    Why does the press need to walk on eggshells?

    I saw the CNN folks reassuring Campbell Brown that she was not too tough on that Tucker fellow from McCain's campaign. WTF? He couldn't provide a single example of a decision Palin had made regarding Alaska National Guard (ANG) deployments, but tried to assert that just the fact that she is a governor means she had made decisions regarding the ANG that imbued her with military decision-making capabilities!?! Total bullsh!t. Governors aren't managing anything about their respective states' national guard units wrt their duties in Iraq or Afghanistan.

    So when the spin doctors can't even field an obvious question, it is the press' fault! And to punish them for asking hard questions, McCain cancels his interview. F*ing candyass wants to be handled with kid gloves. I thought he was supossed to be some kind of POW tough guy who was ready to protect us and go toe-to-toe with scary people in the world. NOT! He is scared of reporters.
