Thanks, Katie - We've Got Our Answer

Breaking news on CBS last night:  The reason the Governor of Alaska has yet to hold a press conference is that she knows nothing.

Katie Couric revealed the Barracuda's true colors without even scratching the surface of her track record of lies. Could this have been any more embarrassing for the McCain campaign? Or her answers more unsubstantive?

Drum roll please...

And now, the Republican candidate for Vice President of the United States of America:



After seeing this trainwreck, McCain lied to David Letterman and scurried down the street to play damage control with Couric. Come on, Senator: you really think you could get away with lying to Dave?

The CBS interview comes just a day after CNN's Campbell Brown called on McCain to end his sexist treatment of his own running mate. Brown speaks the truth:

"By treating Sarah Palin different from the other candidates in this race, you're not showing her the respect she deserves. Free Sarah Palin. Free her from the chauvinistic chain you are binding her with. Sexism in this campaign must come to an end. Sarah Palin has just as much a right to be a real candidate in this race as the men do, so let her act like one."

Amen to Brown for giving us some real straight talk.

So thank you, Katie Couric, for letting Campbell Brown and the rest of us know why the McCain campaign has been hiding its prized pitbull. The national honeymoon is over for the moose-hunting mayor from Wasilla. No longer will Americans be fooled by cheap teleprompter attack lines, blatant lies, or Karl Rove talking points.

The incoming vice president will be a heartbeat away from staring down Ahmadinejad, fixing a broken economy, and getting American troops out of Iraq. Biden, Obama, and McCain have been held to the fire - so why not Palin? It's high time we all got to know the truth about the fourth candidate in this election - the real Sarah Palin.
