You be the judge, but as I see it, the only difference between this and a Sarah Palin interview is the part at the end where the questioner calls BS:

Richard:  Maybe. I guess you should have called.

Tommy Boy:  I did call, earlier, when...
using the phone.

R:  Earlier? When was that?
T:  Er... later... When, when... then... I...
ah.., I left a message.

R:  A message?
What number did you call?

 
T:  Two, four, niner, five, six, seven, eigh . . .                   
                  
R:  I can't hear you. You're trailing off.
And did i catch a "niner" in there?  What Were you calling from, a walkie-talkie?
                  
T:  No, it was cordless.
                  
R:  You know what? Don't.
Not here, not now.

Now compare: 

Couric: But can you give me any other concrete examples? Because I know you've said Barack Obama is a lot of talk and no action. Can you give me any other examples in his 26 years of John McCain truly taking a stand on this?

Palin: I can give you examples of things that John McCain has done, that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his leadership abilities. And that is what America needs today.

Couric: I'm just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation.

Palin: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.

Erie, ain't it?
