Palin...STILL HIDING

[DogPoundPup]

The Politico's Michael Calderone offers a look at the lineups for the Sunday-morning talk shows:

Joe Biden will be making his first appearance on "Meet the Press" this Sunday since joining the Democratic ticket, an NBC spokesperson just confirmed.

As mentioned earlier, Obama will be on "This Week" and McCain on "Face the Nation."

So when's Palin's turn?

Why, what a good question. When is Palin's turn?

Prior to last night, McCain campaign handlers could, with varying degrees of credibility, argue that Palin couldn't sit down for media interviews because she was prepping for last night's speech. That's not exactly compelling, but that was their story and they were sticking to it.

But they're going to need new excuses to keep Palin hidden from questions. It's not a sustainable approach.

1. She picked a fight..

..and then hid in the bathroom, after school. A fake bulldog to go with their fake war hero.

8. Maybe if they write their questions in the form of a note....

..and slip it under her door, maybe she'll respond.

9. The GOP are going to try and hide Palin right through the WHOLE campaign

The one time they'll let her out is for the Veep debate.

It's their intention to keep her hidden, because they know she can't cut it thinking on the spot, like if someone asks her a question that her speech writer hasn't written the answer to for her to read.

11. I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way to avoid the veep debate.

You may bet amongst yourselves.

[Wapsie B]

12. They'll put her in a protective bubble like they did for *.

Then when there is an appearance one will have to take a blood oath to even think of getting in. I'm only half facetious here.

13. Bet ya she first appears on faux, with pre-set friendly questions of course...
