CNN “Election Center” anchor Campbell Brown normally remains relatively neutral when covering politics. She usually takes on the Blitzer/Cooper role of neutral moderator, but every once in awhile she can’t help herself, like when she asked a McCain advisor to name one order that Sarah Palin gave as head of the Alaska National Guard, which was being touted as her “foreign policy experience”(hint: the answer is zero).

Well she’s at it again, in what might be her most prominent outburst yet, accusing the McCain campaign of sexism in their shielding of Sarah Palin from any and all media attention. This comes in the wake of the banning of reporters from her UN meetings yesterday in New York. Watch the video above, or read the partial transcript below. Seriously, you’ll think it’s Keith Olbermann talking. And that’s a compliment.

Brown:

"Tonight I call on the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower that will wilt at any moment..This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud. She is strong. She is tough. She is confident. And you claim she is ready to be one heart beat away form the presidency. If that is the case, then end this chauvinistic treatment of her now. Allow her to show her stuff. Allow her to face down those pesky reporters... Let her have a real news conference with real questions. By treating Sarah Palin different from the other candidates in this race, you are not showing her the respect she deserves. Free Sarah Palin. Free her from the chauvinistic chain you are binding her with. Sexism in this campaign must come to an end. Sarah Palin has just as much a right to be a real candidate in this race as the men do. So let her act like one."
