Waitin’ for the ‘Gotcha’

I ran across a post by Jim Teacher this evening that provides some great advice for Sarah Palin when … not if … the drive-by media tries to trap her during an interview with a question for which she doesn’t know the answer.

… her answer to hostile interviewers who want to play Pop Quiz — which is pretty much all of them — should be along these lines: “You do realize that presidents and vice presidents have support staffs, don’t you? When a vice president needs an answer to something like that, she gets it almost before she finishes the question. I can send you a box set of The West Wing if you need a refresher. What a great show. It also portrayed the importance of speechwriters in presidential politics, which apparently our distinguished opponents thought everyone had forgotten the other night. Maybe because real-life speechwriters don’t tend to look like Rob Lowe? Or maybe only Democrats are allowed to have them.

I’ll love seeing her in action these next few weeks and months!
