For Discussion: Nominees for the McCain Media Patsy Prize MOREHEAD, KY (WEKU) - The McCain Campaign has just voted Charles Gibson of ABC News as the easiest touch in the mainstream media.

That's why they agreed to let Gibson be the first media figure to interview Sarah Palin.

Congratulations to Charlie Gibson.

The McCain Media Patsy Prize is certainly a prestigious prize and Gibson beat out a lot of tough competition to emerge as top patsy.

Postscript: Liberal bloggers Glenn Greenwald and Digby think that Palin will do just fine during the interview. I'm not so sure that's the case. Palin's certainly a smart politician, but media members can trip even the smartest politicians on small inconsequential points if they want to. The late and overly lamented Tim Russert's question to Hillary Clinton about driver's licenses for illegal aliens is a case in point.
