'The press is censoring me' — Palin

Getting to speak directly to Americans without that filter of mainstream media trying to I think maybe censor some of my comments as we lay out those contrasts between these two different tickets. — AK Gov. Sarah Palin

Honky, please.

The only person censoring Palin is John McCain, assuming he's in control of his campaign. Far from suppressing her, the so-called mainstream media has been insatiable for every available snippet.

Speaking of McCain, he turned up on Fox & Friends this morning to trumpet Palin's "natural energy pipeline," which suddenly has a new price tag of $40 billion (TransCanada's estimate is USD $26 billion).

There is no pipeline and if there ever is a pipeline it may very well get built by BP and ConocoPhillips, two of the firms that the Alaska government excluded from the license application process it undertook in 2007, which produced only one bidder: TransCanada.

I hope Joe Biden knows a little bit about that deal.
