Yes those were the words I wanted to scream aloud when I read this next story.

Palin revises judges, newspaper answers - Yahoo! News

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin clarified two of her more memorable gaffes this week involving Supreme Court cases and her reading habits.

In an interview with CBS’s Katie Couric earlier this week, Palin was unable to list a decision other than Roe v. Wade that she disagrees with, but in an interview with Fox News on Friday, Palin listed the recent Kennedy v. Louisiana death penalty case as well as the court’s 2005 controversial eminent domain decision in Kelo v. City of New London.

Sorry, just not buying what she is selling today. How hard was it for her with these cases that it took her research staff two days to come up with an answer and prep her to talk about it. I am sorry name a supreme court case other than Roe v. Wade simply wasn’t a tough question. If she couldn’t name any of the other abortion cases that followed, much less touch on them by saying, “Oh you know the abortion case a few years back that did… Sorry I am blanking on the name at the moment, forgetful me not being a Washington elitist,” then I have a hard time believing she came up with these on her own.

Now she also claims she reads the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist, yet the day she was asked she couldn’t even say she reads her local paper online. When it takes you four days to come up with the names of the biggest most prominent news sources in the country, I just don’t believe her. I want to question her on those sources. I want to check for reading comprehension. This from a journalism Major. I just don’t buy it.
