Palin the Pitbull Placed on Short Leash by GOP

It's typical for the Republicans to try to control Sarah Palin. Straight Talk Express? She's not booked for any of the Sunday morning news shows and won't be having any news conferences or other media appearances that are not tightly controlled by Karl Rove's gang. Of course, she'll likely end up on Fox News but that will be a pep rally, not an interview.

Here are some possible reasons the Republicans want to keep her away from the rest of the "elitist" media:

--She might not know the names of world leaders -- or know which Georgia was invaded by Russia.
--She might be asked about the foolish "community organizer" remark from her acceptance speech
--She might be asked why she wanted to remove certain books from Alaska libraries
--She might be asked why she has welcomed a hate-monger like Pat Buchanan or why the Holocaust revisionist and defender of Nazi war criminals, is so in love with her
--She might be asked why she listened politely in August 2008 to a sermon in her church, in which the speaker attacked Jews and Israel.
--She might be asked about the millions of dollars in earmarks that went to Alaska that were opposed by McCain
--She might be asked why, with a middle class background, her party insulted working people and unions at the convention
--She might be asked why she thinks a woman who is the victim or rape or incest should still have that baby
--She might be asked how a party can cling to a "Country First" theme, then try to divide that country with disgusting (and downright dumb) remarks by Mitt Romney.

This is no Straight Talk Express. Pitbulls only bark and bite and attack when commanded...but they don't speak.  Much like Sarah Palin. 

Americans should demand more from the democratic process and should call McCain and his handlers on this hypocrisy.
