What you're trying to say is that Meet the Press isn't worth being on anymore? Quite true.

Only the second ever? Zombie Andrew Johnson must have been quite the ratings draw.

Thats very maverick like, but really, Tom B. is no hard hitter.

Letting the media run your campaign is the best idea ever.

and creating a nuisance: Only the second ever? Zombie Andrew Johnson must have been quite the ratings draw.

i came in to make a joke similar to that one.

John Adams was on Meet The Press? Wow, who knew? Subby apparently.

You know who else never appeared on Meet the Press?

Darth Vader.

Richard M. Johnson.

9th Vice-President of the United States.

Never appeared on Meet the Press.

Double phallic name.

Besides being a native born citizen above the age of 35 years and of good moral character, I never knew being on "Meet the Press" was a requirement to be President or Vice-President. Any other little known, or secret prerequisits?

It's not a PREREQUISITE, but how the hell can she be expected to sit down with Putin if Katie Couric is too much for her?

Well, there's the secret handshake

There's the ability to form sentences and answer some questions without a script.

For some reason this worries her.

This is correct. She is an inarticulate, rambling, obnoxious, toxic, whiny fascist pig. She can't answer questions for shiat. Her one talent is her ability to read aloud with a sometimes curious cadence.

The Meet the Press issue is only one example of this. But it's a big example.

Ahhh_Ennui... does this mean she can count on your vote?

aaron burr killed when we went on.

Yup. This.

Comedian Rush Limbaugh refers to the show as "Meet the Depressed", yuk yuk.

Of course not -- you don't get to read off a teleprompter on "Meet the Press".

The other candidate? You guessed it:

Goddammit! I've never said this to you before but I just wanna thank you for the years of entertainment you've given me over the years here at Fark. Thanks!

/this is probably your worst post but I still laughed.

"years"!

Kevin72: Comedian Rush Limbaugh refers to the show as "Meet the Depressed", yuk yuk.

Maybe Rush should share some of his Oxycodone with them.

With 800 newspapers to read, and the Sunday additions are huge, she has no time for liberal propaganda shows.

From the article:: Sarah Palin is only the second VP candidate to never appear on Meet the Press.


Why should she?

Gato Negro: Why should she?

Yeah! She's too busy dropping a puck at a friggin' Flyers game to debate our nose-diving economy or disastrous foreign affairs. Why should she spend time on "Meet The Press" when she can bobble softball questions thrown at her by Katie friggin' Couric?

Sheesh. I'm not sure what's worse - that she's an idiot, or that she resonates with so many other idiots.

So Dan Quayle didn't appear in '88....but him and Bush the Elder won. So I'm not seeing where any inference can be drawn here as to the larger meaning of her possible non-appearance.

/shrug, who cares?

FormlessOne: She's too busy dropping a puck at a friggin' Flyers game to debate our nose-diving economy or disastrous foreign affairs.

Is that why they are doing so bad?

I like how it's Olbermann & Matthews' fault that McCain & The Cowardly Princess won't appear. I'm sure it has nothing to do with McCain getting busted on his "Economics" quote from there.

McCain/Palin - Who says we have to be accountable? We're mavericky.

Even though she has been on the Sunday morning talk shows, Palin has answered the most important question to me, 'Is it possible for someone to be dumber than Bush?'

RadiomanATL: So Dan Quayle didn't appear in '88....but him and Bush the Elder won. So I'm not seeing where any inference can be drawn here as to the larger meaning of her possible non-appearance.

The inference is that, like Sarah Palin, Dan Quayle was a fool.

JFK on Meet the Press 1951. Before he was on steroids for his Addison's, he looks like he weighs less than the big woman interviewing him.

We need Zombie Tim Russert.

Joe the Plumber* will be on meet the press before Palin. He's already given more press conferences than her.

*not even close to being a real plumber but is the patron saint of Fark

No argument as to the fool part, but Danny and Georgie won.

So only fools don't go on MTP, but they wind up winning?

Bastard. :(

No need to insult Quayle that bad.

No, a sample size of 1 doesn't really have statistical significance for predictive value.

Sometimes.

We sure as hell ain't tellin' you what they are!

That's like applying for a job, and not going to the interview.

She is a liability...what is worse? To be thought an idiot or to remove all doubt and go on MTP?

This is what John McCain has decided for Sarah Palin. If this is what you want in a President, by all means, vote McCain Palin

This just shows me how clever politicians have become. If the media ask hard questions, refuse to take the bs and press for real answers, then the politicians won't appear on the program or have interviews with them.

NBC and MTP are just examples here. Unless the media can be used by the politician to get his or her viewpoint out, the politician wants nothing to do with them. They have to play footsie, just like late night entertainers have to do with movie stars, and it's become far too much of an exhibition of back scratching for my taste.

This whole "I only want to talk to reporters who are on my side" decision is why investigative journalism has become so popular, and why so many see it as being left or right leaning.

I can't see any way to change the situation, either.

what do you have against pigs? the pig is an intelligent, even noble animal.

Sarah Palin has showed the nation how awesome she is. She no longer needs the media to win.

Which is what I said the first time...sorta.

I'd rather vote for a dead Tim Russert than Sarah Palin.
