Watching the media’s reaction to the Sarah Palin interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson I was reminded of the stoning scene in 1979’s classic, “Monty Python’s Life of Brian”.
The part of the interview that I watched had Gov. Palin sticking to her answer regardless of the number of times Gibson rephrased a question: Media 101. The media types I heard commenting later criticized her for that, for crying out loud.
I got the distinct impression they’d come to the auto-da-fe disguised as responsible journalists to watch this Alaska brood-hick get burned by an East Coast media sophisticate (you know, someone like them) and you could almost feel the disappointed fury when they were denied the blood-pleasure.
