McCain Camp Cries: WHAAAAAAAAA! Leave Our Girl Alone!
McCain’s camp complained about media coverage of Sarah Palin and claimed that her private life was off limits.
Top McCain advisers said they welcome and expect a review of Palin’s mayoral and gubernatorial record but that the media has crossed that line with its inquiries.
“Certainly, her record deserves scrutiny, but I think we ought to look at her record,” campaign manager Rick Davis told reporters on a conference call. He condemned “the salacious nature” of some news stories designed to “throw dirt at our candidate.” He also lamented a “frenzied” mentality on Palin and urged the media to “dial it back.”
Davis also called for the same level of scrutiny on Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Honestly… What did they THINK would happen when they picked an unknown woman from Alaska with very litte governing experience? The media is always looking for a story, and McCain handed them a huge one.
And does anybody recall these guys crying foul when the media fed like rabid jackals on remarks made by Obama’s pastor?
I couldn’t agree with you more. If Obama had a knocked up 17 year old daughter the GOP would be all over it, exploiting the hell out of it. Obama, once again, has taken the high road by not commenting on it and making a point to remind the media that family ESPECIALLY kids are off limits. I, highly, doubt that McCain would be as gracious. Looks like that abstinence approach to sex education is working wonders for Palin. I’m glad that my 17 year old knows what a fucking condom is…..
