After stonewalling for no less than a week...
Sarah Palin finally breaks down and does an interview with Charles Gibson on ABC.
You guys are happy now, right? I'm sure after her snubbing of the press you're just dying to hear what she has to say. This must be such a vindication for everyone who had to endure the past few days counting the seconds until Palin did an interview. I mean, after such a long time it was beginning to look like the press might have forgotten about her. |

what, 8 years of government officials acting without transparency or accountability is not enough for you?
the press plays a critical role for the public in the election process (albeit not very well, but hey, they're all we have). the McCain camp is afraid the press will be adversarial and not sufficiently deferential to Sarah Palin, when in fact, asking hard questions is thier job. from what i've read, Charlie Gibson did a decent job but that should be only the beginning...she shold be able to field questions freely from the press, just like the rest of the candidates (just like any candidate). it's a vetting process of sorts that the press performs for the public and the McCain camp's attempts to shield her from it disrespects the office, insults the voters, and does everyone a disservice. and let's face it: anyone who is critical of this process vis a vis Sarah paliln can only be afraid of what it might reveal about her. if you think she is capable of running the country, then she ought to be able to handle it. |

Clearly, the whole McCain-won't-let-Palin-talk-to-the-press argument was bullshit from the start since she has, in fact, talked to the press, on prime-time network news, no less. I just thought I'd point that out. I'm not critical of the media vetting process, flawed as it is, I'm critical of those like you who are too impatient to wait a mere week to see the process through.

Sorry m8, but you're an idiot. Oh, and so is she. You could almost see the string pulling into her back in some of the questions.
"the U.S. shouldn't 'second guess' what Israel needs to do....what Israel needs to do....needs to do...." Imagine having a Vice President, and then President, who has to study for a canned interview, and refuses to hold a press conference. Oh! But she's on Hannity this week! He'll sure show her!!!!111one Š

From Andrew Sullivan at The Atlantic, writing for The Times:
Quote:
I don't know about you, but I've had enough of lies and empty promises of 'REFORM!' from those who have repeatedly fucked the people of the United States while claiming to hold back the tide of economic depression. Fat cat money boys who are deeply involved with the lobbyists who have deregulated the markets and squandered the future of the people of America for their own benefit. Are you better off? Are you making more at your job and does that job feel secure? Are goods and services costing you less? Is your health care providing for you and your family and has the cost been kept at inflation? Has the 'war in Iraq' made you more secure and will war with Iran make you feel more so? Is the US economy strong and if not, why not? Is our standing in the world better than 8 years ago and if not, why not? Do you want a strong thinker with a background in Constitutional law in the White House and if not, why not? Are you only against an Obama Presidency because he's only 1/2 white? Are you supporting the old and incapable McCain and the new and inexperienced Palin because they're skin color is more acceptable, no matter their lack of policy or, where they have policy, their lack of support for middle America? Are you making more than $250,000 a year and do you honestly think McCain is on your side if you're not? Wake up America, you've run out of lube and can't take another fucking. Š
