57. You asked why Sarah Palin could not put politics aside for 60 minutes. I don't think *any* person

in politics would pass up an opportunity on national teevee to mention a little something about it - even a small remark.

Shoot. Even people here cannot pass up such an opportunity to talk politics in grocery store checkout lines, at gas pumps, at convenience stores, even at holiday dinners with relatives - we read about these encounters regularly.

Would you expect Billy Graham to be on such a show and not once mention Jesus? Or Dr Oz not to mention good health? Or Al Gore not to mention the environment?
