Biden: Banning TV stations who ask hard questions

Apparently the Obama-Biden campaign is afraid of TV interviews with hard questions, so they are taking their ball and going home:

Oh I think we might be getting a taste tonight with the Obamathon. I will be watching Americas Next Top Model instead.

And Sarah Palin's excuse for being unable to string together two coherent sentences during Katie Couric's interview was that she was "annoyed by the questions".

When she can be bothered to answer them at all, that is. I seem to recall an almost total blackout on the press when she was first nominated. (I may not answer the questions the way you want me to. I'm just gonna talk about what I have written on my little note cards here!)

Okay, that last sentence was mine. But still...

Neither McCain nor Obama was any better during the debates. They would jump right from the question to their talking points. Blech.

Still, I think there's a huge difference between being evasive (which politicians always are) and threatening the press because you don't like their questions.

My perspective: Biden's statement was odd, Obama's economic proposals are socialist at least, and possible communist, and everyone should come clean with the Acorn thing.
