Sarah Palin Invokes Her Journalism Degree!

Palin2 In yet another interview with Katie Couric today, Sarah Palin was asked what newspapers and magazines she has read to keep up with events and inform her world view.  She would not name a single one, beyond "all of them," even when pressed.  (Wonder how the Anchorage Daily News feels about that?)  She also reveals that she has a close friend who made a "choice" to be gay. See video below.

Also, we all know that Sarah Palin ended up with a college degree in journalism (even if she had to go through five colleges to get it).  But for the first time, probably,  she mentioned it today in an interview, on the rightwing talk show hosted by Hugh Hewitt.  She also referred to herself as "normal Joe Six-Pack American" and said it was time to have that type of Joe (not Biden) as vice president. The J-degree exchange:

HH: Now Governor, the Gibson and the Couric interview struck many as sort of pop quizzes designed to embarrass you as opposed to interviews. Do you share that opinion?

SP: Well, I have a degree in journalism also, so it surprises me that so much has changed since I received my education in journalistic ethics all those years ago. But I’m not going to pick a fight with those who buy ink by the barrelful. I’m going to take those shots and those pop quizzes and just say that’s okay, those are good testing grounds. And they can continue on in that mode. That’s good. That makes somebody work even harder. It makes somebody be even clearer and more articulate in their positions. So really I don’t fight it. I invite it.
