Sarah Palin’s Blog

My definition of "gotcha" journalism

By Sarah Palin

Bio & Blog

I went back to that woman Couric's show yesterday. I don't get that lady. She's pretty like me, but then is all serious and not-nice like. On the show, John and I complained that the reason I've come off poorly in the public eye is "gotcha" journalism. I thought I'd take the time to define just exactly what gotcha journalism is.

1) If the interviewer asks any question that isn't the following:

a) Is it good or bad for Iran to cause a second holocaust for Israel?
b) Not setting pre-conditions to meet with bad guys is stupid wouldn't you agree? Please say something bad about Barack Obama.

2) If the interviewer don't include at least two multiple choice questions in the interview ... And none of that "both A and D" bullpucky either.

3) If the interviewer doesn't allow you to answer the questions ahead of time, off-air, in an email written by a staffer.

I guess in Alaska, we just have stricter journalistic standards.

George W. Bush:

Word up girlfriend. The media sucks, asking all them questions and expecting answers. Take my advice - lie, lie, lie. It's done wonders for me. Wait, what Laura? You say my presidency has been an extraordinary failure. See I only heard extraordinary. That's the other thing, girlfriend - only hear what you want to. Again, it has done wonders for me. Laura, I do not "suck out loud," stop interrupting me.

Laura Bush:

Oh, shut up and sit down, pea-brain. How many times must I tell you NOT to say anything unless I approve it first. That includes typing too!

Joe Biden:

My definition of "not-you" politics? Sarah Palin. You are a gift that just keeps on giving. You have the lunatic fringe's support, and only the lunatic fringe's support. You know the people, the same people that saw to it that G'Dub got elected twice. Do you really think the rest of America is going to agree with that bunch? Ever again? After this shitstorm of a presidency? No freaking way. Thanks, Sarah, you've insured us the election simply by being you, a Bush-clone with bazongas.
