Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric- Part 2

Copyright © 2008 Creators Syndicate

Katie Couric (KC): Gov. Palin, how do you keep yourself updated on current affairs?

Sarah Palin (SP): I read newspapers and magazines regularly…In fact I read two newspapers a day…

KC: Which ones?

SP: You know the regular ones…

KC: Can you name them?

SP: Katie, I told you I read…I just can’t remember the names at the moment…You know Alaska is not in Africa – we are a part of America…We get all the newspapers and magazines you get here in New York…Can we move on, please?

KC: Do you remember the names of books you have read?

SP: The Alaskan Christian Evangelical Bible comes to mind at the moment...

KC: Gov. Palin, I’ve read that when you were the Mayor of Wasilla you wanted some books removed from the town library…Why?

SP: Please note that I did not have any books removed…I merely tried…Katie, you must realize that some books like the Harry Potter series, most of Shakespeare, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and A Clockwork Orange are not meant to be read – they are morally bankrupt and un-Christian…

KC: Aren’t morals personal? Shouldn’t people be allowed to make up their own minds?

SP: Absolutely not…There is only one set of morals that is acceptable and that is the Christian Evangelical one…

KC: I heard that you were also trying to ban health books and magazines…Why go after these?

SP: I don't want children and young adults to be exposed to such books and magazines…They are nothing but porn…They poison young minds…They talk about sex and sexuality, pregnancy, abortion etc. …Do you know Katie, these books even have pictures of nude men and women?

KC: But these books are educational…Don’t you think if your 17 year old daughter Bristol had read Our Bodies, Ourselves by Boston Women's Health Book Collective, she would not be having a shotgun wedding?

Katie Couric (KC): Gov. Palin, I’ve read that you believe in American Christian Creationism?

Sarah Palin (SP): Creationism is not a theory, it’s the truth…God clearly mentions it in the bible…

KC: So you believe that the Earth is less than 7000 years old…In that case dinosaurs and humans must have walked the Earth at the same time…

SP: Absolutely…I’ve seen pictures of dinosaur fossils with human footprints in them…

KC: Where have you seen these pictures? I would like to see them too…

SP: Oh, I don’t remember…I read so many books, newspapers and magazines…

KC: Since you claim to be an expert on energy, where do you think oil and coal came from?

SP: The Great Flood 4400 years ago laid down all the layers of sediment at once...That's how we got oil and coal...

KC: OK…You could potentially have your hand on the nuclear button…Do you believe in the Doomsday Scenario when the Messiah will come?

SP: Yes, I’m absolutely positive I’ll see Jesus come back to Earth in my lifetime… “End times” which precedes the end of the world was confirmed in 1948 with the founding of the state of Israel…It marked the Jews' return to the Holy Land, fulfilling a Biblical prophecy…I believe that by tapping into Alaska's natural resources we will help fulfill the state's destiny as the refuge for Christians when the world comes to an end...

KC: If the world comes to an end, won't Alaska also be doomed?

SP: No, only Alaska and white believers will survive...

KC: What are your views on the current war against Iraq?

SP: It is all a part of God’s plan…He put George W. Bush in office so that he could start the “holy war” against Muslim terrorists…It’s a war of Gods… Anybody who criticizes the war and Bush will burn in hell…
