Palin, on which newspapers she reads: "Um, all of them."
COURIC: And 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?

PALIN: I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media —

COURIC: But what ones specifically? I’m curious.

PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.

COURIC: Can you name any of them?

PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.


The gift that keeps on giving.

4. notice the passive voice in that statement?
She reads "what's been in front of" her, making it seem incidental that she reads them at all... when she finds one in front of her, sure as heck she'll read it! But does she seek information, is the question. Does she have a particular source she seeks for particular content?

Apparantly NOT.

12. Indeed I did. She seems to be saying,
"Oh, yah, if there's a USA Today in the McDonalds some guy left there, or maybe a Washington Post in the airport, yeah, I'll look over it! Why, on my flight to New York City there was a New York Times there, and I read some of it. You bet I read some of it. Yeah, I read any paper if it's there and I got nothin' else to do."

7. I love this comment somebody left:
“you really , just have to give 110 percent..well you know, there is no I in team katie, you just have to get out there, you know, and give it your all, you know, give 110 percent…with 200 percent less blinking, because you know, there is no I in team, but, conversely, there is a T is Taxes, which are bad, and any tax reduction should ALWAYS be accompanied by a reduction in taxes…taxes which shouldnt be paid by the taxpayer. i was a geology major in college katie. i very much like rocks. i am very much like a rock. ice is like a rock, but i am not like ice. this i do not fully understand.”

So of course she reads every newspaper in the world. What a silly question!:crazy:

9. Shrub said he didn't read any newspapers
so if Palin reads all of them that makes up for it.
