Sarah Palin vs Miss South Carolina Teen USA Caitlin Upton
INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT:
Katie
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?
Sarah
Palin: I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press,
for the media.
Katie
Couric: But,
like, what ones specifically? I'm curious.
Sarah
Palin: All of
'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years.
Katie
Couric: Can
you name a few?
Sarah
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 and it seems like, 'Wow, how could you
keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C. may be thinking and doing
when you live up there in Alaska?' Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of
America.
Miss South
Carolina Teen USA for 2007 Quote
Aimee
Teegarden: "Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the
U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?" Upton responded:
Lauren
Caitlin Upton: I
personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some,
uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our
education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such
as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should
help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq
and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future [for our
children].
