Gotcha questions asked by interviewers Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric:
Charles Gibson: "Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?"
Sarah Palin: "In what respect Charlie?"
Charles Gibson: "What do you interpret it to be?"
Sarah Palin: "His world view."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Katie Couric: "When it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read...?"
Sarah Palin: "I've read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press..."
Katie Couric: "But what ones specifically? I'm curious."
Sarah Palin: "Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years."
Katie Couric: "Can you name any of them?"
Sarah Palin: "{Long speech about how Alaska isn't a foreign country}"... no shit.
Charles Gibson: "Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?"

If you ask what type of newspapers you read, then I just asked you a gotcha question.
