Video: Sarah Palin Gets a Second Chance to Answer Katie Couric’s Reading Question

Well, most reasonable people understand that Vice Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin just froze when asked by Katie Couric about her reading background the first time. But, the LEFT and lamestream media spun it into a Dan Quayle potato spelling moment.

So, does Sarah Palin acquit herself?

Barbara Walters dismissed Sarah Palin as “uninformed” on Thursday, telling the former Republican governor, “…Many people find the thought of you as president a little scary.”

The View co-host appeared on Good Morning America to promote her upcoming 10 Most Fascinating People special. She derided Palin, “You hear, ‘Oh, she’s very charming, but she’s uninformed.'”

Previewing the program with GMA co-anchor Robin Roberts, Walters explained how she retrieved a famous question from Katie Couric: “And you know, the Katie Couric question that caused her so much trouble? What do you read?…I gave her another chance.”

In the clip of the special, Walters condescendingly reworded the critique: “Would you like to tell us what newspapers, magazines or books you are reading right now?”

And, Sarah Palin’s answer:

I read a lot of C.S. Lewis when I want some divine inspiration. I read Newsmax and Wall Street Journal. I read all of our local papers, of course, in Alaska because that’s where my heart is. I read anything and everything that I can get my hands on, as I have since I was a little girl. And that’s one of those things, Barbara, where that issue that I don’t read or I’m not informed, it’s one of those questions where I like to turn that around and ask the reporters, why would it be that there is that perception that I don’t read?

The whole perception that Sarah Palin was an unread creton was B.S. from the beginning. But, you know, Katie Couric, received a journalism award (from USC Annenberg School of Communications, Norman Lear Center) because Palin had a freeze up.

Because, we all know what a penetrating questioner and honest journalist Katie Couric is.
