In a first, Palin takes press questions

NEW YORK — Sarah Palin fielded four questions from a small group of reporters Thursday after touring several Sept. 11-related sites, articulating a forceful approach to the war on terror but offering mostly evasive answers to specific questions.

She also wouldn’t say whether she supports the reelection bids of embattled Alaska Republicans Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young.

“Ted Stevens' trial started a couple days ago. We’ll see where that goes,” she told reporters in what amounted to her first press conference since accepting the Republican vice presidential nomination.

She ignored a follow-up question on whether she would vote for Stevens and Young and wouldn’t say whether she would have done anything differently than the Bush administration in its war on terror.

“I agree with the Bush administration that we take the fight to them,” she said. “We never again let them come onto our soil and try to destroy not only our democracy but communities like the community of New York. Never again. So, yes, I do agree with taking the fight to the terrorists and stopping them over there.”

I read that sh*tty little article.  when was the last time The BarackStar! had a press conference?  you remember him?  the guy that the MSM says is qualified to be president because he has been running for president for so long?

DixieBelle is running in 2012, and she is going to start her campaign the day after the inauguration.  she will be the most qualified candidate in the field.  how can she not win?

I dunno.

I thought her answer to the fourth question was excellent.

She really didn't have to answer the questions about two other Alaska politicians--and she probably accurately sensed it was some sort of journalistic trap.

My idea has always been that a politician--of any stripe, including the Big Zero--is not obligated to answer questions that make them feel uncomfortable being asked.

It's nobody's business who she votes for. That's why they are secret ballots.

They're just pissed because they can't nail her with something good while Biden is out there tossing himself in front of a bus.   :-)
