What is Sarah Palin Hiding?

So as I was reading the news this morning I came across a sentence which I think accurately describes Sarah Palin. It said “Sarah Palin was at the U.N. for a couple of photo ops but she refused to talk to reporters about foreign policy or anything else. She has not had a single press conference since being picked for the VP slot and keeps the press at a great distance, except for photos while she makes an ice cream run for her family.”

This of course is in stark contrast to every other candidate running who are taking every possible interview they are offered, realizing that its free press time where they can get their message out. Yet for some reason Palin, and Palin alone, is still holding out against the press. Now its one thing if you think the media is a bunch of left-wing nuts and don’t want to do an interview on MSNBC with Keith Olberman, but to say that you aren’t willing to do an interview on CNN, NBC, or even PBS you’ve got to have a good reason why not.

It seems to me that, given the number of scandals she’s involved in (“troopergate”, charging victims for rape kits, trying to ban books), it can’t be she’s afraid of people finding out anything about her. Thus it almost has to be the one thing people can’t find out unless they hear her; she’s afraid people will realize how stupid she really is.

I mean, she’s got bachelors in communication from the University of Idaho, which we all know does not come anywhere close to providing her with the kind of intelligence she needs to run the country, much less apparently the ability to give a coherent interview. When people tell me that I’m a sexist for criticizing Palin by saying she’s only on the ticket because she’s a woman and not because she brings anything to the ticket I can only think that if she really has the brains to be VP she’d be on every news show wanting to interview her. But instead she hides away and hoping that nobody ever hears her talk, and perhaps hoping the VP debate is cancelled.

Unfortunately for her, because she refuses to let the American people know anything about her, everybody will be tuned into the VP debate, and we’ll all be watching when we find out that what's she’s hiding is her incompetence as Biden tears into her. I can’t wait.
