Palin follows in Quayle's footsteps in hiding from Sunday talk shows

"This Sunday, November 2, is the final Sunday before Tuesday's highly anticipated presidential election. Gov. Sarah Palin has thus far opted not to participate in what has become a campaign ritual: Interviews on the various Sunday talk show programs. Well, all of the major Sunday talk shows -- NBC's "Meet the Press," CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer," Fox's "Fox News Sunday," ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" and CBS's "Face the Nation" -- have now announced their weekend lineups and none were able to land an interview with the Alaska governor, just days before the election. It should be noted: The last vice presidential candidate to avoid NBC's "Meet the Press" -- long a ratings and gravitas champ among its competitors -- was...Dan Quayle." -- http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlDC/television/its_official_palin_ignores_sunday_talk_shows_99212.asp Wasn't the McCain campaign complaining just a few days ago that the Obama camp was "boycotting" programs?

Don't you know it's DIFFERENT when the Republicans do it because they NEVER get treated fairly by the evil, liberal media! After all, Sarah herself said the media is violating her First Amendment rights - or something like that...lol - for criticizing things she's said in her speeches so why on earth should the poor baby be expected to subject herself to such abuse? The funny and sad thing is she really doesn't have anything to lose at this point because most everyone already agrees she isn't qualified to be V.P. It's not like there's going to be any big "November Surprise"! When Sarah was first thrust upon us poor unsuspecting people I thought of how I miss Tim Russert and how I'd have loved to have seen him interview her but obviously she'd never have gotten within ten miles of Tim!
