I have expressed my doubts about Governor Palin on more than one occassion. Her interviews this week and last with CBS News' Katie Couric have only sewn more seeds of doubt in my mind. More than anything, though, I cannot help but express disbelief that the Alaska governor cannot name a single periodical she reads regularly:

Couric: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?

Palin: I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.

Couric: What, specifically?

Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.

Couric: Can you name a few?

Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, "Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?" Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.

Why is she so reluctant to name a magazine? Perhaps she doesn't want to admit she reads Newsweek, whose foreign affairs columnist wrote a scathing article denouncing her this week.
