Transparency
So, Sarah Palin is meeting with foreign heads of state now. You know what I find interesting?
They let photographers in to take pictures of the event, so that we can all see The Palin actually seeing the faces of these leaders in carefully posed photo ops.
They do NOT allow reporters to attend, or even to know the substance of her discussions with these leaders. That is, assuming that there IS any substance to her discussions...
Now, I understand that much of diplomacy must happen in private. But if the meeting is to be private, why invite photographers in? What purpose is served by this?
HR specialists will all tell you: The Best Predictor of Future Performance is Past Performance. So... the McCain campaign is all about selling the electorate a load of ... nothing of substance ... while keeping the press at arm's length. What would a McCain presidency be like?
