How do we know that Palin & Hannity won't spend the weekend rehearsing the "interview"
So we learned yesterday that Sarah Palin will sit down with Sean Hannity on FOX NEWS on Monday night in her first interview since the tragic shooting Arizona. Of course Palin has become part of the story because many folks have cited her "crosshairs" map as contributing to the heated political rhetoric that very well may have contributed to the shooting.

Simple question. Palin is employed by FOX NEWS and FOX news personalities are supporters of Palin so why should anyone believe this is an authentic interview? I bet you she and Hannity will be rehearsing all weekend or at the very least they will be going over all of the question in advance. There has never been a hard hitting interview of Palin, anywhere do not expect to see that Monday night on FOX.

I hope the media will call this what it is, its not an interview its theatre.

2. Of course they'll rehearse. But more importantly, cut, edit, tape,
until they produces the EXACT message that fox news and the repuke tea party wants to send.

3. It really means nothing because as you say it is Hannity's show, it is a right-wing audience,
her base so as far as I am concerned, it means nothing except the fact she does not feel confident enough to have a non-partisan journalist interview her and ask the question which Hannity, a fellow employee and both employees of faux are.

Doesn't help her at all except to get her base riled up and agitated at the corporate media and others besides themselves.

4. This is petty, I know...
But I will never look at a map of the united states again without cringing in memory of Palin's map. And that pisses me off.

5. "...Palin & Hannity won't spend the weekend rehearsing..." Is that a double entendre?
Or is my mind in the gutter again?

7. I've got a mental picture of Rupie sitting back in the director's chair,
beret on his head, megaphone in his hand, yelling "NO, DAMMIT!!! WE NEED MORE 'SAD PANDA' FACE FROM YOU, SARAH! TIME TO START EARNING THAT $3 MILLION A YEAR I'M PAYING YOU!"

8. They don't NEED to do that ...
This "interview" is on par with an aunt "interviewing" a six year old on how they are doing in school and what they are learning.

10. Scripted theatre. Don't expect anyone else in the media to
call them out though.
