1. Someone from the press asked her how she was feeling today...
and 10 campaign surrogates and staffers immediately complained of "gotcha" questions.

7. mccain thinks he's so clever
getting out the "Gotcha" meme on Katie Couric's show.

This is what a loser looks like going down.

2. So, it's okay to be a whining female politician, as long as your surrogates do your whining for you?

6. Damn straight they are, that is their job. To ask questions and get answers.
Too bad she can't ever answer a question. But no, no victim here, just someone running for high office that needs to be able to answer questions.

5. I wouldn't care even if they WERE "gotcha" questions.

If asking for specific examples of claims you've made (McCain's alleged pro-regulation stance in the Senate) or names of newspapers you've read amount to "gotcha" games, then you're obviously an idiot in the first place.

Q: Governor Palin, what is your middle name?
A: It's my middle name, you know, the name my parents gave me between my first name and my last name, and my experience is that, you know, it's a middle name.
Q: But what, specifically, is that name?
A: It's part of my identity, you know, I'm a regular person with a middle name just like, like, a middle name like the American voter.
Q: Again, not to belabor the point, but what, exactly, is your middle name?
A: I'm not going to play these "gotcha" games, so, you know, I won't dignify this "gotcha" journalism.
