It will be all scripted like her speech at the RNC. ABC (Disney) knows that McCain will punish the station if he doesn't ask the right questions. Is this going to be edited? I noticed the announcement said "series of interviews" so this sounds to me like a Barbara Walters show, not Meet The Press!

edit: What I meant in my above statement is that when Campbell Brown pressured Tucker Bounds on some issues regarding Palin's background, McCain canceled his scheduled appearance on Larry King Live.

I'm sure after her big gaffe regarding Fannie Mae yesterday, they will be even more careful. The scary thing is that most people don't care. Why else would anyone want to see her on Oprah? I want to hear her answer important questions about her background & accomplishments and her views on current issues.

Charles Gibson got the interview because he is one of the few journalist left on the alphabet networks that has any class. He's as close to neutral as it gets IMO.

Why can Palin choose when he gets to talk to her? Because HE wants to interview her. Did Bill O'Reilly get to choose when he interviewed Obama?

That's why I laughed when I first heard about it...Charley, such a hard hitter...

I wonder if they'll actually slowly sink into baby talk...ya, know..""oh sugar lumpkins, how can a sweet widdle thing like you kill a big ol moose?!"


I think I'll give it a miss...

So they throw McCain-like tantrums when obama didn't release his birth certificates.

So they question his success at Columbia when obama didn't release his college records.

Why aren't they questioning about Palin's unwillingness to talk to the press?

If you're suspicious threshold is so low, Palin's unwillingness to talk to the press ought to throw your suspicious detector out of wack.

The Associated Press: No questions, please; Palin sticks to her script (broken link)

Thank you! I keep saying that over and over again. Even Michelle Obama was pressured to release her college records, wasn't she? I remember the controversy about her doctoral thesis .. and she isn't even running for office.

A step up from the Fox expose of her I suppose. They are slowly going to dip her feet in the water and then analyze the hell out of it before letting her do any real interviews. To me, this comes across as weak.

why do i have the feeling that they'll give her all of the questions beforehand so that rove can program her responses to lightweight gibson.

i bet you that the next interview goes to powderpuff larry king or one of the 19th century fox clowns.

It has taken Obama more than a year to finally step into unfriendly territory. The guy has been attended softball lobbing interviews at every turn and would not talk to O'Reilly until now.

And he is running for president. A sign of pathetic weakness on his part, and he isn't running for VP, he's trying to be president. Really pathetic.

LOL for the genius political analysts, I think it'll be a nice surprise. Way to go missing the date being 911 all you patriots out there.

911 where she'll be addressing her son's Iraq Deployment Ceremony. With ABC in Alaska.

And when she touched on his deployment on 911 in her convention speech all the creeps in the media jumped on her saying "well technically he's not deploying on 911 it's only the deployment ceremony".

America recognizes true Americans and all these media phonies and internet Obamafascists don't qualify. They qualify for hate mongers and celebrity champions without even looking at the record or caring about the record. Or lack of one.
