Now, the problem here &#8212; I think &#8212; is that this entire Couric debacle is setting the bar for Sarah Palin <em>so low</em>, that any performance at Thursday&#8217;s debate that is <strong>the least bit watchable</strong>, without barnburning gaffes, <strong>will exceed expectations</strong>.  And the resulting skewed perception will be: &#8220;<em>Hey, she&#8217;s not that bad.</em>&#8221;  And the blame will return to the <strong>asshole Liberal MainStream Media elitists</strong> who <em>dare</em> back a Vice Presidential candidate into a corner and grill her on what&#8217;s on her coffee table.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Listen as John McCain refuses to answer a direct question numerous times in an effort to mask the fact that he does not know Prime Minister Zapatero of Spain. In his evasive responses, it almost sounds as if McCain is lumping him in with &#8220;those who would do harm to our country&#8221;, and that he&#8217;s not even sure what continent Spain is on. Unbelievable.</p>
<p>Of course, this is only the latest in a string of McCain camp strategies to habitually recite talking points, no matter the situation, and no matter the relevance to the direct question being asked, in an effort to <strong>mask incompetence or lack of knowledge</strong>. (<em>see also</em>: Palin&#8217;s complete &#8220;stump the candidate&#8221; dodging of the &#8220;what specifically is your Foreign Policy experience&#8221; at the Town Hall meeting)</p>
