Rumors are coming out that some media members are angry because Republican vice president nominee Sarah Palin is unavailable for interviews. If only they were a play-by-play broadcaster for a summer collegiate baseball team in Alaska, maybe they would have more success. OK, so maybe it was because this interview didn’t take place when Palin was just the governor of Alaska and not the V.P. nominee. Either way, the video of this interview is worth a watch.
In the interview Palin briefly discusses her love of sports and growing up in Alaska. She also talks about attending summer baseball games. The play-by-play guy, Donny Baarns, is reading from a list of notes for things to ask Palin as he scatters in some actual play-by-play announcing from the game. Then Baarns proceeds to blindside Palin with a question that no media member now would ever ask. “How many politicians have you wanted to shoot?” Baarns asked, after hearing that Palin was a lifetime N.R.A. member. Palin laughed and responded with, “No comment.” But, wouldn’t you love to hear that answer?
Check out the full five-minute plus video interview after the jump.
