Palin is simply not ready for prime time except as a prop mouthing
whatever she is told


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who has not faced the U.S.
media since her surprise pick to run for vice president 10 days ago, will
begin giving interviews in a "few days," Republican presidential nominee
John McCain said in remarks aired on Sunday.

As a newcomer to the national political stage, there are many questions
about her background that have been answered about the other candidates in
the race who have been in the public eye for some time.

"Eventually she is going to have to answer questions and not be
sequestered," her Democratic counterpart, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, said
on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Eventually she is going to have to answer
questions about her record."

McCain, who along with Palin was nominated last week for the top spots in
the November 4 election, was asked by Bob Schieffer on CBS' "Face the
Nation" when that might be.

"Within the next few days and I'm strongly recommending that she come on
'Face the Nation' with Bob Schieffer," McCain said in an interview that
was taped on Saturday.

But McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, would not go that far.

"She'll agree to an interview when we think it's time and when she feels
comfortable doing it," David said on "Fox News Sunday."

and on faux with tame interviewers asking planted questions and her giving
prepared answers.
