What Joe Should Say about Sarah
Some say the democrats should ignore Sarah Palin. I disagree. They
can't get the press to treat her like any other pol if the campaign
won't. Here's what Joe Biden should say about Sarah Palin
Do you know how many questions Sarah Palin has taken from the press since she's been nominated? One. That's right one.
If Sarah Palin is so tough, how come she's afraid of George Stephanopolous?
If Sarah Palin is prepared to be president, how come she's not even prepared for an interview with Katie Couric?
The
McCain campaign says that Sarah Palin needs to be treated with
"deference" by the press. Why? They don't treat me with deference. Do
you think Vladimir Putin will treat her with deference? Let's get real.
If
she was really prepared, she wouldn't have to hide out and learn what
she's supposed to say. If she was really prepared she wouldn't need
puff pieces from the press, she'd have to answer the real questions.
She'd
have to answer why she supported a group that wanted her state to
secede from the union. Why she raised taxes as mayor. Why she says she
opposes earmarks, when she aggressively sought them. She would have to
answer why she thinks girls should be forced to have rapists babies.
And she'd certainly need to answer when she learned what a Vice President does all day.
There are lots of questions. But she's hiding from them. What does that say?
