that hard with Palin. It would be awesome to see both on BBC's HARDtalk.
