Sarah Palin is Smart

. . . at least compared to this woman. I used to think that, even for politicians, there was some intelligence standard. No more.

"the press should only ask questions we want to answer."

Wouldn't that be a form of sensorship?

This is the logical conclusion to the assault on the media. Say they're biased enough times and people start to believe they're supposed to be "nice" to everyone. Once they neuter the media (90% there) there is no one to stop them.

George Carlin had it right. They own you.

I'm sure you realize this but it deserves to be said anyway. It's not simply the logical conclusion but it's the goal of the attacks on the "liberal" media.

At least she has one objective media outlet (in her pea-brained mind) - Fox.

Even the National Review was nonplussed. Their headline was "Did she Just Say that Out Loud?"

I dunno. Cameron seemed genuinely stunned. Angle was too much even for him.

True enough. I think she wants coverage by somebody like Fox's Steve Doocy.
