In what may be the most damaging of the slow but sure dissemination of the CBS News Katie Couric interview with Sarah Palin, the Republican Vice Presidential nominee was unable to name all of her kids' names.
Transcript follows:
Katie Couric: And when it comes to establishing your family view, I was curious: what are the names you use when you want to speak to your children?
Sarah Palin: I've spoke with most of them, again with a great appreciation for my children, my family, for the younger people who live with me.
KC: But, like, what ones specifically? I'm curious.
SP: All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years.
KC: Can you name a few?
SP: I have a vast variety of children and of course, they all have names. Mu family isn't a foreigner’s family, where, it's kind of suggested and it seems like, 'Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of what children in Washington, D.C. may be named when you live up there in Alaska?' Believe me, my Alaskan family is like a microcosm of most American’s families. Did I mention, Katie, that I can see many of my children from my house.
