“I'm simply staggered that someone who could be president in an instant next January has been in her position for a week and cannot be asked questions by the press corps. Has this ever happened before in American history? Again: unbelievable. And terrifying.”
-- Andrew Sullivan
We should be used to this from Republicans, of course. This has been standard operating procedures going back to President Reagan. Critical questions are so liberal. If our majorities tend to be conservative, and if conservatives are content to accept this from their leaders, I guess there's not much we can do about it.
However, in Palin's case, given that she is so new to the team, it may be that they just want her to have some study time and to get caught up with all the policy positions and talking points. After all, she has already shown that she can be a pretty effective advocate, and she seems loyal all the way down to her go-go boots.
So long as you think you have Jesus in your heart.
