How is it that Palin was never a guest on any of the Sunday morning news shows?

[AwakeAtLast]

I understand how the McCain campaign purposely kept her away from them, but how is it that no one has really called them on it? In a media age, keeping yourself away from the media seems to be the way to keep yourself in the race, I guess. x(

1. They hate her!

[saigon68]

2. Because she's really fucking stoopid

Kind of like this creature

[WeDidIt]

3. Because she is a coward. n/t

[MindMatter]

13. That's one thing she is not

She is a fool. She is an airhead. I would not call her a coward.

She is too dumb to recognize the harm she causes in these situations.

The reason she was not on the talk shows is because the McCain strategists realize there is absolutely no upside and they are just plain sick of having her go off with her own self-serving messages. They weren't going to give her that chance. A Civil War going on inside that camp at the end.

4. she only talks to foreign heads of state lol nt

[AwakeAtLast]

6. And only on the phone, not in person!

:rofl:

[Bobbie Jo]

5. Because she is a disaster.

7. Her Sunday Show appearances

are sitting next to her medical records.

8. That's a rhetorical question right? You can't mean you don't know the answer

She's fuckin stupid. They couldn't risk having her interviewed in a live format. Even the typical meet the press softball republican questions like "how much do you love Jayzus" and "how do you spell cat" would have been beyond her meager talents to respond.

9. She is so dumb, I think they took pity on her... an embarrassment to pitbulls!

10. Tim Russert would have pitched a tent outside her house till she talked to him.

And his interview would have left her a quivering mass of jelly.

14. Oh Puh-leese

Let's just let the king of softballs rest in peace.

16. Bullshit.

sad to see such ignorance here at DU over and over and over and over.

[southerncrone]

11. You know what happens when they let her off her leash or out of her cage alone. LOL

She was purposely chosen to be the "fall guy" for this election.
Repukes use women & people of color to do their dirty work & take the blame when things don't work out for them.
I think that McCain knew he had no chance when he picked her, so instead of smear some "hopeful Repub", he picked her. This way all the other Repubs aren't guilty by association with this abysmal campaign & they can run on their own merits without this black mark on their forehead.

12. Because our news media is exceedingly lame and still cowed by the Right Wing ...

... propaganda machine. It is professional negligence that the media hasn't been more critical and vocal about Palin's lack of vetting.

15. She'll git right back to ya...
