Couric and Gibson Are Not Real Journalists Like Me

TW: So says Ms. "Dave" Palin in interview with right-wingnut Hugh Hewitt (he deserves his own separate post of derision but am just not up for it right now). This woe is me strategy is so pathetic.

From the interview (done in the Hannity/Hewitt prosecutorial style)
"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."
