2. What a bunch of CRAP! It hasn't even been ONE week since she was put on the ticket!
No way in HELL should the press back off after 5 FREAKIN' DAYS!!

if she can't stand the heat, she shouldn't fucking be running for the vice presidency of the united states of america!!

4. Yes, of course
I mean, they didn't ask any questions about Obama's background at all, so why should they about Palin? :mad: These people are ridiculous...

(Actually, what's sad is that, judging by some of the comments left on the MSNBC site, there is at least one person convinced that Palin is the first political candidate to be looked into by the media- and all because she's a woman, at that...!)

17. What a stupid question, deliberately worded to make it appear that ANY questioning
is unfair.
