Sarah Palin to Be Withheld From Media

Apparently the John McCain campaign is worried that the truth about his running mate, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, will come out, so they are preventing her from answering direct questions from the media.

From Jay Carney, TIME magazine's Washington bureau chief:

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.

The American people deserve better than this.
