If Palin Has So Much "Experience" Why Can't She Face Journalists & Media Scrutiny?

[KittyWampus]

Why is she having to do a cram season with Republican operatives?

[Bicoastal]

1. She's a woman and thus very fragile and vulnerable whilst constantly in the process of childbirth...

...in other words, the Republican's ideal woman.

[vaberella]

2. Because she's been wanting to ask what the President does all day? n/t

3. Now HERE is the crux of the bisquit.

4. THANK. YOU.

Its not hypocrisy from the right - its chaff. Currently they are throwing as much chaff in the air as possible trying to obscure the truth that;

Sarah Failing is a complete political lightweight with fascist tendencies and John McCain has once again exhibited the kind of frightening decision making that will doom our nation should he be elected president.

5. I agree.

It would have been different if McCain had chosen someone like Bobby Jindal...a somewhat inexperienced "rising star", but he has at least been available to the media and answered questions....I find it appalling that Sarah has not even done one Meet the Press. And I suspect if she DOES, Brokaw will go easy on her. So many of the talking points used by McCain surrogates for Palin have already been knocked down...it's bizarro land. All of the sudden, the Republican party has a new figurehead just because of what we are TOLD about her "values". As Mark Whitaker from NBC said today "Even the Republican party is just getting to know Sarah Palin now..."

6. I asked this very same question last night, why hasn't she been on the sunday talking head shows, I

might add, when they talk of taking it easy on her, do you suppose the terrorist will? throw their terrorist bullshit right back at them!

12. Look at the way Putin smacked around Condoleeza Rice...will she get better treatment?

I don't think she will be ready for any of the media scrutiny or the public unleashed on her.

They can put that woman crap up if they want to (she's a lady) but Hillary Clinton was knocked around with a lead bat...there is no way this Palin woman should expect less.

7. They're getting the spin up, wont talk about investigation. She'll avoid media for a long long time

8. They treat the media like they own them....wait, they DO own them.

9. i want ms palin to face the media and answer questions about her positions on foreign affairs,

such as iraq, iran et al.

[VWolf]

11. Meanwhile, Obama is willing to go on O'Lielly

Who's the one with experience & intestinal fortitude?

I want to see Palin do an interview with Randi Rhodes.
I want to see McCain do an interview with Thom Hartman.
