As for my running mate, you can be certain that wherever he goes, and whoever is listening, John McCain is the same man. I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment.< br> And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.

But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.

McCain, Barack Obama and Joe Biden all subjected themselves to tough questioning on the regular Sunday news programs. Palin was the only no-show.

Seems like Obama didn't do so hot, E.J. - two signficant gaffes. Maybe he needs to take a break and bone up with his handlers.

E.J, Sarah has given ABC an exclusive, no holds barred interview! And the Sunday morning MSM roundtable - NO ONE WATCHES THEM! Get a grip - you MSMers are so overrated in your own eyes. The American people DESPISE you!

poor media, Palin is not at their beckon call.

To think they spent all their time in the last few months digging dirt on Romney, Huckabee, and others only to have all their work blown away as Palin is the person who is running with McCain

the media are acting like little children who doesn’t want to share a toy

What a load of horse manure.. I read that Biden waited at least 12 business days after being nominated before his first appearance on a TV News Show, Palin, only 8. (numbers may be wrong, but that was the basic jist.)

Palin was all over the place Sunday, speaking to tens of thousands of people. The media is very egotistical in thinking she must speak to them to be vetted.

John McCain's campaign acknowledged this weekend that Sarah Palin is unprepared to be vice president or president of the United States...McCain, Barack Obama and Joe Biden all subjected themselves to tough questioning on the regular Sunday news programs. Palin was the only no-show.

So in E.J.'s world, the primary role of the President is to go on Sunday talk shows. And he's lecturing US about Palin's readiness?

She’s brushing up on national and international issues. At the moment, she is FAR more valuable on the campaign trail, drawing large crowds and raising $$$.

But their actions told you all you needed to know

Yes, E.J. and your actions have told us all we need to know about you, as well.

Oh, never mind, I saw this was the Washington Compost.. the paper that has pushed out half the smears on Palin with no fact checking.. they’ve already embarrassed themselves by showing they don’t vet their own stories.

Dear Mr. E. J. Dionne Jr.,

Sarah is out getting to know the people of America and busy reading up on how to “field dress” a jackass!

Regards,

Why do some liberals in the MSM keep pushing this story that McCain did not go through a thorough vetting process with Sarah Palin? Isn’t talk of the vetting of veep candidates “inside the Beltway” stuff that average voters don’t care about? Do these journalists from inside the Beltway really think that on election day, some voters will have doubts about the McCain/Palin ticket because the vetting wasn’t done the way the liberals would have wanted it done????????

"tough questioning"

LOL

Let me set the questions for Zer0bama, I'll show you tough questioning.

we'll start with 0be outlining the top 10 changes he's effected during his legislative time (1. Voted present >100 times. 2. ....., etc)

Is 0be familiar with the sound of crickets chirping (would make a great ad)?

Operational Art dictates you to fight the fight you want...not the one orchestrated by outside sources. She’ll meet these clowns on she and John’s terms and not a minute sooner. I think it was a brilliant move to withhold her last weekend. Helps to put those POS’s in their place.

I would like to know where it says that anyone has to sit down with the media. I hope Gov. Palin continues to refuse to let them tear her down. She has no obligation to let them interview her. The American people already know her.

E.J. Dionne is the journalistic equivalent of a cat whose tail has been stepped on. E.J. is screeching because he doesn t like what he sees. He's right; the rest of America is wrong.

The fact that America does not agree with him drives him nuts. But he cannot recognize the facts in front of him. He would have to recognize that his whole, public career was a fraud.

Dionne is fast approaching the end of a long, complicated, and failed career. Of course he has is panties in a bunch. Poor dear.
