GIRLTALK! Couric, Palin (inset)

Katie Couric's sit-downs with
Sarah Palin might not have done much
for CBS Evening News ratings, or Palin's campaign cred, but they did wonders for Couric's online popularity (
and our own cruel, cruel amusement). Couric's show may still be in third place, behind ABC and NBC's newsers, but she's on top of the
Fame-O-Meter, and really isn't that all that matters? You see, the Fame-O-Meter knows no glass ceiling, nor cement ceiling. It knows only this: nothing brings people to cbsnews.com like Sarah Palin flailing for her "culture of life" life while Couric smiles sadistically and repeats the question. Ladies, it's been fun, or at least it was at first, and then it just got too ridiculous and uncomfortable to be pleasurable. Thanks for the memories.
Katie Couric would have done a better job as moderator. Gwen allowed Sarah to go off topic, & never pressed her to answer any of the actual questions, when sarah, was unprepared for a particular question, would just talk about anything.......What kind od debate is that?
Was the Gwen too afraid of being accused of asking anther "gotcha" question.
Weren't there any questions to be asked on Women's right to control their reproductive health? Separation of church & state?
