9/7 Palin agrees to interviews, so long as she is treated with
"respect and deference"

\_ Because ANY evidence of inconsistency automatically rules
him out as Presidency-worthy, no matter how trivial,
because he's a Democrat. If he were a republican, he
could disappear for an entire war and not be suspected
of any wrongdoing. Or, he could receive family patronage
assuring him of a good military career, and that would
be completely fine, too.
\_ Sounds like Obama
\_ In Obama's case he has to be treated with "obeisance"
\_ Putin will say mean things to her when McCain dies, making her
cry
\_ Hi, no. Thanks. The interview will be a farce. It's been
arranged essentially like a celebrity interview:

Sarah Palin will meet with ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson later this week in Anchorage. It will be Palin's first interview since being named to the Republican ticket.

| talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/214508.php Josh Marshall I spent most of the day today traveling and then giving a talk up at Union College a few hours north of New York City. And though I heard about Charlie Gibson bagging the first interview with Sarah Palin, I was eager to get home and read the details. And it's pretty clear this farce is going to be close to unwatchable. Palin will sit down for multiple interviews with Gibson in Alaska over two days, most likely Thursday and Friday, said McCain adviser Mark Salter. Because it makes the questioning entirely at the discretion of the person being interviewed and their handlers. The interviewer has to be on their best behavior, at least until the last of the 'multiple interviews' because otherwise the subsequent sittings just won't happen. For a political journalist to agree to such terms amounts to a form of self-gelding. The only interviews that are done this way are lifestyle and celebrity interviews. The interview is a coup for Gibson, who also had the only sit-down with McCain during the Republican National Convention. During that interview, he did not question McCain about Palin's family, a decision that he fretted about for hours, Gibson said in a Web log posted last week. "Once you know about her daughter's pregnancy, once you know about her husband's political interest in the Alaska Independent Party, once you know about the special nature of their latest child, I think that's enough," Gibson wrote. The relevant questions about Palin all related to her experience and policy positions as a mayor and governor of Alaska. ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said he did not believe Gibson's stated stance about family questions was key to securing the interview. |
