Meg Whitman, the former Ebay CEO who John McCain has named one of the three wisest people he knows, apparently didn't get his latest campaign memo. She tells Fox News, "I wouldn't say there really has" been any sexism in the media coverage of John McCain's vice presidential nominee. "I actually think it's completely fair for the media to vet Sarah Palin," Whitman also said.

Either she didn't get the memo, or she wanted the job herself. Or perhaps she's just being honest, in which case I applaud her.

Just like Hainnity, Limbo and Faux Noise (Douchey et al) gave Barack Obama the benefit of the doubt ???

This woman gets IT ... This is called POLITICS ...

Those who scream sexism are causing more problems for women who aspire for higher offices ...

Who knew? Republicans have the ability to spark intelligent debate on occasion. Whitman is right about the vetting process, but the media should not have to do McCain's job for him!

Why are the Republicans recycling their speakers at the convention?

DO NOT WATCH P.ALIN TONIGHT.

Catch her speech online immediately following live speech.

Yup the fast forward is the sane persons' salvation

I agree to a point...
So to say that we should give her a chance...M­cCain has created all this...by hider her out & not allowing anybody to speak with her...you can not blame the media for pushing-that is their job!
So even in this case he is like Bush-does not think he has to answer for anything.

Oh, sh*t, I'm sure they'll catch heat over this. Although, we all know they are talking about this, just like everyone else, including Republicans.

Welcome to the angry left, angry right, angry blue, angry red USA. McCynical has no value for the lives of Americans. Tomorrow is not promised for any of us and he thinks he can jerk the country around with his sloppy second choice.

If you have to watch this RNCircus do it on CSPAN or PBS. Don't add to the ratings.

Thanks for the link. Made my day.
