Republicans are such whiny little babies. Barack Obama can go onto Bill O’Reilly’s show without putting any limits on Falafel Man whatsoever, yet the babysitters of poor widdle Princess Sarah will only deign to allow ABC’s Charles Gibson to approach her deferentially on hands and knees, asking only those questions personally approved by the McCain campaign’s Steve Schmidt.
Cowards. If they had half the guts their say they do, the McCain camp would send Palin out to do battle with Rachel Maddow.
C’mon, McCainies: You can’t claim that Palin’s a pit bull while coddling her like a Chihuahua. Either put up or shut up — put her on Rachel’s MSNBC show, or snap yer traps shut.
I want to see Sarah Palin defend herself against questions that would be far more fair, cogent, and to the point than anything Falafel Boy spewed at Obama. Hey, she’s a big girl now, she doesn’t need the training wheels.
You know where to find Ms. Maddow: Rachel@msnbc.com. Double-dog dare ya!

new, from Josh Marshall:
>>>”Embrace it!“
Now THAT would be a pleasure to watch.
Yeah, Ms. G.I. Hotshot Topgun sarcastic, innocent moose killing, fatigue-wearing commander-in-chieftress in red lipstick Governoress….double dare you, you coward….can’t???? Won’t all those men let you speak to the country??? Huh? Silence?? Wuss??
Chicken??? Bawk, bawk, bawk????
What a phony liar.
That’d be a great show.
Let’s review the facts, shall we?
She’s not granted an interview yet, except for the farce with Charlie coming up. On her terms.
It would be funny, as in Ha! Ha!, if it weren’t so maliciously planned, which, who am I to judge, so I don’t Know.
I’m hoping this is all really tongue in cheek, or I’d be worried about y’all. And, all ya’ll.
My best advice is Don’t Hold Your Breath.
And speaking of Rachel, does anyone here know if she has the same writers as Keith, ’cause there so much about her delivery that reminds me of him.
I wonder if Charles will ask her “How many jobs did John McCain create with his share of the Bush tax cuts?”
Yer kidding, right?
Not that Charlie would ask any penetrating questions anyways, but, Geez Louise…!
Whiney little bitches I think.
Republicans are terrified of going off-script (how many homes do you own?), so they’re going to control every minute they’re in front of the media for the next two months. Hey, it works for George and Dick. McCain needs to be mocked for locking the doors of the bus.
It will be one after another big distraction storms from the right. All they can do is throw mud, because they’re out of ideas.
Digg it!
The MSM just plays along with their antics.
Dang, Raven! Ya didn’t have anything to say on the last thread? ;-)
PS, because earlier I was talking about affective communication and shared that it’s a good thing to invite dialouge, so…
Am I the only one who her facial expressions and voice
(oh, hell, someone musical help me here for the word that means volume, expression.
That’s all. Just my crazy brain here.
Laughing! Tell it, LS!
The McCain/Palin campaign is about to take another turn. Sarah has flown off to Alaska for her assignation with Charlie Gibson. Watch McCain’s crowds shrink. And he’ll get cranky without his new girlfriend around.
Time to hit them hard for their lies, Obama/Biden. They are liars, cowards, cheats, and liars.
Did I say liars?
A falsetto, staccato, forte, forte, forte??? /s
Why, if I were a percussionist, I’d say Ding! :)
You’re a poet, I think.
Caribou Barbie would be terrified and claim that Rachel was making a pass at her.
If Palin can’t face Rachel how can she face the terrorists?

hey Teddy,
Beyond the Palin will be in Woodside on 9/25 – private fundraiser – Top people – the Siebels
Big Orange
If I had designed that TPM pig, I’d have stuck “McCain/Palin” on the end that doesn’t eat.
You heard about her 4th baby shower?
Larry Persily,who worked for Ms. Palin just said on MSNBC that Palin makes decisions based on gut reaction, just like another Republican we all know and abhor.
The thought of her as CinC is beyond scary.
The MSM media narrative on Palin is changing though. The one thing I disagree with Obama on is his belief that the American people aren’t stupid. They are stupid but I pray not stupid enough to be fooled by the likes of McCain-Palin.
Exactly.
As long as we (and Rachel) are clear on the ground rules:
–Can’t ask about family–she’s got one.
–Can’t ask about sex ed. Don’t believe it that–only experiential learning.
–Can’t ask about stem cell research–special needs child, you know.
–Can’t ask about lipstick. ‘Nuff said.
–And with Track shipping out, I assume she can’t be asked about Iraq.
What’s left? Ethics? Not sure she’s qualified to speak on that, either.
Here comes Hardball again…the one where he slams them…a must see.
nope
I wasn’t here (there).
But don’t you guys know that Rachel is Teh Gay?
A former commenter here and an Alaska resident, Big Mitch, remarked over at the Beach House
Worth a gander!
I think Palin’s little lipstick joke has been thoroughly steamrolled over…it no longer has the smug media perception it had….we won’t be hearing it in the same light anymore. Mission accomplished.
Yup, Tweety makes that exposes John Feenery as the doofus that he is. Worth seeing again actually. How do these liars know what the people at Obama’s rally were thinking? And what does Katie Couric have to do with this?
He knows that but saying it would be, shall we say, politically risky..?
Gullible might be a kinder word and as long as low-info voters are the majority it’s not going to change. I share your hope that too few of them hitch their wagon to McCain/Palin’s star to put them anywhere near the White House. As it is, I’m not sure the U.S. can even recover from Bush/Gheney.
Isn’t everybody in the liberal media? Maybe that’s why Sarah is so a-scared to go near them.
What are you guys smoking that helps you come up with tjis idea? I want some. I mean this is so far fetched that maybe you aren’t smoking, maybe you are freebasing! Palin on Rachel Maddow will happen right about the same time as when Bush says he was wrong about anything.
I’m still reeling from the fact that when I turned on my TV Monday night at 6 pm there on the screen was a true blue American liberal, talking like a liberal, arguing like a liberal and putting forth liberal ideas and comparing them openly and honestly to the modern conservative garbage.
The day Palin goes on Maddow’s show is the day Maddow agrees to marry me.
Palin will appear on Rachel’s show when pigs with lipstick fly.
Tweety kinda made that guy look like Ralph Cramden there didn’t he?
“Hummenuh, hummenuh, hummenuh…”
(I’m really showing my age here, I know)
if anyone else is reading this, please go to the DIGG and give my comment a plus and give ridgeliner7 his thumbs down, thanks.
The only reason Obama went on O’Reilly was because it was going to air during the RNC. And at least O’Reilly tries to be fair, unlike Rachel what’s her name.
Palin=Infectious bacteria
Maddow=Powerful Antibiotic
Personally, I like the idea.
But why would Palin want to be disinfected?
That could be fatal.
Having listened to Rachel’s Air America show for several years, and having seen her in person on the Air America cruise last February (I’ve got a signed photo!), I’m pretty sure what we’re seeing and hearing is all Rachel.
She ain’t goint to talk to a lezzzzzzbiaaaan. Unless…unless she gets something in return. Wonder if Rachel would go to one of those gay conversion services and pull the skirt up over Palin’s head on that shit, too.
Brilliant, I say.
