More of Palin and CBS' Katie Couric
Do you think the coverage of you has been sexist?
Governor SARAH PALIN: No, I don't. I mean, I know that there--it's obvious
there's some double-standards here, you know, in terms of what the media has
been doing, but I think that's more--I think more attributable to just the
media elite, the Washington elite, not knowing who I am and just asking a
whole lot of questions and not so much based on gender though, but based on
just the fact that I'm not part of the Washington herd.
COURIC: I know you're heading to Sedona...
Gov. PALIN: Yes.
COURIC: ...to work on your debate. What is your coach advising you?
Gov. PALIN: I don't have a debate coach.
COURIC: Well, what are your coaches?
Gov. PALIN: I have quite a few people who are giving us information about
the record of Obama and Biden, and at the end of the day, though, it is--it's
so clear, again, what those choices are. Either new ideas, new energy and
reform of Washington, DC, or more of the same.
COURIC: Should creationism be allowed to be taught anywhere in public
schools?
Gov. PALIN: Don't have a problem at all with kids debating all sides of
theories, all sides of ideas that they ever--kids do it today, whether it's on
paper in a curriculum or not. Curriculums also are best left to the local
school districts, instead of big brother, federal government, telling a
district what they can and can't teach.
