    - I similarly dispute that Kindles are necessarily "greener" than paper books*. - TFox Dec 17, 13:06 9
      - I'm pretty certain they are. Which is different from saying they are without environmental harm. - TWuG Dec 17, 13:16 4
        
        what if I would have gotten my books from the library? -- nm - loosilu Dec 17, 13:21 2
        
        You'd still need to factor in the environmental cost of driving to the library vs the electricity of downloading the book. -- nm - Ender Dec 17, 18:26
        
        We still throw them out by the ton. Just like bookstores who aren't allowed to recycle stripcovers. - Amy Dec 17, 13:22
        
        yes, but most people won't read an entire bookstore's worth of books. so the storage capacity shouldn't matter. -- nm - TFox Dec 17, 13:19
      - I'd think that all depends on how voracious the reader is -- nm - crash davis Dec 17, 13:08 3

In a roundabout way I can understand how Palin viewed Couric's question as an attack but it betrays a deep insecurity. - Reagen Dec 17, 12:52 44
- A fraud knowing she was about to be revealed. She panicked, plain and simple. -- nm - David Dec 17, 13:13 2
  - the scary part to me is that i don't she thinks she's a fraud - grilled cheese pixmas Dec 17, 13:15 1
    - This is sort of my point. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 13:22
- "We don't think you read. Prove us wrong." is just not a line of questioning that a) should ever be percieved as adversarial and b) completely releva - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 17, 12:56 16
  - Why ever not? It's a way for people to get to know candidates. JFK's favorite work of fiction was Ian Fleming's "From Russia With Love". He wasn't - Trish Dec 17, 13:02 3
    - I could have typed that better: I'm saying it is relevant. :) -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 17, 13:04 2
      - *laughing* - Trish Dec 17, 13:12 1
        
        :) -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 17, 13:12
  - It's not adversarial? - Stephen Dec 17, 12:59 6
    - The transcript shows Katie going much easier than I would have. - Amy Dec 17, 13:17
    - I think it was a softball question that Palin should have answered easily, instead she fumbled it. And badly. When a reporters senses weakness... - Remlik Dec 17, 13:02 4
      - I think you've got your sports confused there, champ -- nm - crash davis Dec 17, 13:04 2
        
        you can fumble a catch there sport. -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 13:08 1
        
        hey, I like my metaphors mixed occasionally too -- nm - crash davis Dec 17, 13:12
      - Exacly. It is an easy question: either you read or you don't. If you don't want to be worldly to impress your hick supporters, go ahead and say that -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 17, 13:03
  - Well, hold on. b) is certainly true. but "we don't think you can read" is certainly adversarial. - TFox Dec 17, 12:58
  - it's adversarial. Not that adversarial is wrong for public positions as you note. But it's also not what Couric asked. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 12:58 2
    - Questions that easy are just not adversarial. If you don't read, why should you be embarrased to say so? - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 17, 13:07 1
      - Your phrasing is adversarial. Couric's is not. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 13:08
  - After all conservatives (notably Bush) usually brag about not being worldly like those left or east coast eggheads -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 17, 12:57
- Oh the usual, Cosmo, Redbook, Harlequin Romances I pick up at the airport." - Sarah Palin Dec 17, 12:55
- I don't think Palin is wrong about journalists "attacking" her; however, as you pointed out, she's not able to prove them wrong. -- nm - loosilu Dec 17, 12:53 22
  - I don't either, but in the end the result is that those attacks gave her far more credibility then she should have ever had. - Stephen Dec 17, 13:03 11
    - She was the GOP nominee for Vice-President....if she needed credibility from attacks on her intellect.......... - Will Hunting Dec 17, 13:06 10
      - I didn't say it was deserved... - Stephen Dec 17, 13:12 7
        
        so what's your alternative, that her obvious defects in character and qualification should have been ignored by the media? - Reagen Dec 17, 13:16 1
        
        No, not really. - Stephen Dec 17, 13:44
        
        I'm glad for your last sentence. - Mel Profit Dec 17, 13:16 4
        
        We'd all be much better off (the party, and yes the country) if we didn't "have" to spend so much time dealing with her. - Stephen Dec 17, 13:24 1
        
        there's a lot of useless chatter going on from both ends of the spectrum. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 17, 13:27

      - She'd lose *Alaska*. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 13:09 1
        
        That's not really true...she knows where it is. It's just when she goes there someone else is governing. - Mel Profit Dec 17, 13:10
  - She did score 5 points from me for making Kate Goslin cry. -- nm - Sarah Palin Dec 17, 12:57
  - It's a chicken/egg thing. - Will Hunting Dec 17, 12:56 1
    - Fox tried in 08, though of course that was an R vs D thing - Reagen Dec 17, 12:57
  - I think they stepped it up once they saw just how much there was to attack. -- nm - dogbert Dec 17, 12:55
  - Yes, but it's because she's basically drawn a target on herself. - Reagen Dec 17, 12:55 2
    - every candidate for an office of that stature should pass the same media scrutiny. -- nm - loosilu Dec 17, 12:55 1
      - This is a pipe dream in today's reality. -- nm - Stephen Dec 17, 13:05
  - there's also the reality that that is what journalists are *for*. -- nm - TFox Dec 17, 12:54 2
    - exactly... - Mel Profit Dec 17, 13:00
    - absolutely. -- nm - loosilu Dec 17, 12:54
