Americans have funnier political cartoons!
Every notice how difficult it is to find a funny Stephen Harper, Jack Layton or Stephane Dion cartoon? What does that say about Canadian politics?

Sarah Palin Has Trouble Again With Katie Couric

Sarah Palin may have survived Charlie Gibson, but she’s having a tougher time with Katie Couric, who’s taken hits herself from people who said she was a lightweight.
Things got a little heated when Couric sat down with McCain and Palin for their first joint interview together, a piece that aired on last night’s evening news. Couric interviewed Palin separately last week.
Couric asked about a comment Palin made over the weekend at a restaurant, when asked if the U.S. should launch attacks into Pakistan: “If that’s what we have to do to stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should,” she said.
Couric pointed out McCain has said that’s something you don’t say “out loud.” When she asked Palin if she was sorry she had said that, McCain interrupted: “Wait a minute. Before you say, ‘Is she sorry she said it,’ this was a ‘gotcha’ sound bite . . .”
Couric also asked Palin about the “flak” she’s gotten since their last interview. Palin replied she’s “not only ready but willing and able to serve as vice president.”
The former NBC “Today” show host, in a short skirt, was flashing her famous gams in the interview while former beauty queen Palin wore a conservative pantsuit. Last week, Palin fumbled when Couric asked how John McCain has reformed Wall Street and why Alaska’s proximity to Russia counts as foreign-policy experience. A CBS News-New York Times poll last week showed Palin’s unfavorable rating up among women.
