The moose ate her homework

It's here!

And another interesting moment from the Couric interview that will likely be overshadowed by the above video:

(From Ben Smith's blog)

"But legally-minded readers point out something that really is a truer gaffe.

COURIC (to Palin): Do you think there's an inherent right to privacy in the Constitution?
PALIN: I do. Yeah, I do.
COURIC: The cornerstone of Roe v Wade.
PALIN: I do. And I believe that --individual states can handle what the people within the different constituencies in the 50 states would like to see their will ushered in in an issue like that.

As Couric notes in the exchange, Palin appears actually to support Roe. Or, rather, to be a results-oriented conservative -- she's against abortion rights -- rather than having even the ability to pretend to base it on Constitutional law."
