I'll say it again: SARAH PALIN IS A COWARD. And that is a threat to national security.

The McCain campaign has stepped in to limit the format of the vice-presidential debates because poor widdle Sarah Palin is afraid to face Joe Biden.

We're supposed to cut her a break because she's "a relatively inexperienced debater" and facing Biden on the same terms that McCain will face Obama would put her "at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive."

Awwwww. Bless.

This is not playgroup, people. She's a grown woman, and she's out in the big bad world now.

We can't afford to have a vice-president who is so fragile that she needs protection from something as minor as a televised debate.

Sarah Palin wants to be one 72-year-old-melanoma-battered heartbeat away from the presidency, and expects us to rely on her to deal with Putin when she's too afraid to even face Biden?

The "pit bull" is a coward. She can't even face the press; they want her a heartbeat away from the Oval Office?

Apparently Sarah (Pitbull) Palin won't feel "comfortable" talking to the press until they treat her with "respect and deference."

Deference? Does she expect curtsies, maybe? Who the hell does she think she is?

She wants the second highest office in the land (and apparently some of her supporters are praying for McCain's early demise so she can have the highest office in the land), and she's not even brave enough to speak to the press?

What on earth would the woman do when faced with Ahmadinejad? Or Kim Jong-il?

We don't need a sniveling coward one heartbeat away from the presidency. And we sure don't need one whose supporters are dominionist so-called Christians calling for imprecatory prayers against a presidential candidate.
