What a combative interview! I only watched the second video, but I didn't see what the problem with her responses. It's a pretty complicated issue and whoever did the interview was clearly not trying to get at what she thinks, but was trying to get a gaffe out of her. No luck on that one.
The interviewer didn't know what she was talking about on the deregulation bit about McCain. He was a co-sponsor of the 2005 bill that would have prevented the Freddie and Fannie mess. Palin responded with that, but the interviewer just went back to the deregulation theme.
Palin's mistake was allowing her to do that. She should have just stuck with the S-190 bill from 2005.
Meanwhile, Obama spends 20 years with a racist maniac as his mentor and that's all washed away with one speech that was operative for what, 6 weeks? Please.
I've given this more thought. Doesn't Sarah Palin come across as someone who is weighing every word? Between the antagonistic interview and her effort to be gaffe-free, the whole interaction is odd. It's not an interview so much as a sparing match.
Of course, her opposite number is Joe Biden, the fellow who has inspired the New Republic's Joe Biden Gaffe-O-Meter.

Jonah Goldberg, right wing hack had this to say about Joe:
And let's not forget Biden, whose gaffes are the unavoidable byproduct of his limitless gasbaggery. Biden could shout on "Meet the Press," "Get these squirrels off of me!" and the collective response would be, "There goes Joe again." But if Palin flubs the name of the deputy agriculture minister of Kyrgyzstan, the media will blow their whistles saying she's unprepared for the job.
