Sarah Palin learns to play the victim

The e-mails, comments and threats kept pouring in across the for my column, Palin: McCain's version of 'Trust me,' and I knew I'd struck a nerve. But then a couple readers told me how they'd heard about it: The column had been forwarded by Gov. Sarah Palin's people (allegedly) as part of their toddler tantrum on the mean ole media.

That might explain the curious number of people who have written to tell me that I have no right to express opinions in an opinion column.

I am deeply flattered. I would advise them read Anne Kornblut's analysis of what's fair game in elections. Good stuff, especially when you consider that the Hillary Clinton campaign dragged her personal reputation through the mud.

I am utterly sickened by the John McCain campaign's contempt for the American people. No one expressed it better than spokeswoman Nicolle Wallace who declared on MSNBC that the American public doesn't need Palin to answer questions. When Time editor Jay Carney, a friend of McCain's, politely expressed incredulity that Palin would dodge questions from the press, Wallace shrieked, "Who cares!? Who cares? But I mean, like, from who, from you? Who cares? No offense. Who cares if she can talk to Time magazine?"

1. I asked it before in an earlier thread...

and I'll ask it again. Does anyone really expect that they will let her go head-to-head with Joe Biden? They will find some lame excuse to pull her from that debate. I am only hoping that as more questions about her come to light on a daily basis, this silence and hiding her from the media will backfire in a big way. If the M$M shows the video of the Alaskan separatist group talking about her, they will almost have no choice but to let her respond. And that may well be the end of the "The Porcelain Pitbull".

7. Sadly, chances are better that the mainstream media will seize upon the breaking story that

Biden missed four days of kindergarten, and thus has proven that he will not demonstrate the type of attendance record necessary for the VP position.

That story will surface long long before the m$M tell us that their chosen Lady is not worthy.

8. Did anyone expect her to be picked for McCain's running mate?

Being rational will only get you part of the way here. My guess is that they will have to allow at least one "debate". I'm going on my memories of Dan Quayle here.

5. chick chick chiiiiicken palin

"But Palin was noticeably the only member of either presidential ticket to skip the Sunday talk shows today. This makes Palin look weak, despite her proclamations about being a "pit bull with lipstick." Pit bulls ain't afraid of the Eastern Elites in the media; they rip them to shreds. Just ask Ann Coulter. The left is gaining some traction with painting her as a chicken, which is something no candidate, especially a woman, wants."
