thinkprogress.org — Palin has refused to give a single news conference, and has taken open questions from her traveling press corps just once ? and for fifteen minutes. Though she has granted right-wing Sean Hannity three interviews (better compared to infomercials), she has yet to talk with NBC, CNN, or MSNBC.

"PALIN JOKE: POST TURTLEWhile suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand wascaught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation withthe old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be aheartbeat away from being President.The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle.'Not being familiar withthe term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.The old rancher said, ' When you're driving down a country road and youcome across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a postturtle.'The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued toexplain.'You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong upthere, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and you justwonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with.'"
