Sarah, you are not alone.

Sarah, meet Stephane, he feels your pain. A few weeks ago you suffered through a poor interview experience with Katie Couric. For consolation, Sarah, check out Canadian Prime Minister hopeful Stephane Dion. He badly, badly flubbed an interview on Canadian television. The interviewer had to repeat to him three times a question about the economic crisis.

But it looks like one of his opponents, Stephen Harper, and the rest of his Conservative party overdid their glee at Dion's flub. And now there is a backlash of Canadian opinion against Harper for having too much Schadenfreude. This is the problem with shorter elections in Canada. Less practice. When Sarah flubbed, Obama knew to ignore it and let the Pundits and SNL express the Schadenfreude glee.

So, Sarah, take heart, there are a lot of politicians giving inept answers all over this glorious continent!
