The Republicans have put up a woman who used to be a broadcaster as their Vice Presidential nominee, and now they want to pass her off on us not by doing interviews, but by as a scripted mannequin, delivering speeches, presumably written for her just the way her speech last night was written for her:
According to Nicole Wallace of the McCain campaign, the American people don't care whether Sarah Palin can answer specific questions about foreign and domestic policy. According to Wallace -- in an appearance I did with her this morning on Joe Scarborough's show -- the American people will learn all they need to know (and all they deserve to know) from Palin's scripted speeches and choreographed appearances on the campaign trail and in campaign ads.
It seems to me that this insults Palin as much as it insults the voting public. Not only does it say that we have no right to know what the #2 to a 72-year-old man who has had multiple bouts of melanoma knows about major issues, but the McCain campaign is also implying that Palin shouldn't worry her pretty little head about such big topics, that she should just leave it to the menfolk and just get up there and look pretty.
Haven't we had enough of an unaccountable Executive branch for one lifetime?
