MSM - get a backbone and call out Palin when she avoids questions with "Inside Baseball" card.
Edited on Wed Nov-12-08 12:24 AM by ROh70
The way she avoids answering questions by saying she's not into the "inside baseball" campaign in-politics is absolutely ridiculous. She's the VP candidate, for godssakes. She's SUPPOSED to be aware of the inside baseball stuff, because she and McCain are the top players inside the campaign.

Essentially, she's saying she was ignorant of the infighting among the McCain-Palin campaign staff. Uh, Sarah, that actually makes you seem like a shitty leader, someone who either can't keep the staff in line, or is the one stoking the flames and instigating the infighting.

Either way, her failure to know the "inside baseball" stuff is an indictment of her incompetence and political naivete. She's admitting to be an ignorant Manchurian candidate, a candidate being run and controlled by the campaign staff, and not the other way around.

Get that, Matt Lauer and other members of the MSM? Next time Palin says she won't talk about the campaign infighting because she's just not into all that "inside baseball stuff," CALL HER ON IT!!! Follow up by asking, "But, aren't you the leader of the campaign? If there's infighting among campaign staff members, shouldn't you actually want to know about "inside baseball" stuff and bring your campaign under control?

What does it say about you as a leader if you are ignorant of the conflicts tearing your staff members apart?

1. She thinks that appearing "naive" will make her more appealing.
