So in her web video supposedly designed to defend the open discussion of ideas no matter how objectionable they might be...Sarah Palin disabled public comments on the video she posted on Vimeo.

Note that Palin released her 'heartfelt' video at exactly 4:00AM Alaska time...just the right moment to take the news cycle by storm, and make today be about her. Also too, and perhaps more telling, Palin didn't even have the courage to take questions from Fox about her message. Instead, she hid behind a TelePrompter, secure in the knowledge that she would not have to respond to a single question about her speech. Now that's political courage, eh?
