Katie Couric Investigates "The Sillies"

I'm not finding much to blog about at the moment, but I am feeling a bit silly. I'll try to "shake 'em out," while you watch this from Funny or Die.

Katie Couric Investigates the Sillies from Katie Couric

Bryant Gumbel & Katie Couric Ask: What is the Internet Anyway? (1994)

Yeah, in 1994 the internet wasn't as common as it is now. But did this seems a little late to me.

Auto-Tune the News #8

This is great.

Auto-Tune the News Hillary Clinton and More

It took me a little while to understand what the big deal was with this "Auto-Tune the News" thing. I wasn't impressed at first. But it's growing on me, and this one is pretty good. I especially like Hillary Clinton and Katie Couric when auto-tuned.

Colbert, Barkley, & Letterman On Limbaugh (with Hannity Brown-nosing)

Before the "Rush Limbaugh as leader of the GOP" story plays out completely, I thought I'd post this video. The best part is Stephen Colbert's smack-down of Sean Hannity in the bargain. Good stuff!

Keith Olbermann Dissects Sarah Palin's Latest Statements

Keith Olbermann is at his best when one of his favorite targets says something stupid. And Sarah Palin can always be counted on to say something stupid. Lots of somethings. Almost every time she speaks. Check this out. It's loaded with laffs, no kidding.

Joe Biden vs. Sarah Palin, the Pre-Game

The big, highly anticipated Vice Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin happens tomorrow night, and the world isn't sure what to expect. Many liberal detractors hope she'll trip over her tongue and fall flat on her Tina Fey glasses. Conservative supporters are either saying she'll do great, or they are busy setting up excuses they can use later if she does badly.

Then, of course, there is Joe Biden's ability to put his foot in his mouth, or just run off at the mouth. And there are worries that he'll come off too "mean" against the poor little hockey mom. Either way, it should be interesting television. And there must be fodder for Saturday Night Live skit in there too.

CBS News may have helped us out though, with seperate interviews for both candidates, where they were asked similar questions. Here first, is Sarah Palin:



And here is Joe Biden:



If this is indication, the Caribou Barbie is in trouble.

Sarah Palin Chaperoned by McCain to Couric Interview

I guess someone from John McCain's campaign finally watched the Katie Couric/Sarah Palin interview, and decided that she should not go there alone again. So they sent McCain to help deflect Couric's questions. Sad.

Tina Fey Back as Sarah Palin on SNL

Tina Fey turned in another great performance as Sarah Palin last night on Saturday Night Live. It wasn't quite as funny as the Palin-Hillary Clinton skit, mostly because Amy Poehler was playing Katie Couric, which didn't offer her a very meaty role. Still, pretty funny stuff.

Sarah Palin's Second Major Interview: Katie Couric

No, I didn't watch the thing. And, no, I do not count Sean Hannity's infomercial as an interview. But it looks like I didn't miss much, based on this writeup. Sarah Palin is still answering questions like a beauty pageant contestant, meandering around, acting like she knows what she's talking about.

[Excerpt]



Palin unable to name any examples of McCain ‘pushing for more regulation’ in the past 26 years.

In her interview with Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) tonight, CBS’s Katie Couric noted that the governor has said, “John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business.” “Can you give us any more examples of his leading the charge for more oversight?” Couric asked. Palin, however, refused to answer the question directly, instead going on about how McCain is seen as a “maverick.” When pressed further by Couric, Palin was unable to name any examples of McCain pushing for more regulation. . .

David Letterman Rips into John McCain for No Show

CBS's Late Show with David Letterman hasn't even aired here yet, but it's making big news for tonight's episode. John McCain was scheduled to appear, but due to his bizarre decision to suspend his campaign, he told Letterman personally that he was off to DC to save the country.
Or something.

But Letterman caught McCain in (yet another) lie. He wasn't on his way to DC, he was at the same network, giving an interview to Katie Couric. In fact he doesn't go back to DC until tomorrow.

Letterman--bless him--lets McCain have it. Take a look. . .

What's the Deal With McCain's Take on "The Surge"?

I wanted to write something about the CBS Katie Couric interview with John McCain. You know the one, where she asked him a question, he answered it--badly--and then CBS edited it to look like he gave a different answer. But after watching this clip, I realized it really can't be summed up any better--or more entertainingly--than this.
