CBS - PALIN'S APPEARANCE IS A TURKEY

PALIN'S APPEARANCE IS A TURKEY

Another TV appearance by Alaska Gov. Sara Palin has hit YouTube. During an interview conducted in her hometown of Wasilla after she "pardoned" a local turkey, a number of other turkeys are seen being slaughtered in the background. The interview, accompanied by the butchering, continues for about three minutes. Meanwhile, CBS anchor Katie Couric has responded to Palin's characterization of her now-notorious interview with her that was lampooned on Saturday Night Live and elsewhere. Appearing on David Letterman's Late Show Thursday night, Couric responded to Palin's complaint that she found it "a little bit annoying" when Couric asked her, "'What do you read up there in Alaska?'" Palin went on to say, "I read the same things that you guys read in New York, and there in L.A. and in Washington state. ... What do you mean what I read up there?" Couric told Letterman that she had made not reference to Alaska, merely asking Palin what newspapers she read. "And I'm not sure whether she was afraid to offend certain people by, you know, she would offend conservatives by saying she read the New York Times."
