Looks like the McCain campaign has finally stumbled upon someone in the national news media who is willing to show due deference to the GOP’s not-ready-for-prime-time VP candidate:
Republican vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin is offering her first televised interview to ABC News in the coming week in Alaska.
[…]
A McCain-Palin adviser says an interview was offered to ABC’s Charlie Gibson several days ago and that they expect it to happen in the latter part of the week in Alaska.
$10 bucks sez the Gibson interview takes place on September 11th, complete with all the hagiographic fixins.
Her handlers must be confident that she is a quick study…and make no mistake people, beyond the “aw shucks” I’m just a hockey mom, faux populist crap she is peddling, the fact that this former beauty queen with a heart of iron, who managed to bulldoze her way into the Governer’s office, and now the VEEP nomination, in so short a time means that she is a first class bullshitter. We Democrats must never underestimate her Charm Offensive. Sadly, the fact that she is a pistol packing Milf with claims to being a “reformer” will impress some low information voters, and if she performs well with Gibson, and I have no reason to believe that she won’t (I don’t expect him to press her for a lot of detail. on foreign relations, or on complex National issues), we could be in big trouble this Fall….
If the interview is delayed, methinks it is so that it doesn’t step on the Bill O’Reilly/Obama interviews Monday – Wednesday.
If last weeks interview is any indication, Obama better hope that the shows this week are a lot better.
Damn, The Annointed One is down in the polls today….
