The XX Factor: What women really think.

Heh, Heh, Heh and the Death of Media Scrutiny of Candidates

Is anyone but me freaked out by the fact that the big punch line of Palin’s SNL performance was “Hee hee hee, I am never going to give a real press conference?” Her line to Lorne Michaels, “You know, Lorne, I just don't think it's a realistic depiction of the way my press conferences would have gone,” nearly led me to knock over a basket of poorly folded laundry. A candidate who has made herself all but unavailable for rigorous media questioning is cracking wise about how a press conference “would have gone” and this is funny? Her concluding joke, “"No, I'm not going to take any of your questions, but I do want to take this opportunity to say, 'Live from New York, it's Saturday Night,’ ” was only a joke in that it was totally true. Auggggggghhhh!!!!

Why is that funny?????
