FOX News, that's right Faux News, Producer Shushannah Walshe took the McCain campaign to task for denying access to reporters who wanted to witness Caribou Barbie's U.N. photo ops earlier today.
This was all because earlier today the press was informed that reporters would be banned from covering her meeting today in New York with world leaders only photographers and a TV crew were to be allowed in. The move appeared designed to ensure that Palin, who has faced only two interviews since becoming the GOP VP candidate (well, only one real one, the other was with Hannity), would face no questions.
CNN decided to yank its crew in protest, the AP also apparently objected, as did other networks. Not wanting to miss this opportunity for Palin's meetings with these "world leaders" (Henry Kissinger and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe) to be shown, the McCain campaign then relented and allowed access for all of
29 seconds.
Palin is not a dumb woman, she wouldn't have gotten as far as she has if she was. However, she is obviously very very weak when it comes to her knowledge of foreign affairs and the McCain campaign's lame attempt to cover that weakness has just further exposed it, as this has became a major news story today.
