So should we all. Let them peddle their Viagra and Zoloft somewhere else...
They say when you break up with a loved one...everything on tv/radio seems to be about love. When someone dies there is nothing but death. I guess when you are a right wing lunatic who blindly follows your party over a cliff like a lemming.......everyone in the media seems to be against you.

Pretty lame excuse for someone who is supposed to be our next VP AND has the argument of you don't know me so don't judge me. They honestly thought people would be happy with watching her jellybean with a foreign head of state? Is the next round of press visits going to be her interaction with the lunch people or if she has to use the restroom? This is a farce!

While I am not an Obama fan by any stretch but for you to honestly think this is okay shows me that you could care less about your vote counting and more about just have a Republican in office no matter who it is. Do you care at all about this country?

This reflects big time on McCain. He continues to raise the middle finger at Americans.

Yeah...Country First for sure...

She is a disgrace and she will be the main reason he loses... a direct reflection of McCain's judgement.

God I hope you're right. Can you imagine if they won.

I'm so embarrassed of her.

I have no emotional attachment to Tom Jerrold. I think your love may be misplaced.

The farce is the biased coverage the media is giving to this election. Ms. Palin is treating them with the contempt they deserve. I say you go girl. And I very very rarely say that.

I live in a state so blue that it may now be technically illegal for me to vote for anyone other than Obama. My inclination to resist that lemming-like attitude could hardly be described as not caring about the country by anyone other than a hate-freak who enjoys making jokes about incest in the Palin family while claiming to be free from bias....

Are they just going to ignore anything they are afraid of?

Regardless of political ideology, I tip my hat to anyone who tells the media to "**** off."

You know you have gone too far when Fox news is against the Republican candidate (source: ABC news online, italics and bf mine):

The networks, including ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox fiercely objected to the McCain campaign's apparent effort to try to shield Palin from questions.

Palin has relented.
Perhaps they FINALLY realized how STUPID the decision was.
