Nothin' to see here...

Wow...you'd think with all the hype about her lack of talking to the press and people that are harping on her lack of foriegn diplomacy she would embrace this as an opportunity to prove them both wrong....not to smart if you ask me.

Now is this standard operating procedure when meeting diplomats, where you don't allow the press in....just curious if they also may n=be making a mountain out of a mole hill over this.

Palin bans reporters from meetings with leaders
By SARA KUGLER, Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is banning reporters from her first meetings with world leaders, allowing access only to photographers and a television crew.

Palin plans to meet Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe in New York on Tuesday.

The TV producer, print and wire reporters in the press pool that follows the Alaska governor were told at the start of the day they would not be admitted with the photographers and camera crew when they are taken in to photograph the meetings.

At least two news organizations, including The Associated Press, objected and were told that the decision had already been made and was not subject to discussion.

"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
