Cover Time

When I walk into a bookstore I tend to move toward the magazines for a quick browse. Today, when I arrived at the news magazines, I counted Sarah Palin on six covers. Time, Newsweek, The Weekly Standard, People, OK and US Weekly. My initial reaction: Dread that John McCain's pick could help him win the White House or even worse, that she could be the next POTUS.

My second reaction: That's a lot of magazine covers to make for not granting any interviews that matter to the press. I include "that matter" because I think she got an interview with People about the recent birth of Trig. Besides that interview she is off limits because she is undergoing intense training over the next couple of weeks for the position of POTUS.

Laughing. Out. Loud.

Freakin a.

"Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had "gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers." The companies, as McClatchy reported, "aren't taxpayer funded but operate as private companies. The takeover may result in a taxpayer bailout during reorganization."

Whoa. This is why shes not allowed to do interviews.

Check this article out.

Campbell Brown (CNN) asked Tucker Bounds (McCains spokesman) about Palins foreign policy experience, asked him to name one decision that Palin made as commander in chief of the Alaskan NAtional Guard. Of course Bounds had nothing. THEN McCain canceled his apperance on Laryy King because McCain said the exchange was over the line.

Whoa. What the hell?

McCain is going to get what he wants now with the media because the media can't afford to loose the interviews.

Nervously. Laughing. Out. Loud.
