Palin responded to over eighty of the ABC newsman's questions with only three answers, believed to be a record for a nationally broadcast interview with a major political figure. <<"Terrorists are hell-bent on destroying us," Gov. Palin said no fewer than nineteen times. <<"I believe that America must do what we can to be strong," she said fifteen times. <<"Reply hazy - try again," she said nine times. <<Occasionally, she attempted an adlib, usually the word "Charlie," which she used over one thousand times. <<All in all, Gov. Palin said she was "pleased as punch" by her performance, despite having told Mr. Gibson that the United States should invade Russia. <<When asked by reporters where she got her answer to the Russia question, Gov. Palin replied, "My Magic 8-Ball got stuck on that one, so I asked God.">>

I particularly like: >>In Week Before Labor Day, Pointless 'Filler' Columns Abound Lazy Columnists Pad Out Stories by Quoting Experts, Experts Say<< >>Athlete without Compelling Personal Drama Expelled from Olympics Diver Hid Details of Intact Family <<
