CNN's Campbell Brown Rails Against McCain's Sexist Treatment of Palin
CNN anchor Campbell Brown ripped into the McCain campaign for its sexist treatment of Sarah Palin. Brown accused the McCain camp of treating Palin like "a delicate flower" for refusing to allow Palin to hold press conferences or field questions from reporters during her UN meetings yesterday. (h/t Jezebel)
I was already impressed with Brown last month when she stuck it to McCain toady Tucker Bounds when he was unable to speak to Palin's "foreign policy credentials." Here's hoping we see more rants like this one!
