Sarah Palin, MIA Amusing moment on CNN just now. Wolf Blitzer, coming out of a commercial: "We've been getting some emails from views out there wondering why we spent some time interviewing Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee and not Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee. We would have loved to interview--we'd still love to interview Sarah Palin. Unfortunately we asked, we didn't get that interview...We're hoping that Sarah Palin will join us at some point down the road." I'm told that Biden appeared on every major network tonight except ABC (which only turned him down because Palin wasn't available, on an equal-time sort of basis). It's pretty strange when a candidate can't trust his own running mate to be out there spinning on his behalf. And it's funny that a lot of McCain supporters seem to think that's about media bias and not the fact that Palin is in lockdown somewhere.

Conservatives have screamed "media bias" for so long that they are panicked by the phantom wolf of their own creations. Sarah Palin is clearly John McCain's biggest mistake. She is the "bubble girl", sequestered from the evil media so that she doesn't say something like "I have oceanographic expertise because I can see the Bering Sea from my house". What a week next week will be: Palin will go from being hermetically sealed off from eveyone to the left of Sean Hannity to being catapaulted into the fires of debate next Thursday. Stay tuned for some more high comedy. I didn't write the above, but it's a good post nonetheless...I am afraid that the mistake is becoming evident... Al
