Palin to Play Softball with ABC

clipped from www.politico.com Under pressure for being shielded for questioning, Sarah Palin has a agreed to sit down with Charles Gibson of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” according to an ABC News official. No other interviews are scheduled. It will be the first TV interview for Palin since she was named 10 days ago as running mate to John McCain. The McCain campaign kept her off Sunday shows this weekend and plans to be sparing with high-risk network encounters, which they contend are unimportant to voters despite the media’s fixation on them. But McCain officials could see her reticence was feeding the narrative of her being unprepared for the job.

That'd be the same Charlie Gibson who once asked Dubya, "You took a lot of doubting and rather skeptical questions about the surge. I'll give you a chance to crow. Do you want to say, I told you so?"

And it's the same Gibson who helped turn the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary debate into an an attack on Barack Obama.

Geez, was Bill O'Reilly too busy do it or what? Expect a lot of softball questions, softened with Nerf.
