Sarah, we still hardly know you

Say this for Sarah Palin: The Alaska governor knows how to shelter herself from public scrutiny, even when debating on national television. Early on, she turned to Sen. Joe Biden and brazenly announced: “I may not answer the questions the way you or the moderator want to hear. … I’m talking directly to the American people.”

In case you missed it, “talking directly to the American people” meant deflecting direct questions by retreating to the comfort of talking points about Democrats raising taxes, the detachment of the Washington elite from the concerns of Joe Six-Pack and repeated reminders that she and John McCain were the true “mavericks” of this race.

Americans should not have to wait until after election day to know more about Palin’s vision for a national energy policy - with follow-up questions - or myriad other matters in this period of economic crisis and overseas wars.

We know what’s on the cue cards, and we know that she can deliver those points with winks and zing. Palin has said McCain never asked her to “check my opinions by the door.”

It’s time to let them out.

1. Yep. She's a traitor!

She's accusing the President-in-waiting of terrorism and shit, and yet doesn't want to speak to the press!
