Biden & (not) Palin on GMA

This morning on GMA, they said they have invited Palin to come on the show numerous times, but that she has repeatedly declined. They even offered to host an informal debate with Palin & Biden and she declined (although she said she would welcome the opportunity to debate him again). A pal o mine said the Today Show has the same story – Palin won’t go on the show.

She can spew all sorts of ridiculous, venomous vagaries and half-truths about Obama/Biden in a speech but she sure as hell doesn’t want anyone else asking her any direct questions (like Gibson & Couric). I hope the press continues to invite her and report that she is declining all these interviews – maybe more people will get the idea that she’s afraid to talk because she’s in over her head.

GMA had Biden on to talk about the debate this morning. He had some good comments but the best part of the interview was when they showed him the clip from SNL where Jason Sudeikis did Biden in the VP debate. Biden couldn’t stop laughing. He’d seen it before but it still cracked him up. That makes me like him even more. I want a candidate with a sense of humor!
