I wonder if Palin thought she would have it easy with Katie Couric. Couric's got a reputation (deserved or not since I don't really watch her) for being a soft and fuzzy type, and I wonder if Sarah thought she would get a female bonding type of interview rather than the tough one that Couric admirably delivered.
If Palin thought that, she don't know women. There was no way in hell Katie was going to let herself appear to be anything softer than a hard-edged news person out for the details. Couric's own reputation was at stake over this interview and if she'd lobbed softballs at Palin (like Hannity did), Couric would have been accused of going easy on Palin 'cause she's a woman. I don't think Katie was unfair at all to Palin, the questions she asked were for getting the details. It was Palin's fault she was unprepared for such a detailed interview and Palin's fault if she thought Couric would be at anything but the top of her game. This is female competition at its core, and Palin didn't suit up.
McCain and Palin just really don't get women.
