In the first press conference Palin has given since ruining McCain's chances of winning the presidential election, Rick Perry stepped in and pushed Sarah to the side, interrupting her press conference abruptly and rather conspicuously.
Sarah and Rick have been of course rather good pals, he being in the group that helped her back up her story from another Republican Governor's Association conference about her latest pregnancy and her flight back to Alaska from Texas.
Here in Miami, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska has just given her first press conference since she shot to international prominence... It was a mess. According to my digital recorder, the actual Q & A with her lasted three minutes and 23 seconds and there were just four questions - three before press staff attempted to shut the thing down.
...
The whole event lasted less than 11 minutes, ending with Perry saying curtly "thank you all for coming" and a local television reporter shouting out: "Governor, a Florida question! C'mon, a Florida question!"
