This came down as an "alert" from the AP...the latest whine from the Drive Bys.
Palin, while in New York, is meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe. The meetings are scheduled for Tuesday.
The press was told photogs and a camera crew could go in, but no so-called journalists who pretend to be reporters.
Can someone post the crybaby picture?
About freaking time. They need to do more of this!!
It’s not as if she was imposing a cone of silence, simply culling the herd. WTG, Sarah!
Makes perfect sense. The so called reporters getting their panties in a twist....priceless.
The slap heard ‘round the world... lol
The media seriously believes they have “the right” to interrupt her meetings with their junk questions. “Forget” them. (Forget used as substitution for another word)

/sarcasm
Every day this woman gives me yet another reason to love her. She sure wasn’t kidding when she said she wasn’t going to Washington “for their good opinion” she wasn’t kidding.
Isn’t it normal for there to be a photo op and then the parties meet in private? What’s the big deal?
Smart lady. No wonder the UN didn’t want her to speak. I think the Hillary snafu was planned. The UN didn’t want her speaking because the little Iranian looney toon would wet his pants in front of his little despot friends. She scares leftists here and overseas!! HAHAHAHA
GO SARAH!!!!!!
Lord, please, please let it be your will that this woman gets elected.
Press getting schooled by using the fine art of natural consequences.
A brilliant move...
Sorry media...no terrorists allowed.
Bravo!
She wasn’t going to speak at the UN. She was to speak at an Iranian protest rally sponsored by a coalition of Jewish groups. She was disinvited following Hillary’s withdrawal and threats by lawyers for the Rats that any sponsoring group would have its IRS non-profit status investigated if Palin appeared. Pure thuggery.
Too bad. Not a good decision.
Which will p*ss them off even more and cause even more rants. Won't hurt her a bit.
Long overdue.
Ironic that a "small town incompetent girl, from a 'small state', with no experience" is the one that has the b**** to do it.
Dubya came close, rearranging the White House Press corps.
Our system demands open meetings, but it does not require us to indulge delusional "correspondents", aka domestic terrorists.
Way to go, Sarah!
It’s a meeting, not a press conference, fgs.
And they turn everything into a circus, so based on past behavior they should not be let in.
Good for you girl!
I wouldn’t want them there either.
McCain/Palin 2008!!!
Not at all. This is a diplomatic press opportunity. No need to have the press pepper her with irrelevant questions. I expect she will be let loose shortly after the VP debate. Frankly, its McCain I worry about shooting from the hip.
“Too bad. Not a good decision.”
It’s a great decision. When she does something like this she marginalizes the mediabots, looks decisive, gains respect in the eyes of the world leaders AND the US voters, and shows she will do the right thing no matter who thinks what, which is what people are looking for this year.
Is that the CryBaby with the Fasel inductor?
I own a CryBaby wah. :)
The next development I hope to see...
No freaking monologues!
What is it about "question" that they don't understand?
I hope Sarah introduces the "Palin Doctrine"; Numnutz can figure out what it is, but I'll tell the rest of you:
When a loser begins running off at the mouth in lieu of a question, The Vice president moves on with a casual, Next question, please? Yes, you in the back with the suit, haircut and tie..."
I think the world is seeing just HOW tough Sarah Barracuda
can be! Go girl!!!
To quote Robert Gates at the 2007 USNA graduation:
...the Founding Fathers wisely understood that the Congress, a free press and a nonpolitical military are needed in a free country.
“The press is not the enemy and to treat it as such is self-defeating,” he said.
The bid deal is that the MSM will not be allowed to shout questions whose singular purpose is to provoke a defensive response from the world leaders Governor Palin is meeting with. An example might be, "President Karzai how does it feel to meet with a Vice-Presidential candidate with so little experience on the world stage?". Or, "President Uribe are you concerned that this redneck from Alaska won't understand anything you are talking about?"
The pissy babies from the MSM can kiss my azz.
EXACTLY!
No monologues...”Governor Palin, it has been said that you are naive and completely unqualified to be Vice President and that you banned books in Wassila, now tell us how you feel about the color blue?”
I’m glad they are taking this approach, the press corpse has gotten out of hand and they should not be pandered to.
I always keep the Fry Baby picture handy.
Wait a minute...
I think everybody at the UN is fully aware of this. The idea for making sure the "reporters" were not allowed in probably arose in that venue as the steam does from a hot kettle of water.
Yes, years of being the media's darling have really helped McCain, haven't they?
Gates is right, were we talking about the 1950s. Today's media is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party, and it must be opposed in the same manner.
There should be no closed door meetings. Closed door meetings involving government officials has brought us nothing but disaster.
Outside of meetings involving national security issues, I personally feel *all* meeting involving those in government should be recorded, monitored and made public in real time.
Free press? Sure!
Free from restraint to publish? Yes, usually.
Free to intrude wherever and whenever they please? Like a self-appointed fourth branch of government? No. The constitution makes no such guarantee, and based on their behavior lately, they don’t deserve favors.
“Lord, please, please let it be your will that this woman gets elected.”
Amen to that! The Lord is raising up prayer warriors all over America to pray for the right outcome of this election and for the protection of McCain, Palin, and their families.
GO SARAH!!!
Absolutely.
Gates is wrong and Paling is right?
IRT this, I trust his instincts above hers.
Good. Obviously they take these meetings seriously ....unlike some candidates who use such meetings as nothing more than photo ops.
Well, they’ve certainly turned into the enemy.
I love it.
Permission to steal it?
