The Lord of Loud are at the ready. Rush, Sean, BillO, Glenn, et al. They
will be front and center to answer all the questions you have about
Sarah Palin and they will explain in no uncertain detail (i.e. RNC
talking points) how she has all the knowhow necessary to do a wiz-bang
job of handling the vice-presidency. And for that, I thank them. Because
if they didn't, who would? Certainly not Sarah.

The RNC has gone into full Suppress-Sarah mode. No Sunday morning talk
shows. No print interview with Time magazine. No talk to anyone who has
an opportunity for a credible followup, like, "Governor, I know you're
the one wearing lipstick, but that doesn't answer the question I asked."

That's right. The woman who would be Cheney-redux; the woman who is
should be ready on day one to handle the second most powerful job on the
planet and- just in case - prepared to take the over reigns from her
boss, is not ready yet to answer questions from Tom Brokaw. The lady has
better things to do.

Then again, why do we need to ask her anything? She's already told you
what Bush's speechwriter wrote she should tell you. And she was able to
get it all out in a little over 30 minutes. And from that we now know
what we need to know about her readiness. Right?

Now, that Obama guy. He's been on the stump for about a year and a half.
Been interviewed umpteen hundred times. Whillikers, he's sat down with
Bill O'Reilly. What I want to know is, why is he hiding from us? When
will we find out who he is?

So, what's the difference?

Sarah Palin - 30 minutes and one speech.

Barack Obama - 18 months and searing media vetting.

Hmm.

Could it be that he's a guy and she's a gal?

Nah. Didn't keep them from pummeling Hillary.

Could it be that he was born outside the continental U.S. 48?

Nope. So was Sarah.

Hey. Wait a minute. I don't know if you noticed, but Sarah's white and
Barack is (s/b whispered) black.

I wonder... Nah, there's no racism to speak of in the country today. Is
there?

Well, thank God for that.
