Oh, sorry. I misread your post. I thought it was a JPC with Karzai and SP.

Thanks for posting and linking, though!

"There were two of us in that office, and there were two of us in my office, and one of us became president," Sarkozy said.

No. 6 from Britt's 14 points of Fascism:

6. Controlled Mass Media -- Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by
government regulation, or through sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in wartime, is very common.

This was back in friggin July for crying out loud. Do you think Obama has done many interviews and press conferences before AND after this - like a gazillion. The reason this is a big deal is that Mayor Palin has NEVER EVER done a national press conference and has done only 1 real interview and one love fest with Hannity.

"Sarah Palin threatened to ban all reporters from her first-ever meetings with world leaders Tuesday"

FOX News.

Oh joy. Wouldn't the Founders love this. How many of them worked for, ran, wrote and used printing presses? This could to turn out bad.

I think the fact that they are keeping Palin from the press is killing McCain. Its evidence she is not experienced and less experience than Obama.

You people certainly understand fear, but it isn't on Sarah's part, it's on the part of all of you demo's who continue to post about her. If she is as bad as you would like to think, just forget about her, it will all be over soon enough.
Unfortunately for you, you can't do that because you are struck dumb with fear,and know she is going to be your next VP, and after eight years, she will be your president for eight more.
Don't be sad, by that time you will love her and tell people you were for her all along, so you won't look as foolish as you really are.
Rejoice, Sarah and John will save all of us, even the ignorant ones...

Chen had it right, McCain used to tout the Straight Talk Express, but it's become the No Talk Express.

Rejoice, for ye know not from whom ye seek saving....
