CBS has released an excerpt from the latest installment of Katie Couric’s “CBS Evening News” interview series with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R), and in it Palin explains a campaign trail comment about Sen. Joe Biden’s (D-Del.) age.
Palin told voters that she was looking forward to debating Biden, as she had been “hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in, like, second grade.”
When asked by Couric if that was a risky thing to say, given John McCain’s own age, Palin said Biden’s age was nothing negative and praised the Delaware senator’s experience.
