Sarah Barracuda Takes a Bite Out of Katie Couric

UPDATE: See "Who Killed Brian V. McDonnell?"

Recently Katie Couric asked Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin what publications she reads. Governor Palin found the question just a tad condescending. She felt that Couric must think that people in Alaska don't have access to the same media as everyone else. It has now emerged that that Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin reads The New York Times.

On Saturday, October 4, 2008, Governor Palin told an audience in Englewood, Colorado that she read in The New York Times (10-4-08) that Senator Obama is "palling around with terrorists." Governor Palin was referring to Senator Obama's relationship with the Weatherman terrroist Bill Ayers.

Reuters (10-4-08) reports:

Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin accused Democratic candidate Barack Obama on Saturday of "palling around with terrorists"...

"Our opponent though is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he is palling around with terrorists who would target their own country," Palin said of Obama, also calling him an embarrassment.

Palin cited a New York Times story on Saturday that examined Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers, a former member of the Vietnam-era militant Weather Underground organization who is now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Times concluded they were not close...

Obama served with Ayers on the board of a foundation in Chicago, and has said he was only eight-years-old when the Weather Underground committed its best-known bombing. He has also noted that former President Bill Clinton pardoned two members of the group during the last days of his presidency.
