This is pretty amazing.
When asked which papers she's ever read before being tapped as the VP candidate, she says:
I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.
So Couric presses her a bit.
Couric: What, specifically?
Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.
Couric: Can you name a few?
Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, "Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?" Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.
Really? She not only hasn't read newspapers over the years, but she's not even aware of their names?
Can this be real?
Can anyone living in America, or even a state like Alaska, go through 44 years and not hear of the Anchorage Daily News? The New York Times? The Wall Street Journal? Newsweek? Time?
How can this be happening?
UPDATE W/VIDEO: h/t to Joe Beese
UPDATE 2:
What gets me about this - which I didn't get while reading the transcript - is how snarky she is in her answer. Here she is, clearly caught by surprise, and just as she belittled the voter and his "gotcha questions", over Pakistan, she's belittling Couric for asking her to say which papers she reads, as if that's somehow impugning poor, remote Alaska. The woman is beyond belief.
