McCain Puts Palin in Bubble

The McCain campaign announced today that it is putting Sara Palin inside a giant plastic bubble until after the November election. “Since reporters refuse to show proper deference to Governor Palin and continue to hound her with sexist personal attacks in the form of questions about her qualifications to be vice-president, we have no choice,” said McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds.

Bounds concedes that the soundproof bubble is an extreme solutuion, “but this is an extreme problem. The liberal media is bent on trapping Palin into saying something ignorant and so far every time she opens her mouth they have not been disappointed!” Bounds reassured the press that the see-through bubble will still make for great photo-ops. “She will continue to attend campaign rallies and even meet with world leaders. It will just be impossible to hear anything she says and, let’s face it, that is something both Democrats and Republicans can support.”

Sara Palin could not be reached for comment.
