CNN's Campbell Brown to McCain campaign: "Free Sarah Palin!"
Top of the Ticket —
Campbell Brown, the CNN anchor whose confrontational on-air interview with a John McCain spokesman earlier this month raised eyebrows and caused the candidate to cancel a session with Larry King, delivered a blistering editorial Tuesday in which she accused the McCain campaign of sexist treatment of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
"Bear with me for a short rant," Brown began, before demanding that the McCain campaign "free (Palin) from the chauvinistic chains you're binding her with." Brown said the way the campaign has limited ...

Panic. It is something that happens to the best of us for different reasons. I have a fear of heights and small places. Put those two fears together, in an airplane for example, I have experienced panic attacks that are intense and thankfully brief.

McCain flack Nicole Wallace on Palin and the media:
"We didn't expect anyone to treat her as a cream puff because she's a
girl," Wallace said. But, she added, "I'm shocked personally at how
brutal many of the women in the media have been." Wallace pointed to CNN anchor Campbell Brown,
who urged the campaign to arrange more interviews for Palin and stop
treating her "like a delicate flower who will wilt at any moment." Oh, the brutality! Who wouldn't be shocked, shocked by a phrase like that? Especially when you consider that Brown was attacking not Palin but the ...
