How dare you....

This interview has sparked quite a controversy. I had sent it to a few people before but this is really uncomfortable to watch. If you couple this speech with the New York Times article about what McCain learned about Sarah Palin AFTER he had picked her as his running mate.

According to NPR, this interview is what has sparked the McCain campaign to fight against the media which again is in stark contrast to what McCain used to call the media, "my base." Remember when this whole thing started and he was having BBQs and invited them on the "Straight Talk Express?" Well, Candidate McCain has change again. Now the media is evil. In retribution to the above interview, John McCain pulled out of the Larry King Show and has started on this crusade of how the media is 'liberal' and out to get him and poor Sarah.

Question of the day: If Chelsea Clinton would have been pregnant as a teenager, do you think the GOP and conservative would have given her the free pass the Palin has received? This whole situation kind of reminds me of how we can't ask McCain hard questions because he was a POW. So we can't challenge McCain on anything because he was a POW and we can't challenge Pallin because she is a woman and her daughter is a pregnant and yet there wasn't a single piece of policy in McCain's address last night. What can we challenge them on? Hair color or cut?

I also find it odd that Palin has not given a single interview yet. She is officially 'unavailable' to the press because she doesn't know anything yet. She has to be primped and preened by McCain's people and they have to have her ready for the debates. They don't want her to go on TV or in the press and say something stupid.
