McCain to reform Wall St., Palin says
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, in her third interview since joining the Republican presidential ticket, licked her finger and stuck it in the air, saying Sen. Barack Obama might wait and "see what way the political wind's blowing" on the Wall Street rescue package.

WASHINGTON — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, in her third interview since joining the Republican presidential ticket, licked her finger and stuck it in the air, saying Sen. Barack Obama might wait and "see what way the political wind's blowing" on the Wall Street rescue package.

The Republican vice-presidential nominee told "CBS Evening News" anchor Katie Couric on Wednesday that Sen. John McCain would take the lead in reforming Wall Street, or "we're going to find ourselves in another Great Depression."

She seemed stumped when pressed to cite examples of McCain trying to reform the banking industry, beyond urging greater restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. "I'll try to find some and I'll bring them to you," Palin said.

The interview came amid increasingly vocal complaints from some journalists that the campaign is walling off its vice-presidential nominee. Palin has been interviewed by Charles Gibson of ABC News and Sean Hannity of Fox News, but she has held no news conferences and has responded to one question from the reporters who follow her around the country.

2. just knowing she said it
should be enough to know it's a lie. the woman apparently does not know how to speak truth.

4. When I had just seen the title, I had to check this wasn't a satire peice
because I really can't see Palin having a clue on what's going on, or McCain reforming anything in finance.
