Another day, another chance to see Katie Couric trap Sarah Palin in a rhetorical bind. This time Couric called out Palin for making a joke about Joe Biden’s age when her running mate, John McCain, is 72-years old. The best part is Palin’s explanation that her joke meant Americans need change over experience, and that’s what she represents in comparison to Joe Biden. Hmmm… Isn’t that Barack Obama’s line?

Another quote from inside the video itself.

Katie Couric: You made a funny comment, you’ve said you have been listening to Joe Biden’s speeches since you were in second grade.
Gov. Palin: It’s been since like ‘72, yah.

Katie Couric: You have a 72-year-old running mate, is that kind of a risky thing to say, insinuating that Joe Biden’s been around awhile?

Gov. Palin: Oh no, it’s nothing negative at all. He’s got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we’ve been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he’s got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I’m the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he’s got the experience based on many many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years.

To be fair to Mrs. Palin, 72 is the new 42, making Barack Obama so young he’s just another one of those damn whipper snappers who just won’t get off my lawn!
