CBS reporter Steve Benen dipped his pen into the Palin/banned book story today, saying the McCain camp was denying the list we'd all confirmed was bogus days ago. But he also raised a really good question. He said...
I can understand why the McCain campaign is pushing back against a bogus list that's making the rounds. Deceptive claims are deceptive claims, no matter who the target is. But as long as McCain aides are talking about this issue, maybe they can answer a couple of additional questions, such as, "Why did Palin try to fire the librarian in the first place?" Or how about, "Why did Palin broach the subject of book-banning if she had no intention of trying to ban books?"
Great question, Steve. Anyone wanna calculate the odds of Palin honestly answering, if she wasn't hiding from the press? What else IS she hiding?
