As the resident skeptic about Palin’s political helpfulness between now and November, it behooves me to come to her defense by saying that it might not be unreasonable for her to have avoided press conferences so far. Why not? Well, unless I missed something…. when was the last time Barack Justanotherlyingpolitician Obama held a press conference? Yeah, one where he actually took a bunch of questions at random. Why doesn’t the establishment media moan about their lack of serious access to him? I mean, this is the guy who begged off at one pathetic little press conference by whining that he “already has taken, like, eight questions!” Obama is the guy running for president, but he has had less investigative scrutiny in the past four years than Palin has endured in the past four weeks. The establishment media is, collectively, a flagrantly unethical and dishonest institution…..
