Dionne: Don’t dare question Princess Sarah
Newsday ^ | 9/10/08 | EJ Dionne

Posted on 09/10/2008 2:23:22 PM PDT by pissant

John McCain's campaign acknowledged this weekend that Sarah Palin is unprepared to be vice president or president of the United States. Of course, McCain's people said no such thing. But their actions told you all you needed to know. McCain, Barack Obama and Joe Biden all subjected themselves to tough questioning on the regular Sunday news programs. Palin was the only no-show. And it's not just the Sunday interviews. She has not opened herself to any serious questioning since McCain picked her to be next in line for the presidency.

McCain's advisers clearly don't trust Palin to answer questions about policy, and don't want her to answer many of the questions that have been raised about her tenure as governor of Alaska.

Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, gave the game away when he said on "Fox News Sunday" that she would not meet with reporters until they showed a willingness to treat her "with some level of respect and deference." Deference? That's a word used in monarchies or aristocracies.

The new line of attack: Princess Sarah.

Well, EJ, it must feel weird knowing that a fragile little princess can outshoot you, out hunt you, out fish you, out run you, woop yer ass in basketball, fly an airplane, and still look better in a dress and heels than you do.

And Obama won’t debate McCain. When did Newsday run that story?

A thought she was doing a full access, “day in the life” program with Charlie Gibson in Alaska.

Sarah Palin doesn’t have to meet with the media. There is nothing on the books that demand this. If her strategy is to wait for the debates, more power to her.

“The new line of attack: Princess Sarah.”

If Palin is a ‘princess’, it’s a mantle bestowed on her by the people, not one she took for herself. It’s the difference between us and them.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden submitted themselves to the tough “open mic”. That is one tough journalist, I tell you what.

Princess Eugene is just green with envy, mostly because he kissed FrOgbama.

This is rich, those who have anointed the Chosen One, want to crucify any opposition.

This whole post may be accurately copied, however; it is all ... BS ... assumptions, speculations, and no truth in it.

Simply lies and besmirching accusations. The democrats depend on attacking lies, and complete inaccuracies with the idea that if they put our dozens of them ... some people will believe them.

Shame on them.
